Lowe's Cuts 2026 Outlook as DIY Pressure Tests Its Growth Engines
Lowe's beat Q2 earnings expectations with $4.40 EPS but missed revenue forecasts and significantly lowered fiscal 2026 guidance to flat comparable sales and $12.25 EPS. While Pro, Online, and Home Services segments showed strength with 15.7% online sales growth, weak DIY demand, housing pressures, and margin headwinds from fuel, transportation, and competitive pricing drove the cautious outlook reset.
1 Number That Makes Lowe's Stock an Obvious Buy Before Aug. 19
Lowe's stock is trading at a discount with a forward P/E ratio of 17.4, the lowest since end of 2023, making it attractive ahead of Q2 earnings on Aug. 19. The company recently increased its dividend to $1.25 per share (2.28% yield), marking 55 consecutive years of dividend increases as a Dividend King. With five straight earnings beats and expected revenue growth of 13% quarter-over-quarter, investors should monitor comparable-store sales targets and online sales momentum.
1 Reason Lowe's May Be a Smarter Buy Than Home Depot Before Aug. 19
Both Lowe's and Home Depot have underperformed the market due to macroeconomic headwinds including elevated interest rates and inflation. However, Lowe's presents a better buying opportunity as it trades at a 26% valuation discount to Home Depot (forward P/E of 16.5 vs 22.3), despite demonstrating faster earnings growth from fiscal 2020-2025 and comparable future growth expectations.
