ATLANTA , Aug. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Home Depot ® announced today that the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice has granted early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"), in connection with The Home Depot's previously announced tender offer to purchase, through its wholly owned subsidiary Gold Acquisition Sub, Inc. ("Purchaser") and subject to certain conditions, all of the outstanding shares of common stock of GMS (the "Shares"), at a price of $110.00 per Share in cash, without interest and subject to any required withholding of taxes.

The Home Depot Inc. HD reported weak earnings for the second quarter on Tuesday.

Home Depot has had flat EPS growth since 2021. Share price has improved in the past 3 years, largely because of multiple expansion. Recent acquisitions have boosted revenue, but margin pressure has stalled EPS growth. The current valuation looks expensive, justified only if Home Depot can return to 10-12% EPS growth.

One analyst says a pullback in promotional deals raised prices, possibly due to “a desire to protect margins in a tariffed environment.”
