Home Depot Earnings Top Views, Unveils Buyback [CNBC]

Dear CNBC: Headlines, like sentences, usually have subjects and verbs and objects. Here the subject is "Earnings," not "Home Depot." While you can use earnings to buy things, such as stock, it's Home Depot management and not the line on the financial statement about earnings doing the unveiling. One possible solution: Make it "Tops Earnings Views," etc.
