A story on the same day is not a cause, and a group move is not proof either. Group: the median of LOW, BLDR, FND and JCTC that day, the largest companies in HD’s SEC industry; “moved with HD” means the same direction and at least half the size.
What’s next · results
Before the next report: what the first day after the last four did
Six trading days after each results filing (SEC 8-K, Item 2.02). HD reports before the open, so day 1 is that day’s close. 2 of 4 times, day 6 ended on the same side as day 1.

Next report: expected mid NovemberEstimated from the dates of its last four results filings. Not announced. Since the Aug 18 report: +5.20%. Four reports is a small sample.
Each line is HD’s close against its close before the filing, on licensed end-of-day closes. What happened after each report, not a forecast; a move on the day is not a cause.
Same industry
HD against four same-industry peers, a year at 100
HD is down 4.2% in a year. Jewett Cameron Trading is up 6.7% and Lowes Companies is down 1.6%. Of these four, Floor & Decor (−13.2%) and Builders FirstSource (−40.1%) did less. Weekly closes, Nov 7, 2025 = 100, on a log scale, so the same percentage move is the same height on every line.
End-of-day closes (Databento EOD), the last close of each week. The four peers are the largest US-listed companies by market value in HD’s SEC industry (Retail-Lumber & Other Building Materials Dealers) with a year of closes. It shows what the closes did; a move here is not a cause, a forecast or a call.
