Portfolio Pulse from Priya Nigam
JPMorgan analyst Christopher Horvers upgraded Lowe's Companies Inc (NYSE:LOW) from Neutral to Overweight and raised the price target from $210 to $265, citing a potential rebound in the home improvement sector and the company's strong position in appliances. Despite a recent 2.3% drop in share price, Lowe's is added to JPMorgan's Analyst Focus List as a Value stock idea. The expected Federal Reserve rate cuts could further spur growth, although the rebound may be partly muted by the locked-in mortgage rate dynamic.
