NEW YORK, Jan 12, 2026, 15:44 EST — Regular session Lowe’s Companies, Inc. shares climbed 1.1% to $270.09 in afternoon trading Monday. Meanwhile, rival Home Depot slipped 0.6%. Lowe’s stock fluctuated between $263.83 and $270.98, with roughly 1.9 million shares traded.

Home Depot stock jumps as mortgage-rate plan jolts housing trade ahead of CPI week

Home Depot stock jumps as mortgage-rate plan jolts housing trade ahead of CPI week

NEW YORK, January 11, 2026, 11:24 (ET) — Market closed Home Depot (HD) shares rose 4.2% on Friday, January 9, to close at $374.64, finishing the week on a sharp upswing ahead of Monday’s open. The move came as housing-linked stocks rallied after President Donald Trump ordered $200 billion of mortgage-backed securities purchases — bonds backed by pools of home loans — in a bid to bring down housing costs. Brian Jacobsen, chief economic strategist at Annex Wealth Management, told Reuters “every little bit will help push mortgage yields lower,” but he added the policy could also fuel demand and

Home Depot stock pops on Trump’s $200 billion mortgage-bond order — what Wall Street watches next

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 11:42 ET — Market closed Home Depot shares closed up 4.2% on Friday at $374.64 on about 7.1 million shares, after trading between $360.58 and $375.43, as investors bought housing-sensitive stocks following President Donald Trump’s order for $200 billion in mortgage-bond purchases. Redfin’s head of economics research, Chen Zhao, said the program would have a “fairly small impact” and might lower rates by 10 to 15 basis points — 0.10 to 0.15 percentage point. (Reuters) The move matters because Home Depot sits close to the housing cycle. When borrowing costs stay high, homeowners put off

New York, January 9, 2026, 21:20 EST — Market closed Shares of Lowe’s Companies, Inc.

Home Depot stock jumps 4% on jobs report, Trump mortgage-bond plan — what Wall Street watches next

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 17:25 ET — After-hours Shares of Home Depot (HD) climbed 4.2% on Friday, closing at $374.64, boosted by strength in housing-related stocks following weaker U.S. jobs data and news on declining mortgage rates. The stock fluctuated between $360.58 and $375.43, with about 7.0 million shares changing hands. Lowe’s, its rival, also jumped 4.3%. This move is significant because Home Depot’s sales closely follow housing turnover and large remodel projects, both slowed down by high borrowing costs. In December, CFO Richard McPhail said on an investor call that the company had “not yet seen a catalyst

Floor & Decor stock jumps 7% today — here’s what traders are watching next

New York, January 8, 2026, 13:39 EST — Regular session Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc. (FND) shares climbed 7.1% to $69.32 in afternoon trade on Thursday, after touching an intraday high of $69.94 and trading more than 1.3 million shares.

Why Home Depot stock is up today: tariff delay on cabinets puts HD in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 12:47 ET — Regular session Home Depot shares rose $3.33, or about 1%, to $347.43 in midday trading on Friday, after swinging between $341.10 and $348.40 earlier in the session. The gains come as investors digest a late-year trade-policy turn: U.S. President Donald Trump signed a proclamation delaying planned tariff increases on upholstered furniture, kitchen cabinets and vanities for another year, the White House said. That matters for Home Depot now because cabinetry and related categories sit close to the heart of big-ticket remodeling, where price increases can quickly change what shoppers are willing to
