BUY

Trades at a lower multiple than HD. Increased operating margins from 11% to 16%, pro business is expanding. Applying HD playbook very successfully.

HOLD

He just sold Home Depot and holds a small position in this. The difference is that Lowes is growing its professionals segment, which is up 10% the past quarter.

BUY

It reports Wednesday, and the street is bearish. But he likes LOW, because it's already declined from Home Depot's last quarter and he expects the CEO is tell a positive forecast.

BUY
Growth companies have traded off. Highly tied to housing and renovations, needs a healthy consumer. Likes the space. LOW catching up to profitability and efficiency of HD, operating margins have gone up 60% in last 8-10 years, stole HD playbook. Better opportunity, less risk, growth is as good as HD.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate this home improvement retailer as a TOP PICK. Recently reported earnings beat expectations as cash reserves grew, while shares were aggressively bought back. It trades at 20x earnings, compared to peers at 35x. It pays a good dividend, that has grown for over 60 consecutive years, that is backed by a payout ratio under 30% of cash flow. We recommend trailing up the stop-loss (from $180) to $187, looking to achieve $238 -- over 17% upside potential. Yield 4.2% (Analysts’ price target is $237.28)

BUY
Surprised that they sold the Canadian division, and they took a big markdown, but remember that was a small piece of their business. They're increasing margins from 10-15%, so he bought them. Management is doing the right things. Highly profitable. The CEO used to be a senior exec at Home Depot and is following their playbook. LOW has become very efficient.

TOP PICK
Couldn't get traction in Canada, pulling out. US side is in great shape. Margins have expanded. Doing better than HD. Yield is 2.24%. (Analysts’ price target is $237.88)
misc industrial products
HOLD
She's long both names, but their margins are getting squeezed. It's not an ideal place to be now. The backdrop are rising mortgage and interest rates. Mortgage rates just hit 7%.
misc industrial products
BUY
Lowes trades at a discount in terms of PE, while Home Depot is at a slight premium. He likes Lowes for their commitment to digital-commerce and customer loyalty.

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.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 18/21, Up 8%) It's well-managed. They're expanding margins. In this sector, transactions were down, but profits were up, because the average price is up. In this case, inflation can be your friend. He expects good things tomorrow when they report.
