LOW: Bull or Bear?
With Lowe's, $20 could be the low stock price for 2010

Filed under: Lowe's Cos (LOW), Stocks to Buy  Lowe's (LOW) stock has meandered since the September 16, 2009 Buy rating at $21.60 per share, but I'm nevertheless reiterating my buy rating. Here's why:
Lowe's has now posted three straight less-worse-than-expected quarterly earning performances, and the view from here argues that both home improvement revenue, and more broadly, U.S. home sales (new and existing) have bottomed, providing an adequate tailwind for the stock. Further, any higher-than-expected store traffic in 2010 will be a bonus. The First Call FY2009/FY2010 EPS estimates for LOW <>ar...

This is not to make light of those that are struggling to find employment, or trying to rebuild their retirement portfolios -- this is a brutal economy indeed.
The most important thing, though, is that the stock market has improved recently, "bear rally" or not, because it has allowed investors to see that the market can ...

With Lowe's price falling below $16, it seems the only way to go is back up, eventually. With homeowners putting off renovations in favor of paying their mortgages, consumers have not been knocking down the doors of the home improvement chain. But with optimism from the stimulus package being passed and hopefully a bottom to the housing market in sight, reinvigorated stocks may be on the rise again. The only question is how long it may take.

seeing that the lowes stock followed the Pre-RE boom and filling the empty RE houses the over all building plies, but the bulk building materials will not have the profits like they once did. I am not talking sales of lawn care & suplYes you could buy in for the holiday season as purchases may bump up but have an outlook to decline to the pre-RE boom. It might be good to get on this once they get close to the pre-RE boom, then if demand for new homes to be built goes up, but I don't think that demand will be as great as it once was. <> However once the RE sector is fixed and the...

4/28 - "In the latest quarter ending Feb. 1, earnings fell to $408 million, or 28 cents per share, from $613 million, or 40 cents per share, in the year-ago period. Sales dropped to $10.38 billion from $10.41 billion. For the year, net income declined to $2.81 billion, or $1.86 per share, from $3.1 billion, or $1.99 per share. The 6% annual EPS drop was far better than the 15% drop at Home Depot...When one considers what has happened to housing, these results are actually oustanding."

Walked into a Lowe's the other day, and was frightened by the sheer unattractiveness of the store to a consumer. I realized later that the store wasn't organized for consumers, but for contractors-- to find doors, shutters, fiberglass, tile, etc... <> Newsflash for those in denial: anything related to housing is going to get utterly destroyed. This scenario will play out similar to the internet bubble collapse of 2000-2002. Yes, PurchasePro and Transmeta and WebVan will all go down 99%, but MSFT, CSCO, and INTC will also suffer massive stock drops close to, and more than, 75% of <>...
