The Simple Reason Why I Won't Buy Lowe's Companies Inc. Stock
Lowe's (NYSE: LOW) has a lot going for it as an investment. The company is growing at a quicker pace than most retailers, thanks to its attractive position in the booming home-improvement industry. It's also a solid choice for income investors since it packs a longer streak of annual dividend hikes than Home Depot (NYSE: HD).
Still, I wouldn't be a buyer of Lowe's stock today simply because its operating and financial results are consistently -- and dramatically -- overshadowed by those of its chief rival.
