Despite a more than 65 percent rise in Home Depot's stock during the past year, one analyst says the home improvement retailer's valuation does not concern him.

"I will agree that the valuation looks expensive if you look at a historical multiple," said Peter Keith, a senior research analyst at Piper Jaffray. "But if you're looking back at the past five years, you're looking at a very depressed housing market, and so I don't think that's a really relevant valuation characteristic."
Keith told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" that he has an "overweight" rating and a $70 price target on the company's shares.
