LOW vs. HD Checked back recently with profit taking. He's not worried. Prefers HD, with its long runway for the foreseeable future, longer reach, good treatment of employees, good growth opportunities in Mexico and other places. Fix-it market is reeling a bit because of commodity prices. HD is better managed.
Lowes vs. Home Depot in the reopening There's still room to run for both. Contractors have a ton of work and a shortage of supplies. Both have risen over 20% in the past 6 months. Home Depot trades at a slightly higher valuation, but is worth it and she prefers HD.

He believes in the CEO as he turns around the company. It's been difficult, but is moving in the right direction. Once he executes his vision, Lowe's will rival Home Depot in profits and growth.

Home Depot vs. Lowes He's come close to buying HD in the past. It pays a 2.1% yield vs. Lowes' 1.3%, and HD boasts better metrics elsewhere.

They currently have an effective business plan to reduce costs and close their profitablility gap with Home Depot. Also, they are driving volume to their website, and making more attractive their offerings to professional builders and renovators. The neighbourhoods they service are seeing the most robust economic performance, which is a big change. Historically, Home Depot used to benefit from its exposure to big cities, which has suffered from recent lockdowns. Therefore, Lowes offers better upside than Home Depot given store locations. (Analysts’ price target is $181.44)
