Home Depot Inc (NYSE: HD) has already gained over 20% since late October but a Wells Fargo analyst is convinced it can push further up in the coming months.
Home Depot stock has upside to $385Zachary Fadem named the home improvement retailer a “top pick” for 2024 in his research note on Thursday. His $385 price objective suggests about a 13% upside from here.
The analyst is bullish on Home Depot stock as it has “growth/recovery levers, margin recapture, and idiosyncratic Pro opportunity”.
His call arrives over a month before the multinational is scheduled to report its financial results for the fourth quarter. Consensus is for it to earn $2.75 a share versus $3.3 per share a year ago.
Note that $HD is about 20% down versus its all-time high at writing.
