Inflation adjust the company sales figures. If Home Depot same store sales fell by 3% in $ value - they actually declined by 3% plus inflation - about 33%. HD prices (especially lumber) are up by at least 30%. since 2020.

Even if one uses government CPI - (which understates inflation by 2-3x) HD same store sales are still down 12%. See John Williams Shadow Stats for more realistic economic measures.
