If you believe LOW deserves a materially higher multiple despite its slower 3.1% growth and weaker margin profile than PANW, then hold or add; otherwise, avoid using PANW's premium valuation to justify upside in LOW because PANW comparison is structurally inconsistent with the fundamentals and the DCF range is below the current price.
The implied price of $2577.82 versus LOW's current price of $227.50 suggests a huge 1033.1% upside, but this is driven by applying PANW's much higher P/E to LOW. That multiple gap is not a normal like-for-like valuation comparison because PANW trades on a growth-and-software premium while LOW is a mature retailer.
