About Lowe's
Lowe's is the second-largest home improvement retailer globally, with 1,761 stores in the US, after the 2023 divestiture of its Canadian locations. The firm's stores offer products and services for home decorating, maintenance, repair, and remodeling, with maintenance and repair accounting for two-thirds of products sold. Lowe's primarily targets retail do-it-yourself (more than 60% of sales) and do-it-for-me customers, but has expanded its professional business clients to more than 30% from less than 20% in the past seven years (set to expand further with growth of FBM locations). We estimate Lowe's captures a high-single-digit share of the domestic home improvement market, based on US Census data and management's market size estimates.

What the Analysts think about Lowe's

Analyst projections of the future price of Lowe's stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Pro, online and home-services sales grew in Q2, with online sales up 15.7%, helping to offset weaker DIY demand. This suggests Lowe’s digital and contractor-focused investments are producing growth even in a soft market. (Lowe's Companies, Inc.)
Adjusted EPS rose 1.6% to $4.40 in Q2, despite comparable sales growth of only 0.2%. The result points to some resilience in profit delivery while demand remains subdued. (Lowe's Companies, Inc.)
FBM and ADG give Lowe’s a route into larger professional and construction projects, with management targeting cross-selling through a broader interior-solutions offer. The strategy could widen its growth base beyond traditional home-improvement retail over time. (Investing.com)
Lowe’s cut its 2026 outlook to about $92 billion in sales and flat comparable sales, from a prior comparable-sales range of flat to 2% growth. The reset reflects a weak housing market and cautious consumer demand. (Bloomberg)
Underlying store traffic weakened: Q2 comparable transactions fell 2.1%, even as the average ticket rose 2.3%. Persistent DIY softness leaves Lowe’s exposed if customers keep postponing larger projects. (Lowe's Companies, Inc., Reuters)
Gross margin fell 77 basis points in the first half, with acquisition costs and higher fuel costs among the pressures; the Q2 tariff refund also may not recur. That leaves earnings more reliant on cost control while the new businesses are still being integrated. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)
