Home improvement retail comparable average ticket growth tracks the year-over-year change in average ticket across Home Depot's comparable retail base.
In fiscal Q2 2026, comparable average ticket increased 2.8%. That increase more than offset a 1.0% decline in comparable customer transactions and helped produce 1.7% comparable sales growth.
The comparable-sales bridge is approximate
A useful shorthand is:
Comparable sales growth ≈ comparable transaction growth + comparable average ticket growth
The bridge is analytical rather than an exact accounting identity because product mix, timing, rounding, returns, and other factors can create differences.
Read this measure with comparable customer transaction growth and comparable sales growth, not as a substitute for either.
