Consumers are taking on smaller home improvement projects as higher interest rates and inflation take their toll.
Home Depot\n \n said Tuesday that sales fell 4.5% at stores open at least a year during its latest quarter, and its income decreased 6.4% from the same stretch a year ago. The company also lowered its sales expectations for the year. It expects sales to decline between 2% and 5% in 2023 from a year prior. Home Depot said 2023 would be a “year of moderation” for the home improvement market, and sales for the quarter were below its expectations. The company’s stock fell 3.
5% during pre-market trading Tuesday. “The state of the homeowner is that they’re very healthy,” Home Depot chief financial officer Richard McPhail said in an interview with CNBC. “But I do think — and our professional customers tell us they hear this from their customers — there is that shift, even if it’s temporary, from larger projects into smaller ones.
