Home Depot, the world’s largest home improvement retailer, is scheduled to report its third-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at 4:05 pm ET (9:05 pm London time), before markets close for the regular session in the US and after the European trading day has ended. The figures typically arrive via press release followed by a conference call for analysts and investors. Because Home Depot has not yet formally confirmed this exact date, it is treated here as an estimate based on the company’s usual pattern of reporting roughly three weeks after the close of its fiscal quarter. Full schedule and background on this recurring release: HD Quarterly Earnings hub.
Markets watch Home Depot closely because it is one of the clearest windows into the health of the US housing market and consumer spending on big-ticket home projects. Its results ripple into homebuilder shares, mortgage-sensitive stocks, and broader retail sentiment, and are watched by fund managers well beyond the United States because Home Depot sits inside most global tracker funds and pension portfolios that hold the S&P 500.
What is the Home Depot Q3 earnings report?
This is the quarterly results announcement for Home Depot’s fiscal third quarter, covering trading from roughly early August through early November 2026. The company, led by chair, president and chief executive Ted Decker, will disclose total sales, comparable sales (like-for-like performance at stores open more than a year), gross margin, operating income and diluted earnings per share (EPS, profit divided by the number of shares in issue). Management also usually updates full-year guidance, the financial targets the company expects to hit by the end of its fiscal year, which investors use to judge whether the business is tracking ahead of or behind plan.
The report matters to a wide audience: retail investors who hold Home Depot shares directly, index fund savers who are exposed through pensions and ISAs that track the S&P 500, and anyone watching the US housing and renovation market as a barometer of consumer confidence.
When is the Home Depot Q3 report and how to follow it
The release is expected before the market closes on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, with the headline numbers published in a press release and posted to the investor relations section of Home Depot’s website. A conference call with analysts usually follows shortly after, often webcast live and archived for later listening. As the exact date has not been confirmed by the company at the time of writing, readers should treat November 17 as the likely date based on Home Depot’s typical reporting cadence, and check the investor relations site nearer the time for confirmation.
Financial news wires, brokerage platforms and data providers such as Finnhub typically flag the confirmed date once Home Depot sets it, usually a few weeks ahead of the release.
What to expect
A consensus forecast for Q3 fiscal 2026 EPS and revenue has not yet been published in detail at the time of writing, and figures will firm up as analysts update models closer to the date. Investors should watch for consensus estimates from providers such as Bloomberg or Visible Alpha to appear in the weeks before the release. Historically, Home Depot has been closely tracked on comparable sales growth, the performance of its Pro (professional contractor) customer segment against do-it-yourself shoppers, and gross margin trends, which have recently been influenced by tariff-related costs and refunds.
In the prior quarter, Q2 fiscal 2026, Home Depot reported sales of $47.9 billion, up 5.7% year on year, with comparable sales up 1.7% and US comparable sales up 1.3%. Adjusted diluted EPS was $4.92, ahead of the $4.73 analysts had expected, according to Investing.com. Gross margin was 33.7%, helped in part by a tariff refund. In Q1 fiscal 2026, adjusted diluted EPS was $3.43, edging past the $3.41 analyst estimate. For the full fiscal year, the company has guided to total sales growth of approximately 2.5% to 4.5% and diluted EPS growth of roughly flat to 4% from $14.23 in fiscal 2025, according to Simply Wall St, which tracks Home Depot’s own guidance updates.
| Quarter | Revenue | Adjusted EPS | vs estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 FY2026 | Not separately disclosed here | $3.43 | Beat ($3.41 expected) |
| Q2 FY2026 | $47.9 billion | $4.92 | Beat ($4.73 expected) |
| Q4 FY2025 | Sales rose 3.2% year on year | Not separately disclosed here | Not separately disclosed here |
| Q3 FY2025 (year-ago comparison) | $40.2 billion | Comps and EPS declined | Not separately disclosed here |
What the outcome could mean
| Scenario | Likely market read | Plain-English meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Beat on EPS and comparable sales | Shares likely rise, seen as a sign the US consumer and housing renovation market remain resilient | People are still spending on home projects despite higher borrowing costs, which is good news for related retailers and suppliers |
| In line with expectations | Muted share reaction, attention shifts to management’s guidance and tone on the call | Home Depot’s business is performing broadly as expected, with no major surprise for the wider economy |
| Miss on EPS or weak guidance | Shares likely fall, could weigh on homebuilders and other housing-linked stocks | Higher mortgage rates or affordability pressures may be discouraging homeowners from spending on renovations |
What It Means for Your Money
Home Depot shares sit inside most large index funds and many workplace pensions, so a sharp move in either direction can nudge the value of retirement savings even for people who have never bought the stock directly. A weak report that points to slowing home renovation spending can also be an early signal about the broader US consumer, which matters for currency markets: a softer US economic picture sometimes weighs on the dollar, with knock-on effects for the price of imports in the UK and Europe. For anyone planning a home renovation, Home Depot’s commentary on demand and pricing can offer a rough guide to whether materials costs and contractor availability are easing or tightening. Mortgage-sensitive housing stocks, and by extension pension funds and savings products with property exposure, tend to move alongside Home Depot’s read on renovation demand.
