Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank opened the first two warehouse stores in Atlanta in 1979 after being fired from a hardware chain, stocking far more inventory than conventional lumberyards and staffing with tradespeople who could advise customers. Professional contractors now supply roughly half of sales, and the 2020 HD Supply repurchase and 2024 SRS Distribution acquisition pushed further into that channel. Results track housing turnover, home equity, and repair cycles more than general consumer spending. Headquarters are in Atlanta.

Home Depot equity questions

How much does it cost to hedge HD stock?
The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and HD's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current HD option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
Does Home Depot grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at Home Depot typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
Do Home Depot RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
No. Home Depot restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
