The company previously anticipated an earnings per share drop between 7% and 13% and a same-store sales decline of 2% to 5%.It’s the first time that Home Depot has projected a decline in annual sales since 2009, when the U.S. economy was decimated by a massive housing bubble. Inflation is hitting Home Depot on a number of fronts. Americans are more closely watching where they spend money as costs rise. The average receipt at Home Depot declined 0.3% from last year during the same period, and customer transactions are down 2.4%. It is also getting more expensive to put big-ticket items on credit cards or to take out a loan to buy...
