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.

Latest news related to Lowe's Companies Inc. and LOW stock.
Stifel analyst W. Andrew Carter downgrades Lowe's Companies (NYSE:LOW) from Hold to Sell and lowers the price target from $195 to $190.
Lowe's stock declined 1.7% on November 12, 2026, underperforming the S&P 500's 0.35% loss. Despite a 22.99% year-to-date gain, the company faces headwinds with projected Q3 earnings expected to decline 6.54% year-over-year when reported on November 18, 2026. Lowe's holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) rating with a Forward P/E of 18.89, trading in line with industry averages.
Home Depot shares rallied 19.5% in the past month, outperforming the market and industry peers. While Q2 sales grew 5.7% to $47.9B with strong Pro business and 11% digital growth, the stock's 22.3X forward P/E valuation is elevated relative to historical averages and competitors. Downward EPS revisions and persistent housing market weakness suggest investors should wait for a better entry point, though existing shareholders should remain invested.
Home equity borrowing jumped 14% to $481 billion, the fastest pace since the financial crisis. Jefferies sees Home Depot and Lowe's as winners.
Lowe's is poised to beat Q3 earnings expectations with a +0.59% Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank #3, despite an anticipated 6.5% EPS decline. The company is expected to benefit from Pro business momentum, digital expansion, and merchandising initiatives, but faces headwinds from weak DIY demand, housing market challenges, and elevated operating costs. The stock trades at a valuation discount to peers but has recently rallied significantly.
