I can’t believe I’ve been saying good things about Intel. I never told people, just buy Intel.

Carillon Tower Advisers stated the following regarding The Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:HD) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:

The Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:HD) traded lower after reporting weaker‑than-expected same‑store sales for the prior quarter. While weather‑related events boosted results in the prior quarter, the additional demand management anticipated failed to materialize.
