Home Depot Inc (NYSE:HD) stock recorded a new 52-week high of $375.80 on Tuesday. The surge in the stock could have been driven by optimism regarding the home improvement space following competitor Lowe’s Companies Inc (NYSE:LOW) Q4 earnings beat on Tuesday.

Lowe’s delivered a 5.36% surprise on EPS and a 0.82% surprise on revenue. “We remain confident in the long-term strength of the home improvement market,” said its CEO Marvin R. Ellison.

Last week, on Feb. 20, Home Depot also delivered a 1.81% surprise on EPS and a 0.42% surprise on revenue when it released its Q4 results. Home Depot stock has been rising since the end of October. It is up about 27% over the past year, and up 35% since Oct. 26, 2023.

“We are planning for a year of continued moderation but with slightly less pressure to comp sales than what we faced in fiscal 2023” said Home Depot CFO Richard McPhail.

Analysts’ price target on the stock has been revised, post the release of the company’s Q4 earnings:

  • RBC Capital revised their price target on Home Depot stock from $299 to $277 while maintaining their rating at Sector Perform.
  • Guggenheim raised price target from $370 to $390. They rate the stock a Buy.
