Lowe's slashes sales forecast amid declining home improvement spending

Lowe's has lowered its full-year sales outlook after experiencing a nearly 13% decline in fiscal third-quarter sales. The company now expects sales to total around $86 billion for the year, down from its previous range of $87 billion to $89 billion. Comparable sales are projected to drop by about 5%, worse than the previously anticipated decline of 2% to 4%. CEO Marvin Ellison attributed the decline to a "greater-than-expected pullback" by customers on discretionary projects and big-ticket purchases. However, sales to home professionals, which account for 25% of Lowe's business, increased during the quarter. Lowe's competitor, Home Depot, also reported a decline in sales but beat Wall Street's expectations.

Home Depot surpasses expectations despite declining sales and earnings

Home Depot reported Q3 earnings that beat estimates, with sales down 3.10% YoY but higher than expected. Foot traffic dropped 2.4%, and the average ticket decreased less than expected. The company attributed the decline in earnings to customers opting for smaller projects and pressure in certain big-ticket categories. Home Depot's shares rose 1% in pre-market trading. For the full fiscal year, the company narrowed its guidance range, expecting a sales drop of 3% to 4% and adjusted earnings per share to decrease 9% to 11% YoY.
