Home Depot is in a healthy financial position. Even if conditions were to deteriorate further, it has enough cash to maintain its debt obligations and dividends in the near future and is generating around $10 billion in free cash flow. The company is currently trading around 2 times its sales, which is low for its historical price-to-sales range over the past five years. Also, its price-to-earnings ratio is about19.67, which is just lower than the average for stocks within the S&P 500.

Being down 24% this year definitely means this high-quality stock is on sale compared to recent pricing. Long-term investors who are looking for reliability and a slightly higher-than-average dividend yield of 2.33% could benefit from investing in Home Depot today.
