Fulfillment speeds and new tools have helped Home Depot grow its online sales in its fiscal Q3 2025, executives shared on the retailer's earnings call with investors.

The Home Depot grew its online sales at more than three times the rate of total sales in its fiscal Q3 2025.

Total Home Depot sales in Q3 reached $41.4 billion, representing 2.8% year-over-year growth. That’s about $1.1 billion more than the $40.3 billion it recorded in Q3 2024 sales. Home Depot’s fiscal third quarter ended Nov. 2, 2025.

Home Depot said about $900 million of Q3 sales came from its recent acquisition of GMS Inc., which it completed in September. GMS distributes specialty building products including drywall, ceiling and steel framing related to remodeling and construction projects. That $900 million comes from about eight weeks’ worth of sales in the quarter.

Meanwhile, overall Home Depot comparable sales increased 0.2% year over year. In the U.S., they grew 0.1%.

President and CEO Edward Decker told investors on Home Depot’s Q3 earnings call that sales from Canada and Mexico did not reach the retailer’s expectations. He attributed that to a lack of storms that would have normally led to more sales of roofing, power generation, plywood and other relevant products.

“Additionally, while underlying demand in the business remained relatively stable sequentially, an expected increase in demand in the third quarter did not materialize,” Decker told investors. “We believe that consumer uncertainty and continued pressure in housing are disproportionately impacting home improvement demand.”

Home Depot online sales in Q3

In its fiscal Q3, Home Depot online sales increased about 11% year over year, according to William Bastek, executive vice president of merchandising. Bastek noted that Home Depot is “excited” about its successes across its interconnected platforms.

“Our faster delivery speeds are resonating with customers and driving greater engagement and sales,” Bastek told investors. “We know that as we remove friction from the experience, we see incremental customer engagement leading to greater sales across all points of interaction.”

Ann-Marie Campbell, senior executive vice president, noted two tools Home Depot launched in the past few months that enabled digital sales. The first is a project-planning tool Home Depot launched in September. It allows its Pro customers to manage materials, tracking orders and deliveries. The second is an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that she said “will transform the way Pros plan and prepare for their projects.”

“This new tool leverages advanced AI and proprietary algorithms to deliver accurate blueprint takeoffs and material estimates in record time,” Campbell said. “Pros can then quickly and easily purchase all materials they need for their project through the Home Depot, simplifying this complex process by going through a single supplier. This technology replaces a manual intensive process that took weeks to complete, increasing accuracy and reliability.”
