  "account": "President Donald Trump's portfolio included purchases of Mastercard (NYSE: MA) and Home Depot (NYSE: HD) in June, according to recent SEC filings. The Bill Gates Foundation Trust also held Home Depot shares, while Bill Ackman's Pershing Square invested in Mastercard during the quarter. The filing covered Trump's transactions for June 2026 and showed over 1,000 separate transactions for the month. The article focuses on Home Depot (HD), a stock that has gained attention as bulls believe the stock is poised for a rebound during a potential recovery in the housing market. However, HD has struggled due to slow housing activity and high mortgage rates. Despite this, bulls argue that a recovery in the housing market is inevitable and that HD would benefit from a decrease in mortgage rates. Current HD stock is down about 17% over the past year. The company is relying on its professional customer segment, which includes contractors, builders, and other workers who purchase HD products in volume. HD's sales growth for the year is expected to be 2.5% to 4.5%, while Lowe's (LD) has cut its guidance to flat. HD's forward non-GAAP P/E is 22.35, which is in line with its five-year average, while its forward EV/EBITDA of 15.45 is higher than the sector median. The article concludes by suggesting that while HD has potential, AI stocks may offer greater returns within a shorter time frame.",
