Home improvement giant Home Depot (NYSE: HD), home goods retailer Williams-Sonoma (NYSE: WSM), and fintech pioneer PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) are all predictable businesses that offer a degree of safety. According to data from real estate company Redfin, the median sales price for homes in the U.S. is down a little more than 10% since May of 2022. It's a near-term risk to be aware of with Home Depot as earnings could drop.
