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.
Likes the home improvement space. All the vacation money has gone into the home. He prefers Home Depot. Their numbers looks better than Lowes'. He owns neither. Post-covid, he thinks the trend will continue.

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. Key point it that scale matters in this business, and the 3x bigger HD enjoys a size advantage and has a wider moat (can get better pricing and service from suppliers). He picks HD.

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)

She would consider buying both. LOW-N brought in a new management team with a lot of self-help initiatives to closed the gap, but HD-N has also been very strong and both are a home-run in the area. The recession just keeps getting pushed out
Expectations for results on Wednesday are low. Selling lots of lumber products and lumber prices being down means they get less revenue. He owns HD-N. LOW-N has been a turnaround and catch-up story. They have done a good job so far.
This looks great, just like Home Depot. You can enter it here, though hold it if you own.

(Past Top Pick April 17, 2018, Up 15%) Them and Home Depot occupy half the home improvement market. Secular tailwinds are attractive. Handyman skills are declining among consumers, so Lowe's business of sending contractors to houses is growing (and buying supplies for these projects from Lowes). Big share buybacks and heavy free cash flow. Good balance sheet. If there's an economic downturn, yes, their business will get hit, but Lowes will sustain this rough patch.

There's a growing transition to do-it-for-me as society ages. so their in-house contracting business is growing and--guess what--they'll buy Lowe's products. Lowe's has been a little behind Home Depot in growth, but Lowe's is cheaper with more upside with lots of free cash flow. (Analysts' price target $105.86)

(A Top Pick Oct 13/16, Up 24%) HD-N is the number one player. He thinks if there is room for improvement here then he would go into this one. It does not have the premium valuation of HD-N.
They have strong management and good cash flows. The price has come down but she does not recommended adding it. It will be challenging next year. We need to see a lot more new housing construction. It will do well and at least keep up with the market, however.
(Market Call Minute.) He is very interested in looking at this as millennials are starting to move out of their parents’ houses. This could be a big beneficiary.
It is incredible how well they have done, second to HD-T. So far Amazon cannot do anything to kill them. The stuff they sell is heavy to ship. They have done a great job of returning capital to shareholders, but he has other ideas.
Home Depot (HD-N) or Lowe’s (LOW-N)? Home Depot is about 3 to 4 times the size of this company’s, and their store count dwarfs them. Home Depot is down about 6%-7% this year where Lowe’s is having a better time of it. However, going back 5 years, Home Depot has been a better, smoother experience. This is a tough call, but knows that Home Depot’s footprint is a bit higher.

Home Depot (HD-N) or Lowe’s (LOW-N)? On a purely statistical basis and EPS growth, this one is the better one. However, standing back and looking at the corporate culture and corporate philosophy, he prefers Home Depot.
New US home starts are strong, and most States have growth of around 10% year-over-year, but the stocks are not behaving. He would prefer to see this group get engaged before putting new money here. Also, would prefer Home Depot (HD-N), which is better at driving market share.
This one is coming on and improving their operations. They expanded their presence in Canada by buying Rona. They are in Canada, Mexico and the US. As millennials move out of parents’ basements, this stock should do well.
Just sold his Home Depot (HD-N) holdings, which is a wonderful company with a great web presence. It is growing home-store sales without opening any new stores. However, it is too expensive. Lowes is a sister company and is following up a little. Has a decent dividend, but with a little more dependence on selling appliances. Just because it is a good asset doesn’t mean it is a good investment.

This is a play on the US housing recovery. Trades at a discount to Home Depot (HD-N). Really well-run company.
Lumber producers, oriented strand board producers and insulation producers had marvellous runs earlier this year as did this one and Home Depot (HD-T). Temporarily he believes there is some short-term weakness in housing. There will be 1,500,000 housing starts in the next 2-3 years. This is an area he wants to be in at some point.
