Home Depot (HD)

TotalReturn:

'The total return on a portfolio of investments takes into account not only the capital appreciation on the portfolio, but also the income received on the portfolio. The income typically consists of interest, dividends, and securities lending fees. This contrasts with the price return, which takes into account only the capital gain on an investment.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (62.7%) in the period of the last 5 years, the total return, or increase in value of 96.9% of Home Depot is larger, thus better.
• Compared with SPY (34.7%) in the period of the last 3 years, the total return, or performance of 36.1% is greater, thus better.

CAGR:

'Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is a business and investing specific term for the geometric progression ratio that provides a constant rate of return over the time period. CAGR is not an accounting term, but it is often used to describe some element of the business, for example revenue, units delivered, registered users, etc. CAGR dampens the effect of volatility of periodic returns that can render arithmetic means irrelevant. It is particularly useful to compare growth rates from various data sets of common domain such as revenue growth of companies in the same industry.'

• The annual performance (CAGR) over 5 years of Home Depot is 14.5%, which is larger, thus better compared to the benchmark SPY (10.2%) in the same period.
• Compared with SPY (10.5%) in the period of the last 3 years, the annual performance (CAGR) of 10.8% is higher, thus better.

Volatility:

'Volatility is a rate at which the price of a security increases or decreases for a given set of returns. Volatility is measured by calculating the standard deviation of the annualized returns over a given period of time. It shows the range to which the price of a security may increase or decrease. Volatility measures the risk of a security. It is used in option pricing formula to gauge the fluctuations in the returns of the underlying assets. Volatility indicates the pricing behavior of the security and helps estimate the fluctuations that may happen in a short period of time.'

• Looking at the 30 days standard deviation of 28.1% in the last 5 years of Home Depot, we see it is relatively greater, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (20.9%)
• Looking at 30 days standard deviation in of 32.3% in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively higher, thus worse in comparison to SPY (24.1%).

DownVol:

'Risk measures typically quantify the downside risk, whereas the standard deviation (an example of a deviation risk measure) measures both the upside and downside risk. Specifically, downside risk in our definition is the semi-deviation, that is the standard deviation of all negative returns.'

• The downside volatility over 5 years of Home Depot is 20.6%, which is larger, thus worse compared to the benchmark SPY (15.3%) in the same period.
• During the last 3 years, the downside deviation is 24.1%, which is larger, thus worse than the value of 17.6% from the benchmark.

Sharpe:

'The Sharpe ratio (also known as the Sharpe index, the Sharpe measure, and the reward-to-variability ratio) is a way to examine the performance of an investment by adjusting for its risk. The ratio measures the excess return (or risk premium) per unit of deviation in an investment asset or a trading strategy, typically referred to as risk, named after William F. Sharpe.'

• The Sharpe Ratio over 5 years of Home Depot is 0.43, which is larger, thus better compared to the benchmark SPY (0.37) in the same period.
• During the last 3 years, the ratio of return and volatility (Sharpe) is 0.26, which is lower, thus worse than the value of 0.33 from the benchmark.

Sortino:

'The Sortino ratio measures the risk-adjusted return of an investment asset, portfolio, or strategy. It is a modification of the Sharpe ratio but penalizes only those returns falling below a user-specified target or required rate of return, while the Sharpe ratio penalizes both upside and downside volatility equally. Though both ratios measure an investment's risk-adjusted return, they do so in significantly different ways that will frequently lead to differing conclusions as to the true nature of the investment's return-generating efficiency. The Sortino ratio is used as a way to compare the risk-adjusted performance of programs with differing risk and return profiles. In general, risk-adjusted returns seek to normalize the risk across programs and then see which has the higher return unit per risk.'

• Looking at the ratio of annual return and downside deviation of 0.58 in the last 5 years of Home Depot, we see it is relatively larger, thus better in comparison to the benchmark SPY (0.51)
• Looking at excess return divided by the downside deviation in of 0.35 in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively lower, thus worse in comparison to SPY (0.45).

Ulcer:

'The Ulcer Index is a technical indicator that measures downside risk, in terms of both the depth and duration of price declines. The index increases in value as the price moves farther away from a recent high and falls as the price rises to new highs. The indicator is usually calculated over a 14-day period, with the Ulcer Index showing the percentage drawdown a trader can expect from the high over that period. The greater the value of the Ulcer Index, the longer it takes for a stock to get back to the former high.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (7.71 ) in the period of the last 5 years, the Downside risk index of 13 of Home Depot is greater, thus worse.
• Compared with SPY (9.08 ) in the period of the last 3 years, the Downside risk index of 14 is larger, thus worse.

MaxDD:

'Maximum drawdown is defined as the peak-to-trough decline of an investment during a specific period. It is usually quoted as a percentage of the peak value. The maximum drawdown can be calculated based on absolute returns, in order to identify strategies that suffer less during market downturns, such as low-volatility strategies. However, the maximum drawdown can also be calculated based on returns relative to a benchmark index, for identifying strategies that show steady outperformance over time.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (-33.7 days) in the period of the last 5 years, the maximum drop from peak to valley of -38 days of Home Depot is smaller, thus worse.
• Looking at maximum drop from peak to valley in of -38 days in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively lower, thus worse in comparison to SPY (-33.7 days).

MaxDuration:

'The Drawdown Duration is the length of any peak to peak period, or the time between new equity highs. The Max Drawdown Duration is the worst (the maximum/longest) amount of time an investment has seen between peaks (equity highs). Many assume Max DD Duration is the length of time between new highs during which the Max DD (magnitude) occurred. But that isn’t always the case. The Max DD duration is the longest time between peaks, period. So it could be the time when the program also had its biggest peak to valley loss (and usually is, because the program needs a long time to recover from the largest loss), but it doesn’t have to be'

• The maximum time in days below previous high water mark over 5 years of Home Depot is 207 days, which is higher, thus worse compared to the benchmark SPY (189 days) in the same period.
• During the last 3 years, the maximum days under water is 207 days, which is greater, thus worse than the value of 189 days from the benchmark.

AveDuration:

'The Drawdown Duration is the length of any peak to peak period, or the time between new equity highs. The Avg Drawdown Duration is the average amount of time an investment has seen between peaks (equity highs), or in other terms the average of time under water of all drawdowns. So in contrast to the Maximum duration it does not measure only one drawdown event but calculates the average of all.'

• Looking at the average days under water of 63 days in the last 5 years of Home Depot, we see it is relatively higher, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (46 days)
• During the last 3 years, the average time in days below previous high water mark is 59 days, which is larger, thus worse than the value of 45 days from the benchmark.
