Lowe's Loses Bull After Strong Run Since CEO Change -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-27

0950 ET - DA Davidson analysts think Lowe's has done about 85% of the heavy lifting they wanted to see after the home-improvement retailer got a new CEO in 2018. As the analysts hoped, the revamped leadership team has improved operations and margins relative to the company's best-in-class peers, they say in a research note. With the stock outperforming year-to-date and Lowe's valuation at its highest level since early in the pandemic, the analysts are moving to the sidelines. "We think shares are due a pause," the analysts say, downgrading the stock to a neutral rating while keeping the price target at $270. (dean.seal@wsj.com)
