Home Depot vs. Lowe's: two analysts place their bets $HD $LOW (via TradingNation)
That trend of outperformance should continue, according to Nancy Tengler, chief investment officer at Laffer Tengler Investments.
"We own both but we own a lot more of Home Depot and the reason is twofold. First of all, they're best in class, they have the best locations, candidly the best management team, and they've been growing the dividend in the 20% range every year for the last five years," Tengler said Monday on CNBC's "
." "The free cash flow is healthy, well above dividend, and the online sales have been compelling at 20% or so."While Home Depot has outperformed Lowe's this year, it has had a slightly weaker run this quarter – it has risen 29% compared with a 37% gain for Lowe's. Ari Wald, head of technical analysis at Oppenheimer, said it should regain its lead.
"We do prefer Home Depot stock. It not only has a stronger long-term trend, but we see it as the more tactical idea here," Wald said in the same segment. "If you plot a ratio of the two stocks against each other, Home Depot has actually underperformed since mid-March, and is coming into support at its 200-day moving average, suggesting we're approaching a likely turning point in the ratio.
Home Depot hit an all-time high on Monday, surpassing its February peak. It is now 3% below that record.
