Home Depot removed its COVID-19 pandemic risk disclosure while adding a new risk focused on maintaining safe and secure store environments, reflecting a shift from pandemic-specific concerns to operational safety priorities. The company substantively modified six risks, including expanded language on payment-related fraud and theft exposure, and broadened economic uncertainty risks that now encompass housing market volatility, political climate, and public health issues beyond pandemic-specific impacts. These changes indicate Home Depot's evolving risk assessment toward structural business vulnerabilities and macroeconomic sensitivities rather than pandemic-driven operational disruptions.
