Lowe's Dividend ? Slowing or Growing?
In the home improvement space, there are two huge chains that dominate the industry, Lowe's (NYSE: LOW) and Home Depot (NYSE: HD). Lowe's stock was being beaten down just a few months ago and the stock sold off, as the company announced its intentions to return more money to shareholders through dividends. The reaction was negative because investors assumed that if dividends were being pumped up that growth had slowed down. This naturally begs the question, how much can Lowe's pay in dividends, and is this growth slowing down or speeding up?
