Can Home Depot Manage Tariff & Logistics Pressures on Margins?
Home Depot (HD) reported a 25 bps gross margin increase in Q2 2026, aided by $730M in tariff refunds. However, rising fuel and energy costs may offset these benefits. Management expects a full-year gross margin of 33.1%. Lowe's (LOW) and Floor & Decor (FND) also face tariff pressures, with mixed Q2 margin results. HD shares are down 26.3% year-over-year, trading at a forward P/E of 19.87X.
