Home Depot Books $730M Tariff Refund Windfall in Q2
HD sits 18% above its 52-week low of $289.1.
Summary
Home Depot received $730 million in IEEPA tariff refunds during Q2, which reduced cost of goods sold by $685 million. This is a material one-time benefit that likely boosted the quarter's gross margin and EPS beyond operational performance. The refunds follow the company's strong Q2 results reported earlier today, adding a non-recurring tailwind to the beat. Investors should note this is not a recurring earnings driver, but it does improve cash flow and may support the paused buyback program.
