Better Buy: Amazon vs. Home Depot
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Home Depot (NYSE: HD) have both benefited from increasing sales since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. The pandemic is also creating challenges for both companies -- increasing customer demand, fulfillment costs, COVID-19-related expenses -- although their business models are vastly different. Amazon's retail operations are almost entirely e-commerce oriented, while Home Depot's business is mostly focused around its brick-and-mortar presence.
As for their differences, while Amazon is growing its e-commerce revenue rapidly, it can only aspire to reach the profit margins that Home Depot achieves consistently.
So which retail giant would make a better buy for investors looking to open a position now? Let's weigh the numbers.
