History of Lowe's Pro

  • Founded: 2014
  • Founders: Lowe's Companies, Inc.

Lowe's served contractors informally for decades, but the dedicated Pro strategy accelerated after Marvin Ellison became CEO in 2018, when the company invested in Pro-focused store staffing, dedicated Pro desks, jobsite delivery, and Pro private-label assortments. The program aimed to close the share gap with Home Depot's dominant Pro business.

The strategy shifted decisively in 2025 with the $8.8 billion acquisition of Foundation Building Materials, a major distributor serving large residential and commercial professionals, plus the prior Artisan Design Group acquisition. These moves added specialized distribution, dedicated delivery fleets, and pro-grade product lines beyond store shelves, giving Lowe's a distribution and services infrastructure for large professional customers rather than only store-based support.

About Lowe's Companies, Inc.

Lowe's reported FY2025 sales of $86.3 billion for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2026, with positive comparable sales of 0.2%. Net earnings were $6.65 billion, or $11.85 per diluted share. Adjusted diluted earnings per share reached $12.28, up 2.4% year-over-year. Operating margin was 11.8%, and adjusted operating margin was 12.1%. The company generated $7.7 billion in free cash flow and returned $2.6 billion in dividends to shareholders.

In Q4 2025, Lowe's reported sales of $20.6 billion, up from $18.6 billion in the prior-year quarter, with comparable sales growth of 1.3%. Q4 net earnings were $1.0 billion, or $1.78 per diluted share. The quarter included $149 million in pre-tax expenses related to the Foundation Building Materials and Artisan Design Group acquisitions. Adjusted Q4 diluted EPS was $1.98, up 2.6% year-over-year.

For FY2026, Lowe's provided outlook for total sales of $92.0 to $94.0 billion, representing approximately 7% to 9% growth, with comparable sales expected to be flat to up 2%. The company guided adjusted diluted EPS of $12.25 to $12.75 and capital expenditures of approximately $2.5 billion.
