Home Depot Has an Advantage Amazon Can't Take Away

Home Depot Has an Advantage Amazon Can't Take Away

Both Home Depot (NYSE: HD) and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) are experiencing a surge in sales as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Each has benefited in unique ways: Amazon because people spent more online to reduce trips to the store, and Home Depot because it was deemed an essential business and allowed to keep its doors open during stay-at-home orders. Meanwhile, Amazon has been taking sales away from the entire brick-and-mortar industry.
