On October 17, 2025, Manitou Investment Management Ltd. filed with the SEC like it was late for a very important Zoom meeting-and the universe of Q3 2025 was the main event. Their move? Offloading 30,004 shares of The Home Depot. At an average price, that’s $11.8 million down the rabbit hole. You know you’re in a money game when your “spending” sounds like a lottery win.
What happened
If you’ve ever tried to trim your portfolio like it’s a TED Talk on financial restraint, Manitou’s got a hot take for you. They sliced their Home Depot stake by 30,004 shares during Q3 2025, leaving them with 37,869 shares. Math check: That’s like cutting a slice of pie but keeping the plate. The average closing price made this transaction roughly $11.8 million in “I’ll just hold onto this for a sec” money.
What else to know
Home Depot now makes up 2.68% of Manitou’s 13F assets. If your portfolio were a group chat, that’s the difference between being the main character and the person who only comments on the group photo. Here’s the top five holdings post-filing, because apparently, variety is the spice of financial survival:
- Berkshire Hathaway: $84.91 million (14.8% of AUM)-because who doesn’t want to own a piece of Warren Buffett’s “I’m just playing the long game” energy?
- Alphabet: $81.33 million (14.2% of AUM)-because if you can’t beat the algorithm, join it.
- Idexx Laboratories: $60.74 million (10.6% of AUM)-vetting the future, one lab test at a time.
- Microsoft: $53.19 million (9.3% of AUM)-because cloud storage is the new “I’ll be there in five.”
- Amazon: $47.31 million (8.3% of AUM)-because who needs a social life when you can just have everything delivered?
As of October 16, 2025, Home Depot shares were trading at $387.39, which is 7.46% lower than last year. That’s not a stock-it’s a financial reality TV show. And the S&P 500? It’s out here living its best life, 19 percentage points ahead. Ouch.

Company Snapshot
The Home Depot: It’s like IKEA, but with more power tools and less existential dread. They sell building materials, décor, and installation services. Think of it as the “Ikea + HGTV + Yelp” of home improvement. Their business model? Retail stores, e-commerce, and services for everyone from DIY enthusiasts to professional contractors. It’s the financial equivalent of a group project that actually works.
Foolish take
Manitou’s been holding Home Depot like a winning hand in poker for years. But here’s the twist: The stock jumped 34% in two years, and Manitou decided to cash out while the chips were still hot-literally. During Q3, the stock was trading at 29 times earnings, which is like dating someone who’s a 10 but charges you $50 for coffee. High-maintenance? Absolutely. Profitable? Maybe. But at some point, you have to ask, “Is this love or is this a tax write-off?”
Home Depot’s still a compounder, but it’s got a $400 billion market cap now. That’s not a stock-it’s a small country. Lower interest rates might make it sparkle again, but don’t expect it to be your next “I bought it for $10 and sold it for $1,000” story. This is more of a “set it and forget it” dividend play. Just don’t forget to check your mailbox for those checks. 📧
