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.'

• Looking at the total return, or performance of 106.3% in the last 5 years of Home Depot, we see it is relatively greater, thus better in comparison to the benchmark SPY (78.4%)
• Looking at total return in of 61.2% in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively greater, thus better in comparison to SPY (44.1%).

CAGR:

'The compound annual growth rate isn't a true return rate, but rather a representational figure. It is essentially a number that describes the rate at which an investment would have grown if it had grown the same rate every year and the profits were reinvested at the end of each year. In reality, this sort of performance is unlikely. However, CAGR can be used to smooth returns so that they may be more easily understood when compared to alternative investments.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (12.3%) in the period of the last 5 years, the annual performance (CAGR) of 15.6% of Home Depot is higher, thus better.
• Looking at compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) in of 17.2% in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively higher, thus better in comparison to SPY (12.9%).

Volatility:

'Volatility is a statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index. Volatility can either be measured by using the standard deviation or variance between returns from that same security or market index. Commonly, the higher the volatility, the riskier the security. In the securities markets, volatility is often associated with big swings in either direction. For example, when the stock market rises and falls more than one percent over a sustained period of time, it is called a 'volatile' market.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (19.9%) in the period of the last 5 years, the 30 days standard deviation of 27.3% of Home Depot is larger, thus worse.
• During the last 3 years, the historical 30 days volatility is 31.4%, which is larger, thus worse than the value of 23.1% from the benchmark.

DownVol:

'The downside volatility is similar to the volatility, or standard deviation, but only takes losing/negative periods into account.'

• Looking at the downside deviation of 20.1% in the last 5 years of Home Depot, we see it is relatively larger, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (14.6%)
• Looking at downside risk in of 23.3% in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively higher, thus worse in comparison to SPY (16.9%).

Sharpe:

'The Sharpe ratio was developed by Nobel laureate William F. Sharpe, and is used to help investors understand the return of an investment compared to its risk. The ratio is the average return earned in excess of the risk-free rate per unit of volatility or total risk. Subtracting the risk-free rate from the mean return allows an investor to better isolate the profits associated with risk-taking activities. One intuition of this calculation is that a portfolio engaging in 'zero risk' investments, such as the purchase of U.S. Treasury bills (for which the expected return is the risk-free rate), has a Sharpe ratio of exactly zero. Generally, the greater the value of the Sharpe ratio, the more attractive the risk-adjusted return.'

• Looking at the ratio of return and volatility (Sharpe) of 0.48 in the last 5 years of Home Depot, we see it is relatively smaller, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (0.49)
• Looking at Sharpe Ratio in of 0.47 in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively greater, thus better in comparison to SPY (0.45).

Sortino:

'The Sortino ratio improves upon the Sharpe ratio by isolating downside volatility from total volatility by dividing excess return by the downside deviation. The Sortino ratio is a variation of the Sharpe ratio that differentiates harmful volatility from total overall volatility by using the asset's standard deviation of negative asset returns, called downside deviation. The Sortino ratio takes the asset's return and subtracts the risk-free rate, and then divides that amount by the asset's downside deviation. The ratio was named after Frank A. Sortino.'

• The excess return divided by the downside deviation over 5 years of Home Depot is 0.65, which is lower, thus worse compared to the benchmark SPY (0.67) in the same period.
• Compared with SPY (0.62) in the period of the last 3 years, the downside risk / excess return profile of 0.63 is higher, thus better.

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 (6.16 ) in the period of the last 5 years, the Ulcer Ratio of 9.91 of Home Depot is larger, thus worse.
• Compared with SPY (6.87 ) in the period of the last 3 years, the Downside risk index of 10 is larger, thus worse.

MaxDD:

'A maximum drawdown is the maximum loss from a peak to a trough of a portfolio, before a new peak is attained. Maximum Drawdown is an indicator of downside risk over a specified time period. It can be used both as a stand-alone measure or as an input into other metrics such as 'Return over Maximum Drawdown' and the Calmar Ratio. Maximum Drawdown is expressed in percentage terms.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (-33.7 days) in the period of the last 5 years, the maximum DrawDown of -38 days of Home Depot is lower, thus worse.
• During the last 3 years, the maximum DrawDown is -38 days, which is smaller, thus worse than the value of -33.7 days from the benchmark.

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) in days.'

• Looking at the maximum days below previous high of 193 days in the last 5 years of Home Depot, we see it is relatively greater, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (139 days)
• During the last 3 years, the maximum days under water is 140 days, which is larger, thus worse than the value of 119 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.'

• The average days below previous high over 5 years of Home Depot is 52 days, which is higher, thus worse compared to the benchmark SPY (35 days) in the same period.
• Looking at average days below previous high in of 40 days in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively higher, thus worse in comparison to SPY (27 days).
