Stifel analyst W. Andrew Carter has raised Lowe's (LOW) price target to $265 from $240, maintaining a Hold rating ahead of the company's earnings report scheduled for this week. Carter attributes the upward revision to the easing of rate excitement, which has driven outperformance in Lowe's shares over the past month. This outperformance has pushed relative valuation back to levels that more appropriately value the company's medium-term prospects and long-term advantages, according to the analyst [1].Carter's assessment comes amidst mixed Q2 trends, but the analyst believes that the current conditions favor Lowe's stock. The price target increase reflects a positive outlook on Lowe's financial performance and its position in the market. However, the Hold rating indicates a cautious stance, suggesting that while the analyst sees potential for growth, there are also risks to consider.
The earnings report will be closely watched by investors and analysts alike, as it will provide insights into Lowe's performance for the second quarter of 2025. The company's ability to meet or exceed analyst expectations will be crucial in determining the stock's future trajectory.
In the past three months, Lowe's has received a mixed analyst rating, with 14 Buy Ratings, 8 Hold Ratings, and 0 Sell Ratings. The average analyst price target for Lowe's is $261.24, with a high forecast of $305.00 and a low forecast of $207.00 [2]. This diversity in analyst opinions underscores the importance of the upcoming earnings report in shaping investor sentiment.
