Lowe's Sees Bigger Sales Increase Than Rival Home Depot

Lowe's Sees Bigger Sales Increase Than Rival Home Depot

Lowe's (NYSE: LOW) efforts to increase sales, pump up digital, and become a serious threat to Home Depot's (NYSE: HD) hold on the top spot in home improvement are paying off in a big way as the COVID-19 pandemic sent shoppers to town in the home improvement area. Home Depot's comps increased 6.4% with U.S. comps rising 7.5% during the same period. As an essential business, Lowe's has been allowed to keep its stores open, but digital became more important as people stayed at home.
