Lowe's Companies Inc. is currently being assessed in comparison to Home Depot, with varying opinions emerging from industry experts. One expert notes that Lowe's stock is down 11%, compared to Home Depot, which remains stable, indicating a potential lack of integration with newly acquired properties. However, there are optimistic views around Lowe's focus on DIY home renovations, especially given the current dip in new home sales. Another perspective highlights Lowe's advantageous position in attracting both professional contractors and consumers, suggesting that this diverse customer base may lead to stronger performance compared to Home Depot, which leans more toward professional users.

Negative same-store sales. Just reported earnings and year-over-year they are off only a couple of pennies. Will be earning roughly $1.50 a share this year.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 27/07. Down 22%.) Consumer discretionary has been a very hard-hit area. Still in his top 10.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 27/07. Down 22%.) The model price is $33.43, a 43% positive differential. Expect it will stay around the current price until there is some easing in the economy.

BUY

Q: Would you buy Lowe's (LOW-N) or Home Depot (HD-N)? A: Lowe’s is a much better run company and you should look to buy it at these levels. Thinks the housing sector will recover, if not through new homes, through renovation, which they make a lot of money on.

TOP PICK

A little more speculative in that the US is into about 6 quarters of the housing slowdown and has showed up in their earnings, but the company is still substantially profitable. Looking for the housing sector to stop dropping this year.

TOP PICK

His model price is $36.40, a 68% positive differential. It has recession, quasi depression priced into the stock. Could have been talking about Home Depot (HD-N) just as well.

He has a model price of $42.93, a 51% positive differential. There is a lot of value here.

BUY

Anything relating to housing has been impacted. Believes that when the recovery happens in housing, stock is significantly undervalued. Likes this better than Home Depot (HD-N).

TOP PICK

32% positive differential Hit because of the consumer. Biggest risk is a recession. They are in at 31.39

BUY

A mispriced asset and very cheap.

BUY

The whole home improvement sector has been under pressure because of worries that the housing boom is going to implode. Resale homes are at record levels so doesn't think the renovation trend has come to an end. The stock has probably been oversold.

TOP PICK

Hurricane has created needs as well as people investing more in their houses.

TOP PICK

Trading at about 17 X earnings. A 17/18% grower.Expects accelerated earnings growth next year.

BUY

Should do well in a housing upswing.
