LOWES COMPANIES INC (LOW) reported solid top-line growth but flat earnings for the quarter ended July 31, 2026. Net sales rose 8.3% to $25.96 billion, with comparable sales up 0.2%, driven by a 2.3% increase in average ticket that offset a 2.1% decline in customer transactions. Nine of 13 product categories grew, led by Rough Plumbing, Electrical, and Tools & Hardware, supported by strength in Pro, online, and Home Services. The recently acquired FBM and ADG businesses contributed meaningfully to overall sales, including $1.94 billion from the Other segment this quarter.
Despite higher sales, profitability compressed. Gross margin fell 77 bps to 33.04%, and operating margin declined 81 bps to 13.67%, reflecting the cost structure and amortization from acquisitions and higher fuel costs, partially offset by credit revenues and about $80 million of tariff refunds. Net earnings were essentially flat at $2.40 billion, with diluted EPS unchanged at $4.27, while adjusted diluted EPS improved modestly to $4.40.
For the first six months of 2026, net sales increased 9.2% to $49.03 billion, but net earnings dipped slightly to $4.03 billion and net margin declined to 8.21%. Cash from operations was strong at $7.01 billion, funding $1.06 billion of capital expenditures, $1.35 billion in dividends, and $366 million of share repurchases while repaying $2.40 billion of debt. Long-term debt stood at $35.20 billion, with investment-grade ratings and $5.0 billion of undrawn revolving credit capacity. Return on invested capital was a robust but lower 25.5% versus 29.5% a year earlier. A $12.5 million EPA-related civil penalty and new consent decree were finalized but are small relative to overall results.
LOWES COMPANIES INC (LOW) reported solid second-quarter 2026 results with some margin pressure and slightly softer full‑year guidance. For the quarter ended July 31, 2026, net sales were $26.0 billion versus $24.0 billion a year ago, and net earnings were $2.4 billion. Diluted EPS was $4.27, flat year over year, while adjusted diluted EPS rose 1.6% to $4.40, helped by a $0.11 benefit from IEEPA tariff refunds and offset by $96 million of pre‑tax acquisition‑related amortization.
Comparable sales grew 0.2%, driven by Pro and home services and a 15.7% increase in online sales, with ongoing pressure in discretionary DIY categories. Operating margin was 13.67%, down from 14.48% last year. Lowe’s operated 1,761 stores totaling 196.0 million square feet and generated $7.0 billion of operating cash flow in the first half. The company returned $673 million in dividends during the quarter and now guides fiscal 2026 total sales to $92.0 billion, flat comparable sales, operating margin of 11.2%, and adjusted diluted EPS of about $12.25, all at the low end of prior ranges.
