Home Depot DIY Demand Stays Soft as Pro and Online Offset Weakness
Home Depot’s DIY segment remains under pressure as cautious consumers defer larger discretionary home-improvement projects. In Q2 fiscal 2026, Pro customers delivered positive comps and outperformed DIY, while 13 of 16 merchandising departments posted positive comps. Comparable brand revenues rose 6.2%, with management citing market-share gains and offsets from Pro, Online and Home Services, though the stock is down 19.3% over the past year.
