| BUY | 27.740 | Steven Conville | Doesn't think you can go wrong with either Lowe's (LOW-N) or Home Depot (HD-N) as a momentum play in the next 6 to 12 months. Would like to see a better US economy before calling either a core hold in for a long-term hold. Use a 10%-15% stoploss. | 2010-05-03 | |
| HOLD | 24.290 | Gordon Reid | One of the 2 senior home improvement companies. He prefers Home Depot (HD-N) because it has slightly better metrics. Bigger wholesale business, which is higher-margin. This company will participate in the resurgence once the housing market starts again. | 2010-03-10 | |
| DON'T BUY | 20.550 | Brian Acker, CA | Model price of Lowes $24.17. Better than Home Depot. Everyone should have a sell strategy for everything. | 2009-04-21 | |
| TOP PICK | 25.650 | Alan Kral , CFA, CIC | This is a bit of a speculation as housing prices have dropped, which has wreaked havoc with the new home building industry. It has also stopped transactions in existing homes. Thinks people will be doing home improvements. Also thinks the housing market will come back. | 2008-09-09 | |
| Comment | 24.600 | Charles Bobrinskoy | He prefers this company to Home Depot (HD-N). | 2008-08-27 | |
| TOP PICK | 24.860 | Paul Larson | Negative same-store sales. Just reported earnings and year-over-year they are off only a couple of pennies. Will be earning roughly $1.50 a share this year. | 2008-08-22 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 21.240 | Brian Acker, CA | (A Top Pick July 27/07. Down 22%.) Consumer discretionary has been a very hard-hit area. Still in his top 10. | 2008-08-06 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 22.850 | Brian Acker, CA | (A Top Pick July 27/07. Down 22%.) The model price is $33.43, a 43% positive differential. Expect it will stay around the current price until there is some easing in the economy. | 2008-06-11 | |
| BUY | 25.020 | Paul Harris, CFA | Q: Would you buy Lowe's (LOW-N) or Home Depot (HD-N)? A: Lowe’s is a much better run company and you should look to buy it at these levels. Thinks the housing sector will recover, if not through new homes, through renovation, which they make a lot of money on. | 2008-04-24 | |
| TOP PICK | 24.200 | Alan Kral , CFA, CIC | A little more speculative in that the US is into about 6 quarters of the housing slowdown and has showed up in their earnings, but the company is still substantially profitable. Looking for the housing sector to stop dropping this year. | 2008-04-15 | |
| TOP PICK | 21.790 | Brian Acker, CA | His model price is $36.40, a 68% positive differential. It has recession, quasi depression priced into the stock. Could have been talking about Home Depot (HD-N) just as well. | 2008-01-17 | |
| BUY | 22.860 | Brian Acker, CA | (Market Call Minute.) Loves this one. The model price is $38.59, a 59% positive differential. | 2007-12-20 | |
| TOP PICK | 27.770 | Brian Acker, CA | He has a model price of $42.93, a 51% positive differential. There is a lot of value here. | 2007-07-27 | |
| BUY | 29.860 | Pat Naccarato | Anything relating to housing has been impacted. Believes that when the recovery happens in housing, stock is significantly undervalued. Likes this better than Home Depot (HD-N). | 2007-07-17 | |
| TOP PICK | 31.720 | Brian Acker, CA | 32% positive differential Hit because of the consumer. Biggest risk is a recession. They are in at 31.39 | 2007-06-07 | |
| BUY | 28.500 | Brian Acker, CA | A mispriced asset and very cheap. | 2006-08-02 | |
| BUY | 64.710 | David Baskin | The whole home improvement sector has been under pressure because of worries that the housing boom is going to implode. Resale homes are at record levels so doesn't think the renovation trend has come to an end. The stock has probably been oversold. | 2006-01-19 | |
| TOP PICK | 53.540 | Thomas Galvin | Hurricane has created needs as well as people investing more in their houses. | 2004-09-17 | |
| TOP PICK | 51.510 | Gretchen Lash | Trading at about 17 X earnings. A 17/18% grower.Expects accelerated earnings growth next year. | 2004-07-09 | |
