Lowe’s (LOW) Q4 2025 earnings

Lowe’s The retailer’s quarterly sales rose more than 10% from last year, beating Wall Street’s quarterly revenue and earnings expectations on Wednesday.

The home improvement company said it expects total sales for the entire current fiscal year to range between $92 billion and $94 billion, which would be an increase of about 7% to 9% from the previous year. It said it expects adjusted earnings per share to be between $12.25 and $12.75 for the full year. Lowe’s said it expects comparable sales, a measure that excludes one-time factors, to remain steady at about 2%.

In a press release, CEO Marvin Ellison said the company’s strategy is resonating with do-it-yourself shoppers and home professionals even as high mortgage rates and slowing real estate sales challenge the industry.

“While the housing macro remains under pressure, we are focused on steering what is under our control, which includes our ongoing productivity initiatives,” he said. “We are confident that we are well positioned to gain share regardless of the macro environment.”
