Adjusted diluted EPS came in at $1.98, missing the $2.07 consensus estimate by 4.35%, while revenue of $20.58 billion edged past the $20.35 billion expectation and climbed 10.9% year-over-year, with a meaningful lift from the recently completed acquisitions of Foundation Building Materials and Artisan Design Group. Comparable sales grew 1.3%, supported by strength in Pro, online, and home services channels, though adjusted operating margin contracted to 9.02% from 9.43% a year earlier, reflecting integration pressures and $149 million in pre-tax acquisition-related expenses. For fiscal 2026, Lowe's guided total sales of $92 billion to $94 billion and adjusted diluted EPS of $12.25 to $12.75, while flagging continued uncertainty in the housing market, a headwind that has weighed broadly on home improvement retailers navigating persistently high mortgage rates.
