Graphic_arrow1 Via Long Investment Ideas from Seeking Alpha:  

Linked here is a PDF copy of my analysis of Lowe's Companies, Inc. (LOW) (alt.1, alt.2). Below are some highlights from the above linked analysis:

Company Description: Lowe's Companies, Inc. and its subsidiaries operate as a home improvement retailer in the United States and Canada. The company offers a range of products and services for home decoration, maintenance, repair, remodeling, and property maintenance.

Fair Value: I consider four calculations of fair value, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:

  1. Avg. High Yield Price
  2. 20-Year DCF Price
  3. Avg. P/E Price
  4. Graham Number
LOW is trading at a discount to all four of the metrics above. If I exclude the high and low valuation, and average the remaining two valuations, LOW is trading at an astounding 41.4% discount. A Star is added since LOW is trading at a fair value.
