How to check this claim
Look at: Lowe's comparable sales growth vs. home improvement market growth (market share performance), fiscal year 2026
It came true if: Lowe's comparable sales growth (or revenue growth) > estimated home improvement industry/market growth rate for FY2026, as characterized by management commentary or comparable peer performance (e.g., Home Depot US comps)
Where: Company quarterly earnings releases and management commentary on Q4 FY2026 call, compared with peer/industry data (e.g., Home Depot comparable sales, US Census retail sales for building materials)
In context
“e the obvious, that this is a pretty unique environment with unpredictable tariffs, high interest rates, and a consumer demand that is not as sustained as we would like it on the DIY side. We feel really good about our plan for spring. We feel great about our plan for 2026, and part of that is the fact that we have the best in-stock that we've had in my tenure here going into spring. We have the best garden strategy that we've had in my tenure here going into spring. We have a lot of things working in our favor, not to mention that we have, you know, 30 million and growing members of our MyLowe's Rewards loyalty program that gives us a unique opportunity to message to those members. We are optimistic, but we're also cautiously optimistic just because there's lots of uncertainty out there. But we are very confident that whatever the macro environment provides, we will outperform the macro. We will take share. We took share in the fourth quarter. We took share in the third quarter. We'll take share in 2026. Operator: Our next question is from the line of Kate McShane with Goldman Sachs. Katharine McShane: We wanted to drill down on the comment that you'll be investing in sales, driving initiatives for the cost-cautious customer in 2026. What could that look like? Are you looking at price investment, promotion, some combination of both? How does that compare to how you managed through that in 2025? Marvin Ellison: Kate, this is Marvin. Thank you for the question. Kate, there's really no major change coming to our strategy relative to price or promotion. We manage price on a portfolio basis in this really volatile tariff environment. We'll continue to do that. We will be very specific on what we call tier one promotional events. You know, think the launch of spring, you know, think Labor Day,”
