In addition;
Strengths; Strong Balance Sheet, Home Depot has high credit worthiness (its "Investment Grade" in financial markets speak), this means its financial risk is relatively low (threat of bankruptcy is "low").
Weaknesses; Recent poor data on US housing (new home sales etc) could suggest weaker macroeconomic backdrop (i.e. lower future revenues due to people doing less work on properties they have acquired).
Opportunities; International Expansion - can take their successful model overseas (to both developed and developing economies).
Threats; B&Q (part of the UK Kingsfisher Group) has successfully copied the HD concept and has done well in the UK, France and is making very good progress in China.

Strengths: the company is a leader in its field, with a large market share.
Weakness: management problems. Trying to run that many stores is difficult, and there have been some problems with service levels.
Opportunities: to correct the above weakness. To find new products to enhance the existing line.
Threats: Lowe's, which of late has been doing a better job of managing the business.
