About: Lowe's is the second-largest home improvement retailer in the world, operating 1,750 stores in the United States, after the 2023 divestiture of its Canadian locations (RONA, Lowe's Canada, Réno-Dépôt, and Dick's Lumber). The firm's stores offer products and services for home decorating, maintenance, repair, and remodeling, with maintenance and repair accounting for two thirds of products sold. Lowe's primarily targets retail do-it-yourself (around 70% of sales) and do-it-for-me customers, but has expanded its commercial and professional business clients to 30% from less than 20% in the past six years. We estimate Lowe's captures a high-single-digit share of the domestic home improvement market, based on US Census data and management's market size estimates.

3 To Watch Of 23 'Safer' July Dividends From 46 Fortune World's Most Admired Companies
I analyze the 50 Fortune World's Most Admired Companies, focusing on dividend-paying stocks and their yield-based investment potential. Three companies—Pfizer, BMW, and Singapore Airlines—currently meet my 'IDEAL' dividend criteria, with dividends from $1K invested exceeding their single share prices. They, however, are not 'safer.' Analyst estimates project 12.88% to 37.22% net gains for the top ten dividend-yielding Fortune WMA stocks by July 2026, with moderate risk.
