Last earnings call, Aug 19, 2026 AI summary
- What they said
- Lowe's Q2 2026 delivered $26 billion in sales with comparable sales growth of 0.2%, marking 5 consecutive quarters of positive comps. Online sales surged 15.7%, driven by AI tool Mylow and digital investments. Pro and Home Services segments showed continued growth, partially offsetting soft DIY discretionary demand. FBM and ADG acquisitions are progressing, targeting larger Pro customers.
- Guidance
- Management reaffirmed fiscal 2026 expectations despite macro headwinds including elevated fuel costs, tariff impacts, and weak DIY discretionary spend. Near-term outlook remains cautious given economic uncertainty, though long-term home improvement fundamentals are described as intact.
