Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on Home Depot (NYSE: HD) price target raised from $53 to $57.
Analyst, Alan M. Rifkin, expects Q1 EPS of at least $0.64 with possible $0.02-0.04 upside citing warmer weather across the U.S.
Rifkin, said, "We estimate 1Q comps of at least 6.0% versus an easy (0.6)% compare from last year...All-in, we look for operating margin to improve by 91 bps from 8.45% last year to 9.37%...Although the valuation multiple for HD has moved higher over recent months, we remain positive as we believe eventual earnings results may be materially greater than current consensus, given the stabilization in housing trends."
