May 14 (Reuters) - Home Depot ( HD ) posted a
bigger-than-expected drop in quarterly same-store sales on
Tuesday as cautious homeowners shelled out less for big-ticket
purchases while focusing on small-scale repairs.
The company's comparable sales fell 2.8% in the first
quarter, compared with analysts' estimates of a 2.09% drop,
according to LSEG data.
