If you believe HD can sustain its stronger margins and ROIC while maintaining modest growth, then the stock looks worth owning because it trades at a lower P/E than UNH despite better profitability; if you want cleaner quality and faster growth confirmation, the mixed F-Score argues for caution.
HD trades at 21.7x P/E versus UNH at 28.6x, so HD is cheaper on earnings despite a higher current price-to-sales multiple of 1.9x versus 0.8x for UNH. The implied price of $407.26 suggests 32.1% upside, but HD is already above the upper end of its historical band at the current price relative to the provided range.
