Alternative ways to invest in Lowe's Companies

Via a fund

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Lowe's Companies), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

Lowe's Companies is a major part of the NYSE, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is Lowe's Companies under- or over-valued?

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Lowe's Companies P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

Lowe's Companies's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 21x. In other words, Lowe's Companies's shares trade at around 21x recent earnings.

That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of November 09, 2023 (20.44).

Lowe's Companies's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.9176. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Lowe's Companies's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Lowe's Companies's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $12.4 billion (£9.4 billion).

The EBITDA is a measure of Lowe's Companies's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Frequently asked questions

Dividend yield: 1.85% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 1.85% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 37.11% of net profits

Lowe's Companies has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 1.85% of its share value annually.

Lowe's Companies has paid out, on average, around 37.11% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.85% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 1.85% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Lowe's Companies's case, that would currently equate to about 4.45 per share.

While Lowe's Companies's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that it may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Lowe's Companies's most recent dividend payout was on 6 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 23 July 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Lowe's Companies's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 2 July 2006. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Lowe's Companies shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Lowe's Companies shares which in turn could have impacted Lowe's Companies's share price.
