Home improvement retail comparable customer transaction growth shows how transaction count changes across Home Depot's comparable retail base.
Home Depot reported a 1.0% decline in comparable customer transactions in fiscal Q2 2026. Comparable average ticket increased 2.8%, so comparable sales still rose 1.7%.
Traffic and ticket can move in opposite directions
A positive comparable-sales quarter does not necessarily mean more shopping trips. Fewer transactions can be offset by a higher ticket, and stronger traffic can be offset by a weaker ticket.
The comparable measure is narrower than Home Depot's absolute customer transactions. Pair it with comparable average ticket growth to see whether same-base sales growth is coming more from visit frequency or spending per visit.
