Lowe's will take share regardless of macro conditions
Lowe's reported a strong Q4 2025 with positive comps, driven by pro, online, and services, but issued a cautiously neutral 2026 outlook due to continued housing market pressure. While management highlighted market share gains and operational execution, they guided for a wide range of outcomes for the year, reflecting uncertainty about rate cuts, tariff policy, and big-ticket consumer spending. Q4 sales of $20.6B grew 1.3% y/y, with positive comps in pro, online (+10.5%), and home services (high-single-digit).
