Investors are about to get some fresh data about Lowe's (NYSE: LOW). The home improvement chain will announce its fiscal first-quarter update in May, about a week after rival Home Depot (NYSE: HD) reports its results. The announcement will answer key questions about customer traffic and market share trends, while featuring a potential change in Lowe's fiscal 2023 outlook.
Let's look at whether the stock is an attractive buy heading into that May 23 earnings update.
