Home Depot Navigates Traffic Decline, Reaffirms Annual Outlook
The Home Depot Inc. (NYSE:HD) reported second-quarter fiscal 2025 sales of $45.277 billion, up 4.9% from $43.175 billion a year earlier, but slightly below Wall Street's estimate of $45.356 billion. Comparable sales rose 1.0%, with U.S. comparable sales increasing 1.4%. Foreign exchange rates weighed on results, reducing companywide comparable sales by 40 basis points. Net earnings were $4.6 billion, or $4.58 per diluted share, compared with $4.6 billion, or $4.60 per share, in the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $4.68, just above last year's $4.67 but short of the $4.71 consensus estimate. Also Read: 'Our second quarter results were in line with our expectations. The momentum that began in the back half of last year continued throughout the first half as customers engaged more broadly in smaller home improvement projects,' said Ted Decker, chair, president, and CEO. Operating income totaled $6.555 billion, with an operating margin of 14.5%, compared with $6.534 billion and 15.1% a year earlier. Adjusted operating income reached $6.694 billion, with an adjusted margin of 14.8%, down from $6.624 billion and 15.3% last year. Comparable customer transactions declined 0.4% on a same-store basis, while total customer transactions fell 0.9% to 446.8 million. The average ticket increased 1.4% to $90.01, offsetting some of the decline in traffic. For the first six months of fiscal 2025, net cash provided by operating activities was $8.968 billion, compared with $10.906 billion in the same period last year. Capital expenditures were $1.723 billion, acquisitions totaled $233 million, and dividends paid reached $4.574 billion. View more earnings on HD At the quarter's end, cash and cash equivalents were $2.804 billion, up from $1.613 billion a year earlier. Adjusted debt, which includes long-term borrowings, current maturities, and lease liabilities, declined to $61.321 billion from $64.612 billion in the prior year. Return on invested capital (ROIC) was 27.2% (down from 31.9% a year earlier), while adjusted debt-to-EBITDAR improved to 2.2x from 2.5x, supported by EBITDAR of $27.325 billion versus $26.005 billion last year. At the end of the quarter, Home Depot operated 2,353 retail stores and more than 800 branches, employing over 470,000 associates in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and territories. Tariffs After the first-quarter release, CFO Richard McPhail had said the company had diversified its merchandise sourcing and would not raise prices despite higher tariffs. He added that, as higher interest rates slowed the housing market, Home Depot attracted more business from professional customers and expanded its reach through the acquisition of SRS Distribution, a distributor of roofing, pool, and landscaping supplies. While tariffs were not explicitly mentioned in the second-quarter earnings release, the company expanded its forward-looking statement compared to the fourth quarter 2024 to include risks tied to 'tariffs, trade policy changes or restrictions, or international trade disputes,' along with multiple references to supply chain diversification. Outlook Home Depot reaffirmed its fiscal 2025 outlook, guiding for approximately 2.8% sales growth and 1.0% comparable sales growth for the 52-week year. The company expects a gross margin of 33.4%, an operating margin of 13.0%, and an adjusted operating margin of 13.4%. Diluted EPS is projected to decline about 3% to $14.46, compared with the $14.62 consensus estimate, while adjusted diluted EPS is forecast at $14.94, down 2% from last year and below the $15.00 estimate. Full-year sales are expected to reach $163.980 billion, short of the $164.303 billion consensus, with capital expenditures at roughly 2.5% of sales.

How To Earn $500 A Month From Toll Brothers Stock Ahead Of Q3 Earnings
Toll Brothers, Inc. (NYSE:TOL) will release earnings results for the third quarter, after the closing bell on Tuesday, Aug. 19. Analysts expect the Fort Washington, Pennsylvania-based company to report quarterly earnings at $3.60 per share, down from $3.64 per share in the year-ago period. Toll Brothers projects to report quarterly revenue of $2.86 billion, compared to $2.73 billion a year earlier, according to data from Benzinga Pro. The company beat analyst estimates for earnings per share in the second quarter and has beaten analyst estimates in eight of the last 10 quarters overall. With the recent buzz around Toll Brothers, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends too. As of now, Toll Brothers offers an annual dividend yield of 0.76%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 25 cents per share ($1.00 a year). So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly? To earn $500 per month, or $6,000 annually from dividends, you need an investment of about $787,080. That's around 6,000 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $157,416 or around 1,200 shares. To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($1.00 in this case). So, $6,000 / $1.00 = 6,000 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $1.00 = 1,200 shares ($100 per month). View more earnings on TOL Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time. How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock's current price. For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40). Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.

NEW YORK & LONDON & MUMBAI, India--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE: WNS) ('WNS' or the 'Company'), a digital-led business transformation and services company, today announced that leading independent proxy advisory firms Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ('ISS') and Glass, Lewis & Co. ('Glass Lewis') have each recommended that shareholders vote 'FOR' the previously announced acquisition of the Company by Capgemini SE (EUR: CAP) ('Capgemini'). The 'FOR' recommendations apply to both proxy voting proposals to be considered at the upcoming Court Meeting and General Meeting of Shareholders ('General Meeting'), each scheduled for August 29, 2025. As previously announced on July 7, 2025, WNS and Capgemini entered into a definitive transaction agreement pursuant to which Capgemini will acquire WNS for a cash consideration of $76.50 per WNS share. The total cash consideration will amount to $3.3 billion, excluding WNS net financial debt. The transaction remains on track to close prior to the end of the calendar year, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. ISS and Glass Lewis have reviewed the proposed transaction and determined that it is in the best interests of WNS shareholders. Both firms cited the Company's evaluation of alternative proposals and implied share price premium as key factors in establishing their 'FOR' recommendations. 1 WNS' Board of Directors has also unanimously recommended that shareholders vote 'FOR' this strategic combination at both the upcoming Court Meeting and General Meeting. Shareholders are encouraged to vote as soon as possible. The Company's shareholders are reminded that their vote is extremely important, no matter how many shares they own.

WNS Shareholders may also vote online following the instructions set out in the Forms of Proxy, instead of submitting the relevant Forms of Proxy by mail. Votes submitted online must be received not later than 2.00 p.m. (London Time) on August 27, 2025 (in the case of the Court Meeting) or 2.15 p.m. (London Time) on August 27, 2025 (in the case of the General Meeting). It is important that, for the Court Meeting in particular, as many votes as possible are cast so that the Court may be satisfied that there is a fair representation of the opinion of WNS Shareholders. Whether or not you intend to attend and/or vote at the Court Meeting in person, WNS Shareholders are strongly advised to sign and return your Form of Proxy for the Court Meeting (or vote online) as soon as possible and in any event prior to 2.00 p.m. (London Time) on August 27, 2025. Registered Shareholders should follow the voting instructions provided by WNS, as described above, while Beneficial Holders should follow the instructions provided by their broker or other intermediary to ensure their vote is counted. 1 Permission to cite ISS and Glass Lewis was neither sought nor obtained.
