If you believe LOW can sustain its current margin profile while closing some of the profitability gap to URI, then hold or accumulate gradually because the stock trades below URI on P/E and P/S while remaining within its own historical trading band.
LOW trades at 19.2x P/E versus URI at 28.5x, and also at 1.5x P/S versus 4.3x for URI, indicating a clear valuation discount on both earnings and sales bases. The current price of $227.50 sits near the top of the historical band and well below URI-implied range, but it is materially above the DCF range.
