If you believe LOW can sustain its current margin profile and avoid a meaningful multiple compression, then hold or add exposure because LOW’s profitability and balance sheet quality are far superior to WBA’s despite trading near the upper end of its historical range.
LOW is priced as a quality retailer rather than a deep value stock: its 17.9x P/E and 1.4x P/S are supported by positive earnings, while WBA has no usable earnings multiple because net income is negative. LOW’s current price of $212.06 sits within its historical band of $190.85 to $233.27, but materially above the DCF range of $102.60 to $138.81.
