Home Depot

The orange-signed warehouses of Home Depot are where weekend renovators and professional contractors alike buy their lumber, tools and appliances, and together they make it the largest home-improvement retailer in the United States. That professional customer, the contractor doing large and repeat business, is a big part of what makes it so profitable, alongside the sheer scale that lets it buy cheaply and stock deeply. Founded in 1978 and based in the Atlanta area, it grew into a fixture of the Dow with a long record of returning cash to shareholders. Its sales track the housing market and the broader economy: home improvement booms when people feel wealthy and mortgage activity is high, and softens when rates climb and big projects get postponed. The stock is a bet on the health of the American consumer and housing, and Home Depot's dominant position gives it staying power through the cycles.
