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: 50-day MA is rising (+1.64% over 10 days); RSI 47 — healthy momentum range; 3-month momentum positive (+7.2%). Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); weak 1-year return of -15.6%. Currently 21.4% off its 52-week high. Score: -1/7.
HD is trading below its 200-day MA ($346.04) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 46.7 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -15.6% compares to +20.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 36.1%). The current 21.4% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
