Home Depot added roughly $9.7 billion in market value in a single session, climbing to $294 by mid-day.
Moves of 3.3% or more in a single session are genuinely uncommon for a Dow component carrying a market cap near $293 billion. At that scale, a daily swing of this magnitude typically requires either a significant fundamental catalyst or unusually broad buying pressure across the market.
The climb was steady rather than a single spike, with the stock stepping higher through the session and reaching $294 in the latter part of the day.
For investors already holding shares, the question now is whether that momentum carries into the close and beyond. A gain this size holding firm into the final hour would mark a decisive session.
