High-quality earnings compounder

We continue to view HD as a best-in-class operator, delivering consistent double-digit EPS and dividend growth, as well as an ROIC above 40%. Despite concerns of rising rates, we believe the economy and housing backdrop remains supportive and see the company exceeding expectations, delivering the high-end of its 2020 targets. We reiterate our Overweight rating and raise our DCF-based price target to $210, representing ~13% upside from current levels.
