A whale investor has taken a significant bearish stance on Home Depot. The targeted price range for Home Depot over the last 3 months has been $180.0 to $315.0. The current price of HD is up 0.27% at $300.02. HSBC has downgraded its action to Hold with a price target of $365, while Telsey Advisory Group and Truist Securities maintain their Market Perform and Buy ratings respectively.
The bearish stance taken by a whale investor, along with the high percentage of bearish trades, indicates a potential downward pressure on Home Depot's stock price in the short term. However, the current price is up and the price targets set by HSBC, Telsey Advisory Group, and Truist Securities are above the current price, which may counteract some of the bearish sentiment.
