Lowe's (LOW) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Lowe's (LOW) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Lowe's Companies has demonstrated a positive financial trajectory, with an adjusted operating margin increase of 23 basis points to 14.7%, indicating improved efficiency in operations. The company reported a total sales increase of 1.6% to $24.0 billion, alongside a forecasted sales growth of 4.3% year-over-year, driven by strong inventory management and demand trends. Furthermore, with projected annualized spending on home improvement expected to rise from $510 billion to $516 billion over the coming quarters and a notable uptick in home values since 2019, Lowe's is well-positioned to capitalize on these favorable market conditions.
Bears say
Lowe's Companies is facing a challenging outlook with comp sales anticipated to be flat to +1.0% for 2025, indicating limited growth potential amid a generally stagnant home improvement market. The firm reported a decrease in adjusted EPS for 2Q, reflecting a 5.6% decline and signaling potential weaknesses in revenue generation, while gross margins are expected to remain flat as cost pressures from supply chain investments balance out. Additionally, the overall market dynamics, evidenced by negative year-over-year sales trends in related retail categories, suggest that Lowe's core business may struggle to achieve meaningful growth in the near future.
