HD Marks 17 Consecutive Dividend Increases Ahead of Aug. 18 Earnings
What happened
Home Depot has extended its dividend growth streak to 17 consecutive years, with its next quarterly earnings report scheduled for August 18. The retailer enters the print facing a home-improvement market shaped by elevated mortgage rates that have constrained existing-home sales and, by extension, big-ticket renovation spending. The company's current annualized dividend yield positions it as one of the higher-yielding names in the Dow Jones Industrial Average relative to peers such as Walmart.
