Lowe’s on Wednesday reported mixed quarterly results as the home improvement retailer said it saw “pressure” in spending on projects. Though the company did not cut its full-year guidance, it updated its outlook to the bottom end of its prior guidance. It now expects total sales of $92 billion, compared with $92 billion to $94 billion previously, and comparable sales to be flat, versus flat to up 2%. It expects adjusted earnings per share for the year of $12.25, versus $12.25 to $12.75 previously. For the quarter ended July 31, Lowe’s reported net income of $2.4 billion, or $4.27 per share, roughly the same as the year-ago period. Excluding one-time factors and including tariff refund benefits, the company reported adjusted earnings of $4.40 per share. Lowe’s also said tariff refunds provided an 11-cent boost to its earnings per share this quarter. The company reported total sales of $25.96 billion for the quarter, up from $23.96 billion the year prior. Comparable sales rose 0.2%, due in part to strong performance in its pro and home services sales, according to Lowe’s.
