2mo agoStructure Overview
Home Depot (HD) is a US home-improvement retailer with 17 consecutive years of dividend increases, though the payout ratio has trended up from a 10-year median near 50% to the low-to-mid 60% range and dividend growth has decelerated. Management has stated its capital-allocation priority explicitly: reinvest in the business first, pay the dividend second, and resume share buybacks only once debt comes down.
Canadian Planning Notes
- 1As a US company, Home Depot dividends are subject to US withholding tax; holding in an RRSP is preferred over a TFSA due to the Canada-US tax treaty exemption for RRSPs.
- 2TFSA, FHSA, and RDSP accounts do not benefit from the RRSP withholding exemption — expect roughly 15% withheld at source on US dividends held in those account types.
- 3DRIP is standard for large-cap US dividend payers; confirm your broker supports it for cross-border holdings.
