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: Neutral.
🔵
Neutral
Positives: above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); 50-day MA is rising (+2.03% over 10 days); RSI 52 — healthy momentum range; 3-month momentum positive (+13.9%). Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); weak 1-year return of -15.3%. Currently 20.6% off its 52-week high. Score: +1/7.
HD is trading below its 200-day MA ($347.10) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 51.8 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -15.3% compares to +20.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 35.7%). The current 20.6% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
