DA Davidson analyst Michael Baker lowered the firm’s price target on Lowe’s (LOW) to $236 from $257 but keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The company reported a “difficult” Q3 print with a guidance cut, though the stock held up “reasonably well” given what will end up being the worst annual comp since the 2008/09 housing crash, the analyst tells investors in a research note. This is likely due to operational improvement which is showing up in narrowing the margin gap with Home Depot (HD), and investors thinking about peaking rates and what that may mean for housing next year, the firm added.
