barrons3	Buy - Price 21.47 on Nov. 13 by Jefferies & Co. Our 26 target is based on the shares' selling at about 20 times our fiscal-year 2011 EPS estimate of $1.30. This compares to [a] historical three- and five-year P/E of 15.06 times and 15.37 times, respectively...We continue to build in an early-cycle multiple premium [for the home-improvement retailer], as we believe the market will be willing to assign a premium on depressed earnings as long as housing trends continue to show signs of improvement. Risks include: potential for renewed deterioration in housing, competitive promotions, softer-than-expected new-store productivity, potential declines in vendor support if unit volumes remain soft, and continued expense deleverag[ing] on soft sales. Market cap: $31.8 billion.	Love	November 14, 2009

barrons3	In every single case I can spin every single piece of data negative. There are no pure positives. Target (TGT), Wal-Mart (WMT) and Kohl's (KSS) say back to school is good? A whole host of little ones say it is bad. Home Depot (HD) says things are getting better but Sears (SHLD) and Lowe's (LOW) can't say that.	Love	August 27, 2009
barrons3	Another headline warned that Home Depot (HD), a stock which Cramer owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, and Lowe's (LOW) were also feeling the pinch. "But that's false," said Cramer, given that Home Depot raised its guidance Tuesday and is clearly outperforming Lowe's.	Love	August 20, 2009

barrons3	But Home Depot (HD), Lowe's (LOW) and Sears (SHLD) have turned, and there's some strength being shown in the companion restaurant group -- Darden (DRI) and Yum! Brands (YUM) -- so maybe we are seeing the beginning of the gasoline rally!	Love	July 16, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	Cramer said we're seeing what he calls a "gasoline rally" in stocks such as Darden (DRI), Coach (COH), Tiffany (TIF), Sears (SHLD), Lowe's (LOW) and Yum! Brands (YUM). "This is all the same trade that we saw when gasoline broke from $4 down to $2 last year," he said. "It's happening again." <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10543002/1/cramers-stop-trading-gasoline-rally.html" target="_blank">Read more here.</a>	Love	July 15, 2009

Stockpickr Staff	"I think that Lowes has fallen down here. I think that Home Depot (HD) is soaring and has dividend protection to boot." <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10518985/1/mad-money-lightning-round-no-on-dryships.html" target="_blank">"Mad Money Lightning Round," 6-17-09</a>	Love	June 18, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	"I think it's way too late to swap into those plays, although I like Home Depot, which is only up 5% for the year, and Lowe's (LOW), which is down 7% (I own HD for Action Alerts PLUS.)" <a href="http://jimcramer.rmblogs.thestreet.com/entry.aspx?q=6c8123e4-7f05-4364-8622-9c2900a26c15" target="_blank">"Retail Is a Microcosm of the Broad Market," 6-15-09</a>	Love	June 16, 2009

Stockpickr Staff	"Let's wait until we see the whites of the eyes of Lowes (LOW) and Home Depot (HD) -- Monday and Tuesday's business -- to get our direction. Either is far more important to the future of this market than anything I saw today."

barrons3	Take the housing group. Ever since Masco (MAS) went up on that bad report it's been all net for this group: Whirlpool (WHR), Fortune Brands (FO) and Lowes (LOW) all broke out today.	Love	April 30, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	Industrials are another safe bet, said Cramer. He likes Emerson (EMR), another Action Alerts Plus name, in that group. In the housing sector, Cramer said to stay away from home builders and pick up retailers like Home Depot (HD Quote), an Action Alerts Plus stock, or Lowes (LOW) as a play on the housing bottom.

barrons3	The answer is that there are substantive programs and a lowering of interest rates that are going to produce a better housing market -- hence why people are buying the Housing Sector Index (HGX) and Home Depot (HD) and Lowe's (LOW) and, yes, the most hated company on earth, Sears Holdings (SHLD). It simply can't be as bad as last year.	Love	December 04, 2008
barrons3	You see the thesis developing. Mortgage rates are coming down, gasoline is plummeting in price, heating oil and natural gas prices are cascading, refinances are soaring. You put it all together, and you think to yourself, here comes the bottom in the Retail HOLDRs (RTH), here's the bottom in Macy's (M) and Kohl's (KSS) and Home Depot (HD) and Lowe's (LOW).	Love	December 04, 2008
barrons3	He mentioned that Lowe's(LOW) has traded up from $17 per share to over $20 per share, after home construction data showed new construction spending was down 19%. Najarian is long (MGM) Calls, (LOW) Calls, (AFL) Calls. In other words he's betting these three stocks are going to go higher.	Love	November 05, 2008

sarah z	From a recent Mad Money show: "I think Lowes is almost a buy. It's taking share from a lot of stores. I'm two points from pulling the trigger."	Love	September 30, 2008
barrons3	I would trade Lowe's (LOW) and Home Depot (HD) because of a possibility of a housing resurgence next year tied to all the moves the government is now making. Remember, at their heart, the government's efforts are aimed at stemming home price depreciation. I think a 25% decline in home prices around the country will bring out buyers, provided mortgages are available. Only people who can afford afford a house will be able to buy one, and that means 30% down. That's good!	Love	September 25, 2008
