Home Depot stock slides as labor-crunch warning lands, with earnings next on deck
Home Depot shares fell 1.3% to $375.11 Tuesday, outperforming the S&P 500’s 2.1% drop. The company’s foundation warned a skilled-trades shortage could delay disaster rebuilding despite available aid. Nearly 60% of Americans lack confidence in their community’s recovery speed after disasters, according to a new survey. Investors await Home Depot’s Feb. 24 earnings for signs of housing-related demand.
