If you believe HD can sustain its stronger margin profile while improving growth and deleveraging, then the current discount to ROST looks investable because HD trades at meaningfully lower P/E and P/S multiples despite solid operating profitability.
HD trades at a clear discount to ROST on both earnings and sales multiples, while the model still implies substantial upside for HD versus its current price. The gap is driven by HD’s lower P/E, P/S, EV/EBITDA, and EV/Revenue, but ROST also justifies a premium through faster growth and much higher ROIC.
