Home Depot online sales grew at about double the rate of total sales in its Q1 2026.
In its fiscal Q1 2026, which ended May 3, Home Depot’s total sales reached about $47.77 billion. That was a 4.8% increase year over year from $39.86 billion. Meanwhile, Home Depot comparable sales increased 0.6% overall in Q1, and 0.4% in the U.S., specifically. Comparable sales include those made online as well as those through stores that the retailer operated in the prior year’s same quarter.
Also during Q1, Home Depot’s comparable average order value (AOV) increased 2.2% year over year. Its comparable big-ticket transactions increased 0.8% year over year in Q1. Home Depot defined big-ticket transactions as those of $1,000 or more.
After the quarter ended, Home Depot completed its acquisition of Mingledorff’s. Home Depot made the acquisition through its subsidiary, SRS Distribution. Mingledorff’s is a wholesale distributor for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment.
CEO Ed Decker referred to Mingledorff’s as “a carrier-focused distributor.”
“What we like about the parts business is while you have regional exclusives on distribution in certain geographies of a brand of the HVAC equipment, you’re actually able to sell parts nationwide,” Decker told analysts on Home Depot’s Q1 earnings call. “So we look to leverage all the infrastructure of The Home Depot, the stores and our online capabilities and direct fulfillment centers to start building a more robust parts distribution nationally.”
The Home Depot ranks No. 4 in the Top 2000 Database. The database ranks North America’s largest online retailers by their annual ecommerce sales and more. Additionally, Home Depot is the top-ranked retailer in the Top 2000’s Hardware & Home Improvement category.
Home Depot online sales in Q1 2026
In its fiscal Q1 2026, Home Depot online sales grew about 10% year over year. That marked its fourth straight quarter of double-digit growth, said William Bastek, executive vice president of merchandising.
Bastek attributed the ecommerce sales growth to Home Depot’s investments across its interconnected platforms.
“We are continuously improving our site and leveraging technology to do that, whether it is better search functionality, more relevant recommendations and easier and faster fulfillment options,” Bastek said.
He added that Home Depot’s “faster delivery speeds are resonating with customers and driving greater engagement.”
Ann-Marie Campbell, senior executive vice president, said Home Depot has “been on a journey to remove friction from a shopping experience.” She acknowledged that when customers place online orders to complete their projects, “they expect the right products delivered on time and complete. Over the last several quarters, we’ve leaned into faster delivery for our customers using our proprietary model, which leverages all of our assets to drive speed, what we call: ship from best location.”
Without quantifying, she said that has led to “tremendous growth in deliveries out of our stores.”
Home Depot has begun to route orders to the optimal store for fulfillment based on distance, inventory availability and delivery speed, Campbell added. As a result, she said, Home Depot has seen a reduction in customers’ cancellations and an improvement in the retailer’s fulfillment speed.
