  • Maintained FY2026 guidance: revenue $92-94B, EPS $12.25-12.75, operating margin 11.6-11.8%, and capex up to $2.5B.
  • Expects Q2 EPS to be ~2% below prior year due to investments, acquisition dilution, and transportation costs, but comps roughly in line with full-year midpoint.
  • Pro customer backlogs stable, but DIY consumer under pressure; big-ticket discretionary remains weak.

Оценка менеджмента

Тон

Confident

Management acknowledged DIY and margin pressure but repeatedly emphasized execution, market share gains, and a proven playbook for navigating volatility.

AI

Оценка AI от менеджмента

Management said AI is already a tangible growth and efficiency driver. The Milo shopping assistant now supports over one million inquiries per month, with online conversion roughly triple for users, and MyLo Companion has handled 5 million+ associate questions. AI is also being used internally for code review and productivity, and capex is being directed toward tech-driven AI initiatives.

Капзатраты

Инвестиции и мощности

Management affirmed fiscal 2026 capex guidance at up to $2.5 billion, with Q1 spend of $521 million. Investment is focused on the total home strategy, including tech-driven productivity efforts and key AI initiatives, with no signal of a cut despite macro uncertainty.
