This is the fastest rate of building-permit authorizations recorded since 2007 and Lowe`s love it

Lowe`s Companies will report earnings before the market opens on Wednesday 20, and the consensus EPS forecast for the quarter is $1,35. That`s much better than last years $1,04 at the same time.

EPS at $1,35 will be a jump of +29,8 percent YoY, and revenue is estimated to be $17,69 billion. Lowe`s are joining Trump`s economic boom in the market and have so far jumped 25 percent in 2019. I think they can feel the boost of the Fed`s interest rate cuts.

Builders started construction on new homes at a pace of 1,314 million in October, the Commerce Department reproted Tuesday. Housing starts were up 3,8 percent from revised 1,266 million in

September and 8,5 percent higher than the same month last year.

Building permits for privately-owning housing units were authorized at a seasonally-adjusted rate of 1,461 million, and that was 5 percent above the revised pace of 1,391 million set in September, and 14 percent above last year`s rate.

This was the fastest rate of building-permit authorizations recorded since 2007. Permits for new-home construction hits post-recession record high in October.

Home Depot dropped yesterday after the company cut full-year sales growth guidance. They reported $2,53 in EPS. Wall Street predicted $2,52, but the results are looking fine. Comparable store sales growth in 2019 will be 3,5 percent compared with pror guidance of 4 pecent, the management of Home Depot said.

Lowe`s dropped 1,42 percent yesterday while Home Depot dropped 5,46 percent. Lowe was dragged down by Home Depot. Will Lowe turn that around on Wednesday? Lowe`s has a call scheduled for 9 a.m ET on Wednesday.

Home Depot is the largest home improvement retailer in the United States and the best run retailer in the world

So far, it has been a good earnings season with a higher than average seventy-five percent of S&P 500 companies that have reported beating expectations. That was strong enough to push the stock market to record highs.

On Tuesday 19, Home Depot will report earnings before market open. The report will be for the fiscal Quarter ending October 2019, and the consensus EPS for the quarter is $2,52, which is up from the same quarter last year at $2,51.

The Home Depot is the largest home improvement retailer in the United States, and considered to be the best run retailer in the world. I have been watching this stock for years and it`s interesting and funny to see that they beat estimates time after time.

Home Depot opened up two stores 40 years ago. In 1979, the first two stores, built in spaces leased from J.C Penny that werw originally Treasure Island «hypermarket». As of October 20, 2019, they have 2,285 locations and 413,000 employees.

The founders created a company to keep alive the values that were important to them; Values like respect among all people, excellent customer service and giving back to communities and society.

In December 2006. the Home Depot announced its acquistion of the Chinese home improvement retailer The Home Way. The acquisition gave the Home Depot an immediate presence in China, with 12 stores in six cities.

But the Home Depot didn`t succeed in China. They lack of success in China has been attributed t o the disconnect between The Home Depot`s do-it-yourself ethos and Chinese culture. The market in China is more of a do-it-for-me culture.

So, as of April 2011, Home Depot shut its last Beijing store, the fifth Home Depot to close in China in the previous two years. As of September 16, 2012, all seven of the box stores in China had been shut down, and they has no immediate plans to further expand its specialty stores in China.

The US-China trade war is risky but the impeachment is even more risky. They want to impeach a president that have done so much for its own people, and tax cuts and many reforms have boosted to U.S economy.

Strong consumer activity and low interest rate is helping companies like Home Depot, and this is why they beat earnings all the time. At least for the last two years. But according to DM Martin`s Research, the RMI (remodeling market index) and future bid activity have come off their 2017 peaks in the past several quarters.

The management doesn`t seems to be concerned about the demand. Last quarter they said; «Current health of the U.S consumer and a stable housing environment» was postive for them. Its difficult not to be bullish, and share repurchase can push the EPS higher.

The company sells an assortment of building materials, home improvement products, and lawn and garden products, and provides various services.

Many companies have problems to compete with Amazon but Home Depot seems to do it well in this environment. But no brick-and-mortar player can take it all during the online retail competition. Home Depot saw that in July when Amazon and Sears found each other.

Home Depot and the broader recovery in the housing market

This is a week for retailers. I will take a closer look at Home Depot on Tuesday. Their business tells us a lot about the activity in the market. The fact is that Home Depot is at its highest level ever! The stock has gone straight up since the financial crisis.

The numbers from the retailers indicate that consumers are spending money some places and a more lackluster sluggish consumer spending other places, but one is for sure; Americans love to fix their own houses.

Home Depot Inc is the largest home-improvement retailer in America, and the company is set to report earnings on Tuesday 16th, before the market opens for trading.

The broader recovery in the housing market since the financial crisis have helped Home Depot`s recent jump. So have the consumers improving experience. On top of that you can add an extremely low-interest rate.

Other things that have helped Home Depot is the unemployment rate which is down below 5%. It seems like the consumers are earning money and spend a lot of money on their own homes. They buy properties because the housing prices are high.

Sales growth last quarter topped 21% from online sales. That is helped from the company`s focus on innovation which include Milwaukee Pneumatic Framing Nailer, the 20-volt Max Brushless Finish Nailer, and the Pergo Outlast Plus Laminate Flooring.

Home Depot`s Gold Medal Employees is interesting. Since 1992, Home depot has employed 570 Olympic hopefuls in its Olympic Job Opportunity Program. The program provided athletes with benefits and flexibility for training and competition, and the program was discontinued in 2009.

The Estimize consensus is looking for earnings of $1,98 per share on $26,49 billion in revenue. Compared to a year earlier, earnings are expected to increase by 15% with revenue increasing 7%.
