How Lowe’s Is Competing With Home Depot
The American home is undergoing a makeover during the Covid-19 pandemic, and home improvement giant Lowe’s is reaping the benefits from it.
Since the start of the pandemic, Lowe’s has five straight quarters of double-digit revenue growth on a quarter-over-quarter basis. The company’s bottom line has also gotten a boost. On Aug. 18, the company reported a second-quarter profit of $3.02 billion, or $4.25 per share. That’s up 6.7% on a year-over-year basis from $2.83 billion.
“More so than anytime in our life the home is being reimagined,” Lowe’s CEO Marvin Ellison said September 15, 2020. “The home is multi-purpose more so than ever, it’s a work-from-home space, it’s a homeschooling space and its a predominant space for entertainment and recreation.”
But with consumer discretionary spending shifting toward entertainment and travel as Covid restrictions ease, will Lowe’s and rival Home Depot be able to maintain their momentum? And what happens to the do-it-yourself home improvement market once the pandemic subsides?
Watch the video to find out what’s next for Lowe’s.

Lowe’s supports black face, they support stolen valor also. if Lowe’s had a baby it would single handily legalize abortions…. Post pregnancy… Lowe’s will bend you over and spit in your face. Shop at home depo…

I remember when I was a kid Lowe's Hardware in Boone, NC used to sell Super Nintendo Video games for variable prices behind locked glass cases near the front of the store. My mom and dad don't remember but I do. Yoshi's Cookie was selling for at least $40. .

I live in Benton Harbor, Michigan and we have both Lowe's and Home Depot. Now if you were to ask me which one my family shops the most, for trash bags, we go to Home Depot. For most everything else, we're a Lowe's family. Tools, appliances, etc. Just last week I've picked up four packs of lawn bags from LOWE'S!!!

The best thing they can do is to hire skilled tradesmen from the union AND handymen, to be the material buyers do that who skilled workers and do it yourselfers go there, you actually can find what you're looking for instead of a refrigerator full of food that you can't make a meal out of. Hire more diverse, I mean physical diversity not just the same ethnicities with some of them homosexuals, because you can feel discomfort the moment you enter if you look different and in tired of trying to focus on what I'm trying to build and every Lowe's the workers stare and watch making it hard to think.

Even though I have to drive past an HD to get to Lowes, it's worth it. HD has terrible people running it. I think one of its founders is almost 100 yrs old. He'll be in hell soon.

Lowe's is an older company and use to have a higher store count and sales. It is incorrect to represent Lowes as the underdog

Anti-American big box stores like Lowe's and Home Depot are violating their employee's constitutional and human rights by forcing them to be injected with these new unsafe ineffective experimental drugs or they will fire them. #MyBodyMyChoice

Lowe’s is the worse store and now that Home Depot has the military program, bye bye Lowe’s.
