HD Stock Score 2026: What the Six Factors Say — The Home Depot, Inc.
The Home Depot, Inc. — the largest US home-improvement retailer — is one of the most-searched tickers on US markets. Most "is HD a buy" tools give you a verdict and name nothing that went into it. This page does the opposite: the Tapeline composite (from a saved snapshot), all six factor sub-scores, and the plain-English reason behind today's read.
HD's Tapeline Score Right Now
Why: Price trend score is near the bottom of its range; how it compares with the broader market is one of its lowest-scoring factors; smart-money score is below the middle.

What's Driving HD's Score
The Tapeline score runs from 0 to 100. It looks at six things, and HD's score on each one is shown below. How the score works explains what the score means.
Which way the price has been heading.
How the stock is doing next to the whole market: leading or lagging.
The company's own numbers: how healthy the business looks.
Whether company insiders have been buying or selling, from their SEC Form 4 filings.

What "Average" Means for HD Right Now
Average on HD (composite 41.1) means its score is around the middle. Some signs look good and some look bad, so there is no clear read either way. It doesn't mean "do nothing"; it means the data doesn't point one way, and we say so.
The label is descriptive, not prescriptive — Tapeline doesn't say "buy" or "sell" on HD. It says here's what six independent checks add up to, and leaves every decision to you. The labels above come from fixed score bands, not from an opinion of where the market should be.
How complete is this score?
All 6 of HD's checks had data. That is normal for a large, well-covered US company.
The count says how much data the score was built on. It says nothing about where the price goes next.
Risks to Consider Before Acting on HD's Score
The Tapeline score sums up six checks in one number. It doesn't know your circumstances, your time horizon or your tax situation, and it is general information, not advice.
The factor breakdown is the part to read carefully. The composite is a summary; the six checks show whether the read rests mostly on one check or is spread across several. Tapeline's score levels are descriptive — "Very high", "High", "Above average" — not "BUY" prescriptions. That distinction matters legally and practically.
