Home Depot Inc. on Tuesday reported a higher second-quarter profit as the coronavirus pandemic lockdowns turned consumers' attention to their homes.
The Atlanta-based retailer reported year-over-year increases in customer transactions, average ticket size and sales per square foot, surpassing analysts' forecasts for net income and revenue.
Home Depot posted a second-quarter profit of $4.33 billion, or $4.02 a share, compared with a profit of $3.48 billion, or $3.17 a share, in the same three-month period a year earlier.
Analysts surveyed by FactSet anticipated earnings per share of $3.64.
Home Depot's quarterly revenue was $38.05 billion, up from $30.84 billion in the second quarter of 2019. Analysts had forecast revenue of $34.53 billion.
In the quarter, Home Depot recorded additional employee benefits of about $480 million, bringing the total it has spent on enhanced pay and benefits during the Covid-19 pandemic to $1.3 billion.
Comparable-store sales grew 23% year over year, and by 25% in the U.S.
The company's board of directors declared a dividend of $1.50 a share, payable Sept. 17.
