Lowe's is one of several retailers that has seen sales boost as Americans have more time to do yard work, craft projects and redecorate homes during the pandemic . But the company warned that the strong pace could cool in the coming year .
The company said same-store sales could fall as much as 3% or remain roughly the same in fiscal 2022 compared with this year . However, Chief Executive Officer Marvin Ellison said his company could continue to drive growth by launching private-label brands, attracting more home professionals and making its e-commerce business faster and more efficient.
Same-store sales for the coming year will total between $94 billion and $97 billion, though that's below analysts' estimates.
According to foreign media reports, the company 's stock price has risen by about 60% this year , mainly due to strong demand for consumer housing regardless of peak or off-season. The retailer's market value now reaches US$173.52 billion.
Chief Financial Officer Dave Denton said the retailer expects its sales to outpace those of its competitors and volumes to continue to grow , but he also said the company is preparing for a modest industry pullback in 2022.
He also said the company can continue to drive growth by launching new private-label brands, expanding its e-commerce business and creating a one-stop shop to help seniors age at home , which are measures that will help its sales performance.
Meanwhile , the company will benefit from a favorable backdrop , including more money in consumers’ savings accounts, historically low interest rates, rising home values and an aging U.S. housing inventory, he said. About two-thirds of the company’s sales come from repairs and maintenance, he said.
It is understood that the company plans to repurchase about $12 billion of shares this year and next year . Lowe's Home Improvement |
