Home improvement retail comparable sales growth measures the change in Home Depot sales across locations and websites that meet the company's comparable-base rules.
Home Depot reported 1.7% comparable sales growth in fiscal Q2 2026. Comparable customer transactions declined 1.0% while comparable average ticket increased 2.8%.
Home Depot defines the comparable population
The company generally includes physical and online locations open more than 52 weeks, including remodels and relocations, and excludes closed stores. Acquisitions are typically added after more than 52 weeks of ownership. Home Depot also warns that retail companies do not all calculate comparable sales the same way.
Foreign exchange added about 25 basis points to Q2 comparable sales, so the headline rate was not purely a domestic demand signal.
Use comparable transaction growth and comparable average ticket growth to decompose the same-base result. Use total sales growth for the broader reported-company view.
