Comments:
The the home improvement retail industry tends to be very cyclical and relies on economic growth. However, LOW is a strong player with opportunities for growth both domestically and abroad. Aging homes and relatively high home ownership rates are powerful long-term demographic drivers that should help mitigate the continued weakness in residential construction. Consumers viewing their homes as investments will continue to spend money on home improvement projects. Risks include a sharp slowdown in the economy, a large rise in long term interest rates and the inability of LOW to execute its expansion strategy.
