4. The Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:HD)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 88

Cramer highlighted that The Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:HD) is a “great one to own”, as he said:

“Now, not that long ago, we dropped in on a monster Home Depot store management meeting in Vegas where we heard about some great ideas for spring gardening season, which by the way, kicks into overdrive this weekend. Unfortunately, these big weeks for lawn and garden have been overshadowed by stubbornly high interest rates and no rate cuts from the Fed, not to mention tariff worries. Now I’ve watched this stock since it came public, and there are plenty of times that Home Depot doesn’t actually march to the tune of interest rates, but instead is levered to repair and renovation.

As so many people are stuck in their homes, I’m willing to trade up because that would force them to give up that low mortgage rate that they may have gotten during the COVID period. Now we own the despot for the Charitable Trust, and while I’m not expecting a blowout by any means, I have to tell you I like it long term, and it’s down 2% for the year, well, off its highs… Home Depot stock is a great one to own because, like Walmart, these guys have the scale to cope with the tariffs that are going to be put on so many foreign-made goods that they sell at Home Depot. The little guys we know, they don’t have that kind of flexibility.”

Home Depot (NYSE:HD) is a home improvement retailer that sells building materials, home décor, garden supplies, and maintenance products. The company also offers installation services for various home projects and rents tools and equipment.
