Home Depot cuts 2019 forecast after sales miss

Home Depot shares tumbled Tuesday after the company once again cut its 2019 forecast, and also reported same-store sales well below estimates.

Shares of Home Depot were down about 5% in premarket trading.

Here’s what the company reported compared with what Wall Street was expecting, based on a survey of analysts by Refinitiv:
