Lowe's Companies, Inc. (NYSE:LOW)

ditto

The housing bust won't affect the company as much as the market is counting on.

I've decided I don't care if the short term performance of this stock lowers my CAPS score. They're hardly struggling even if they have taken a bit of a hit in revenue. I also like their buybacks.

One of these days, the housing crunch will be over and people will start decorating again. Long term outperform. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

Good growth plan and poor performing competition make Lowes a good long term investment.

good

The home construction business has lowered the stock price greatly, The company is still solid and the sale price is just to good.

With interest rates coming down and the busy season starting first quarter next year I see the price around 30 by summer.

Gonna beat up on Home Depot this year.

Can we say refurbish!!

A great company at a great price for patient investors.

Lowe's will continue to suffer from the housing crunch.

With rate cuts coming this stock will be pushed to 30 before it make drop..Good buy at 25 with a cut days away it might only be 25 points this time but it that doesnt help 50 or more is well on its way.. Then this is at 30

Home improvement retailers are consistantly on the upside for the long term as every home owner needs to do some type of work on their property.

Lowes is a bargain right now. Due to the housing crunch it's suffered a little and the price is great now. It has solid Return on Capital of around 15%. Growth rates of Sales, EPS, Equity, and free cash are all good at or above 15%. Solid growth prospects. I personally like shopping at Lowes much better than Home Depot. It's cleaner, better organized and has better help. Sticker is $44.65. Look for a nice bounce once we're out of this housing mess.

Have you compared Lowes to Home Depot lately. Much better layout, better management, employee knowledge is better, and just go take a look at the wood cutting stations. No question who will lead this market in the future.

Once housing comes back, the home improvement stores will flourish. It only takes time.

Good growth and earnings.

A strong, well managed company out of favor due to housing problems. I own this stock, and will buy more as it approaches bottom.

Once the housing crisis mellows out, this stock will take off. A strong brand, great management, and a pristine balance sheet and earnings growth should leave them in a great long term position. However, LOW is not for the weak of heart short term!!
