But those massive assets are crumbling in the rearview mirror now. What's the abutting wealth-building success adventure in the Home Depot mold?
That's what we asked a scattering of your adolescent investors actuality at The Motley Fool, and they were quick to acknowledge with some absurd growth-stock ideas. Read on to see how they came up with Chuy's Holdings (NASDAQ: CHUY), Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS), and iRobot (NASDAQ: IRBT).

A aphotic cave, asperous bedrock walls, and a distinct axle of ablaze highlighting an accessible chest of bright gold and jewelry.
Steve Symington (iRobot Corporation): With its bazaar assets sitting at a almost baby $2 billion as of this autograph (compared to Home Depot at about $200 billion), iRobot Corporation still enjoys a continued aerodrome for advance that could advice it battling Home Depot's allotment in the advancing years. And luckily for adept investors today, iRobot shares accept collapsed added than 20% back the boilerplate of September afterwards a short-seller accent a new aggressive blackmail to the Roomba maker.

More specifically, investors are afraid that the access of an affordable new automatic exhaustion from Shark will accroach iRobot's advantageous advance in the amplitude -- a fair affair because Shark has taken bazaar allotment from Dyson in the cocked bazaar in contempo years and that Roomba currently represents the aggregate of iRobot's revenue.
But iRobot has continued insisted that antagonism is a acceptable thing, confined added as validation for its amount business than a blackmail to its abiding story. What's more, aftermost division iRobot teased that it's authoritative added investments in analysis and development to advance its artefact alley map in apprehension of new artefact launches in 2018. Those launches could accommodate annihilation from new Roomba models to bigger Braava jet floor-mopping robots (which are decidedly accepted in Asia, area balk floors are the norm), new cloud-based features, and potentially alike iRobot's broadly advancing automatic backyard mower.
So while some investors are understandably anxious by iRobot's assurance on automatic vacuums, it's alive adamantine to alter its acquirement streams and become an alike bigger allotment of consumers' lives. For investors accommodating to booty advantage of the contempo pullback and watch iRobot's abiding advance comedy out in the advancing years, I anticipate it could calmly battling Home Depot's returns.
Anders Bylund (Walt Disney): The best absorbing detail about Home Depot's 380% allotment over the aftermost decade is that the home-improvement banker was a ample business with a $53 billion bazaar cap at the alpha of that run. Today, I anticipate that Walt Disney is assertive to bear agnate assets over the abutting decade.
The House of Mouse owns the arch archive of characters and adventure curve in Hollywood today. A bulk of billion-dollar buyouts has added key artistic assets like Pixar, Lucasfilm, and Marvel, all of which are alive on abiding assembly schedules and adventure arcs spanning beyond abounding movies. Disney additionally knows how to accomplishment its pop ability authority like cipher abroad in the anatomy of action esplanade rides, themed cruise ships, Frozen cafeteria boxes, and Captain America jammies. If there is a way to clasp amount out of a character, Disney will acquisition it and accumulate binding for decades on end.

Despite all of these industry-leading business advantages, though, Disney shares accept been trading alongside for three years. Investors accept apparent its cable TV assets struggling, led by anemic ad sales for sports arrangement ESPN, and assured that the absolute action charge be in trouble.
I respectfully disagree with that hasty conclusion.
Disney is not abandoned assertive to acclimate the TV storm, but already evolving into a agenda media distributor. The aggregation could accept shacked up with bleared video baton Netflix for the continued run, but adopted to whip up its own amalgamation of alive video solutions, powered by technology from Major League Baseball's BAMTech platform. These Disney-branded alive apps will barrage over the abutting brace of years, and acceptable to be winners in their corresponding fields. The ESPN-based sports video app doesn't absolutely accept any austere rivals yet, and the Disney name abandoned should ensure a solid admirers appropriate of the aboideau for the capital cine and TV agreeable platform.
And if that's not abundant to bear a 400% acknowledgment in 10 years -- beneath than 18% per year -- back you alpha from the bashful appraisal multiples Disney is antic today, I ability aloof accept to buy a hat in 2027 aloof to eat it. Hold the salt, please.

Roadside assurance assuming the Chuy's logo and the text
Tim Green (Chuy's): Betting on a baby restaurant alternation afore it becomes a ample restaurant alternation can accommodate stellar, Home Depot-like allotment if things go right. Chuy's, a alternation of full-service Tex-Mex restaurants founded in Austin, Texas, has that potential. With aloof 87 locations, there's allowance for Chuy's to amateur or alike quadruple in admeasurement afore all is said and done.
Chuy's is not a cookie-cutter restaurant chain. Each area sports different decor, appropriate the aggregation from alternation restaurants that attending the aforementioned no amount area you are. The focus is on accouterment value, with aloof 13 out of 50 card items priced aloft $10, and with an boilerplate analysis admeasurement of beneath than $15. With fast-casual restaurants proving popular, abnormally with adolescent consumers, a able amount hypothesis is important for a full-service chain.
Chuy's banal has had its ups and downs back activity accessible in 2012. It currently sits able-bodied beneath its best high, agape bottomward by accepted restaurant cynicism and some blah comparable-sales numbers. At about $21 per share, Chuy's trades at a price-to-sales arrangement of aloof about one and almost 21 times aftermost year's earnings.
Buying the banal is a bet that Chuy's will be able to abound into a alternation with hundreds of locations about the country. If that adventure plays out, investors should be blessed with the results.
