WAIT

LOW vs. HD Not sure you want to own either right now. For example, HD fell markedly yesterday with the inflation print. Don't add here. Go for names that benefit from higher rates.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly This dividend Aristocrat trades at 16x earnings compared to peers at 33x. It has increased dividends for 48 consecutive years and boasts a payout ratio under 35% of cash flow. An aging home inventory suggests future home improvement demand should be sustained, even during a market down turn. We recommend a stop loss at $172, looking to achieve $238 -- upside potential over 21%. Yield 2.11% (Analysts’ price target is $237.53)

TOP PICK

Trading off on fear that Fed will extinguish economic expansion. Very well managed. Increased guidance. Increasing margins steadily. Operating margins grew from 10% to almost 14%, and have a ways to go. Outperforming HD. Yield is 1.61%. (Analysts’ price target is $275.08)

Don't fear a shutdown, but a slowdown due to the new Omicron variant. Don't fear a shutdown, but a slowdown due to the new Omicron variant. Lowes as well as Home Depot and Tractor Supply reported good earnings. The group will benefit from a slowdown. Lowes was slow to run up vs. these peers, and is still cheaper than HD

BUY

They've followed the HD playbook. Strong organic growth. Grew revenues 33% over the last 2 years, amazing for a large company. Multiple at 21x is less than HD. Good value for a fast-growing enterprise. Right in the bullseye of spending, for individuals and for pros.

BUY on WEAKNESS

If HD gets hit again when it reports Tuesday, it'll likely pressure Lowe's, which is the time to pounce on this. Lowe's is the better operator due to the CEO's incredible turnaround. They report Wednesday, and he expects them to report a strong quarter and upbeat holiday forecast.

BUY

Question about Home Depot He owned this from the late-1990s till 2020 and did a 10-bagger. He sold it not because of the dividend, but a comparison against Lowe's. HD's success largely was a result of organic growth and operating efficiencies. In the past decade, their operating margins moved from 11% to 16.5% vs. Lowe's in a similar, but slower rate. So, he'd rather capture what will come, so he switched to Lowe's.
