It now forecasts $97 billion to $98 billion in sales on $13.65 to $13.80 of adjusted per-share earnings. In comparison, analysts had called for $96.9 billion and $13.53, respectively. On CNBC’s "Squawk Box", CEO Marvin Ellison said:
Average U.S. home is roughly 40 years old and when homes get older, there are things to fix. Two-thirds of what we sell is non-discretionary. If your roof is leaking or an appliance breaks down, you can’t choose to ignore it.
Lowe’s recently launched a costly Maytag Washer to deal with pet hairs and the strong demand for that expensive product, the chief executive added, is a testimony that the consumer is not trading down.
Although economic times are challenging, we still have roughly $1.20 trillion in excess savings versus pre-pandemic. You hear that people are trading down; that’s not happening in our space. Overall, we see customers trading up.
Lowe’s Companies Inc had a strong Halloween and the Christmas trends were keeping resilient as well, he added.
