Over the past six months (April 2026 - October 2026), Lowe's stock has experienced a decline. As of October 2, 2026, the share price was $180.80, representing a 25.19% decrease from October 6, 2025. The stock's price decreased by 23.28% over the last 12 months and 10.10% in the past month as of October 6, 2026. On October 5, 2026, Lowe's shares fell to $179.14 USD, marking the lowest point since November 2022. This decline was partly attributed to surging Treasury yields and elevated mortgage rates, which pressured housing-linked retailers. In response, Evercore ISI cut its price target for Lowe's, and Gordon Haskett downgraded the stock to "hold" around October 7, 2026. Key corporate events during this period included Lowe's releasing its Q1 2027 earnings on May 20, 2026, and Q2 2027 earnings on August 19, 2026, during which CEO Marvin Ellison noted strong online sales growth of 15.7% driven by digital experience investments. The company had ex-dividend dates of $1.20 USD on April 22, 2026, and $1.25 USD on July 22, 2026. In May 2026, Lowe's introduced Material Lists, an AI-powered solution, and highlighted its AI assistant, Mylow, which has been shown to increase online customer conversion rates and improve associate satisfaction. On October 8, 2026, Lowe's announced its Holiday 2026 lineup, with Black Friday deals starting four weeks early on October 29, an announcement that led to a rally in Lowe's shares, and the company anticipates comparable sales for 2026 to be flat or increase by up to 2% year-over-year.
