That compared with a 2.7% drop that Wall Street analysts were expecting.\nHigh interest rates have weighed on home improvement spending as US consumers continue to postpone buying houses and put off expensive projects that may require financing.

The stock rose about 22% this year through Monday’s close, while the S&P 500 index increased 24%.\nStill, the company raised its sales forecast for the year, buoyed during the quarter by high-single-digit positive comps in the professional business — serving contractors and others working on larger projects — strong online sales and spending on smaller-ticket outdoor projects, Chief Executive Officer Marvin Ellison said in a statement. \nResults were “modestly better than expected, even excluding storm-related activity,” Ellison said. \nThe company said it now expects comparable sales to drop as much as 3.5%, versus the previous guidance of a 3.5% to 4% decline. That’s slightly better than what Wall Street analysts were expecting.\nDespite stubbornly high mortgage rates, and housing demand that has not shifted, people are buying smaller-ticket items. Home Depot said last week that hurricanes and warm weather helped drive up demand for products like generators and outdoor grills.  \nLowe’s reported its quarterly results ahead of the holiday shopping season’s all-important Black Friday weekend. Operators are facing budget-conscious consumers as well as a shopping period that is shorter than usual because Thanksgiving falls late in November.  \n--With assistance from Julia Fanzeres.\n(Updates share trading, recasts first paragraph.)\n©2024 Bloomberg L.P.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"-1","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.3","shortVersion":"4.29.3","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2484940588"}
