Home Depot: The DIY Drama Queens of Retail

Sure, Home Depot has been a reliable player in the home improvement game, with over 2,000 stores dotting the U.S. like freckles on a summer kid. But let’s talk about the stock. Over the past five years, shares have delivered a respectable 67% total return (as of Sept. 4). Impressive? Sure. Groundbreaking? Not so much. That performance pales next to the S&P 500, which would’ve turned your investment into the financial equivalent of Beyoncé headlining Coachella.
