Among 30 analysts covering the stock, 20 recommend a "Strong Buy," one indicates a "Moderate Buy," eight advise "Hold," and one suggests a "Strong Sell" rating [9]. The company has topped Wall Street's earnings estimates in each of the last four quarters [10].
In Q1, LOW's EPS was $2.92, outpacing the forecasted figure by 1.4%. Despite a 2% year-over-year decline in revenue to $20.9 billion, the figure topped the consensus estimates by a slight margin [11]. The company's cash flow from operations also declined by a notable 20.7% from the same period last year to $3.4 billion [12].
Looking ahead, analysts predict a profit of $4.25 per share for LOW in Q2 2025, up 3.7% from $4.10 per share in the year-ago quarter [13].
