Home Depot (HD) is providing potential for the stock to warrant a premium multiple while keeping near-term expectations in check, UBS Securities said in a report Tuesday.
The report said estimates for 2026 have probably been recalibrated to an achievable level following the company's 2025 Investor and Analyst Conference.
"In a nutshell, our key takeaway...is that the company has a significant opportunity for growth," the note said, pointing to its strategic steps and investments to raise market share.
The note said estimates will likely go down for now, resting around $14.75 to $15.00 for next year based on initial outlook, and taking the mystery out of how it will guide for 2026.
"Home Depot will see more of a benefit from the fiscal stimulus in 2026 than either it has embedded in its outlook or the market is giving it credit for," the report said. "The company is simply giving itself room for outperformance over the long-term."
UBS kept its buy rating on Home Depot while cutting its price target to $430 from $445.
