Home improvement retail average ticket measures the average price paid per Home Depot customer transaction.

Home Depot reported an average ticket of $92.50 in fiscal Q2 2026, up 2.8% from $90.01 a year earlier. The company excludes HD Supply and SRS from this measure because their operating models can distort the retail-store comparison.

Ticket is a price-and-mix outcome

Average ticket can rise because unit prices increase, customers buy more items per visit, or the product mix shifts toward higher-priced categories. It should not be read as a pure inflation measure.

Home Depot's absolute ticket belongs beside customer transactions. For the comparable-store bridge, use comparable average ticket growth instead.

Primary source: Home Depot fiscal Q2 2026 Form 10-Q filed with the SEC.

Part of the Home Improvement Retail Economics

Connects Home Depot comparable transactions and ticket to same-base sales, then separates reported sales, currency, and online channel economics.
