Lowe's Companies stock price 2027–2031: scenariosHow are the stock price scenarios calculated? Bear, base and bull prices for the years ahead: the analysts' EPS estimates times the lowest, average and highest P/E of the stock today and at its last five year ends, or of its peers.
If Lowe's Companies's earnings keep growing at the 4.6% a year analysts expect to FY2029, it would earn about 15.39 a share in FY2031. At the P/E it has traded at over the last five years (16.1 to 22.5) that is 247.33 to 346.16 a share, or 304.76 at its average P/E of 19.8. This is arithmetic on the analysts' estimates, not a prediction.
| Fiscal year | EPS | Bear | Base | Bull |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2027 | 12.28 | 197.47 | 243.32 | 276.38 |
| FY2028 | 12.92 | 207.66 | 255.87 | 290.63 |
| FY2029 | 14.06 | 226.08 | 278.57 | 316.41 |
| FY2030 (extrapolated) | 14.71 | 236.47 | 291.37 | 330.95 |
| FY2031 (extrapolated) | 15.39 | 247.33 | 304.76 | 346.16 |
Each year's EPS is the analysts' consensus to FY2029; the years after grow 4.6% a year (the analysts' growth, at most 15%). Bear, base and bull apply the lowest, average and highest P/E of today and the last five fiscal year ends, leaving out any above 60, the mark of a year of collapsed earnings (16.1, 19.8, 22.5).
Is Lowe's Companies stock undervalued or overvalued?How does Arincen work out a stock's fair value? Fair value is our estimate of a share's price at the P/E the company usually trades at, with a low to high range around it.
Lowe's Companies's P/E of 19.0 is around the middle of its 5-year range (13.9 to 25.9, median 18.8). It is in line with its own history. Buyers pay more for each point of growth than usual: a PEG of 6.5 on expected growth against 2.1 on its median P/E and past five years' growth. At its usual P/E (18.8 × EPS of 11.84), Lowe's Companies's fair value is 223.08, close to the price of 224.73. Its forward P/E, on the consensus for FY2027, is 18.3.
Fair value is the usual (median) P/E of the last five years times the earnings per share of the last twelve months; the ends of the bar are the same earnings at its lowest and highest P/E of those years (13.9 and 25.9). The price against its P/E range
