Lowe's (LOW) reported earnings 30 days ago. What's next for the stock? We take a look at earnings estimates for some clues.

Home Depot (HD) stock is down about 24% over twelve months, while the S&P 500 returned about 19%. Most of that gets blamed on a frozen housing market, fair enough. The quieter risk sits inside the fiscal Q2 2026 results, which beat the company's own expectations: the growth is arriving in bigger baskets, and there are fewer of them.
