I do like LOW over HD today.
Over the last decade:
LOW has produced 19.12% annualized total returns vs. 17.87% for HD.
LOW has grown EPS by 18.99% vs. 14.39% for HD.
LOW currently trades at a 13.9 PE vs. 17.9 for HD and has a payout ratio of 30.4% vs. 52.9%.
Its lower valuation and lower payout ratio also allow it to have a more effective share buyback program.
LOW has reduced its share count by 40.5% over the ten years compared with 28.3% for HD.
Yes, Home Depot has the better yield, but unless you are needing that income to live on, Lowe's wins on most other metrics.
