Here’s whether Home Depot, Inc. (HD) is worth buying in 2026 —
based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs.
the S&P 500. Our current read: Caution.
🟡
Caution
Positives: above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); 50-day MA is rising (+1.04% over 10 days); RSI 37 — healthy momentum range. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); weak 1-year return of -10.8%. Currently 22.0% off its 52-week high. Score: +0/7.
HD is trading below its 200-day MA ($350.22) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 37.4 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -10.8% compares to +16.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 27.2%). The current 22.0% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
