    Magic Apron rollout puts Home Depot stock in focus

    The Home Depot (HD) has pushed its Magic Apron AI shopping assistant to all U.S. stores, giving customers in-aisle access to product location, tailored guidance, and multi language support through the mobile app.

    Despite the Magic Apron rollout and August earnings, Home Depot’s recent share price return has been mixed, with the stock down over the year to date and over the past year on a total shareholder return basis, while the 90 day share price return of 5.24% points to improving momentum.
