Lowe’s (NYSE: LOW) stock, a home improvement retailer, has declined by almost 10% over the last five trading days and currently stands at around $160. The market probably reacted downward to the company’s mixed fourth-quarter results and disappointing guidance. While the retailer’s fourth-quarter adjusted earnings came in 3 cents higher than the estimates, its revenues were $100 million below the expectations. In addition, Lowe’s comparable sales for the quarter were up 2.5% year-over-year, short of the 3.5% expectation. It should be noted that the broader S&P 500 returned roughly a 2% fall over the last five days. Now, is LOW stock poised to fall further? We believe that the company’s stock is still undervalued at about 17x consensus 2021 earnings and that the stock could grow going forward. There is a strong chance of a rise in LOW’s stock over the next month (twenty-one trading days) based on our machine learning analysis of trends in the stock price over the last five years.

While Lowe’s stock has moved downward post the Q4 release, 2020 has created many pricing discontinuities which can offer attractive trading opportunities. For example, you’ll be surprised how the stock valuation for Lowe’s vs D.R. Horton shows a disconnect with their relative operational growth. You can find many such discontinuous pairs here.
