Home Depot Earnings Preview: Weaker U.S. Economy Could Mean A Slower Start

In 2014, Home Depot witnessed a 5.5% growth in revenues, with profits increasing almost 16%, even in the face of an infamous data breach that left credit and debit card details of close to 56 million customers compromised. While upbeat projections for the U.S. economy, and the housing markets, coupled with promising company-specific strategies might ensure sustained growth in 2015, Home Depot may be off to a slower start.
