HD revenue is 250% ish vs what it was 15 years ago. Currently at ATH. Hard to say they're dying.
Inflation adjusted, revenue is up 38% since late 2009.
Wal-Mart is similarly doing very well.
If you thought HD and WMT were dying, this may be a moment to reevaluate the heuristics you're using to gauge the health of retail businesses.
