courtney reagan ragan is here with more. >> if you're depressed about the state of retail home depot cheer you up. not only did it beat profit expectations but sales increased 6%. yes, it reached guidance shy of forecasts but analysts think it reaches the forecasting history and said that may sales so far have been, quote, very good. i spoke to home depot cfo carol tome and she said they are picking up near a competitor that's closing stores. she wouldn't say but i think it's likely hh gregg. she thinks shoppers want to buy from a retailer like home depot that's going to be around for the long run if they need support down the road. orders are picked up in store. it's a project retailer. not an item seller, dick's sp t sporting goods did put up mixed results but expects earnings higher than the street in the current quarter. comparable sales did grow albeit smaller than expected. positive comps but it's forecast is disappointing. all three posted positive same store sales. >> that's a good sign. courtney, thank you. melissa? >> thanks, guys. talking retail ourselves. analyst recommen
