  31. Analysts Recommendations

  32. Risk • Risk vs. Volatility

  33. Risk to HD • Higher interest rates reduce home improvement projects • Suppliers raise prices - increased costs • Over-expansion -growth is too rapid • Growth into emerging markets doesn’t work • Relatively low profit margin - any economic slowdown could hurt earnings (unlikely)

  34. Why Home Depotfor SMIP • Leader in the Industry • Twice the size of Lowes • Almost all ratios are better than Lowes • High ROE and ROA • Growth stock selling at a discount • HD plans to open 200 new stores per year • Moving into both Mexico and Canada (Lowes isn’t expected to move internationally for three years) • Price to Earnings near all-time low

  35. Why HD For SMIP Continued • Management appears to be rational • Low dividends due to ability to reinvest shareholders money at higher rates than shareholders can achieve • Consistent Operating History • Superior Growth rates • Favorable long-term perspective • Growing investments into homes • We understand how the company works

  36. Recommendation • Shares to Buy: 200 • Buy Price: $37.5 • Set 15% floor: $31.88 • Set Ceiling: P/E ratio of 60 or above • Don’t buy until price drops below target buy price after election
