Lowe's (NYSE: LOW) is set to disclose its fiscal first-quarter earnings on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, with analysts anticipating earnings of $2.89 per share on revenue of $21.03 billion. This would indicate a 6% decrease in earnings year-over-year and a 2% decline in sales compared to the previous year's results of $3.06 per share and $21.36 billion in revenue. Historically, LOW stock has risen 55% of the time after earnings announcements, with a median one-day gain of 1.7% and a maximum recorded increase of 10%.
Lowe's is exposed to economic headwinds due to its business model. The company obtains a significant portion of its products from around the globe, with key supply chains in China, Canada, and Mexico. This global sourcing approach, along with its main customer base focused in North America, renders Lowe's susceptible to trade disruptions and tariffs. Product categories that are especially at risk include lumber, steel, aluminum, plumbing fixtures, and various tools and hardware. Moreover, the demand from do-it-yourself (DIY) customers, who account for approximately 70% of the company's sales, has weakened, as many have grown more reluctant to spend on home remodelings and upgrades. With a current market capitalization of $130 billion, the company reported $84 billion in revenue, $10 billion in operating profit, and $7 billion in net income over the last twelve months.

For event-driven traders, historical trends may provide an advantage, whether by positioning prior to earnings or reacting to movements after the release. That being said, if you are looking for upside with lower volatility compared to individual stocks, the Trefis High Quality portfolio offers an alternative, having outperformed the S&P 500 and produced returns exceeding 91% since its inception.

Here are some insights on one-day (1D) post-earnings returns:
Additional information on the observed 5-Day (5D), and 21-Day (21D) returns post earnings is summarized along with the statistics in the table below.
1D , 5D, 21D returns post earnings
A relatively less risky strategy (though not applicable if the correlation is weak) is to understand the correlation between short-term and medium-term returns after earnings, identify a pair that has the strongest correlation, and execute the corresponding trade. For instance, if the 1D and 5D show the strongest correlation, a trader can position themselves 'long' for the next 5 days if the 1D post-earnings return is positive. Here is some correlation data based on a 5-year and 3-year (more recent) history. Note that the correlation 1D_5D refers to the relationship between 1D post-earnings returns and the subsequent 5D returns.

At times, the performance of peers may impact the stock reaction post-earnings. In fact, the pricing-in might commence before the earnings announcement. Here is some historical data on the prior post-earnings performance of Lowe's Companies stock in comparison with the stock performance of peers that reported earnings just before Lowe's Companies. For a fair comparison, peer stock returns also represent post-earnings one-day (1D) returns.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made or as of the dates indicated in the statements and should not be relied upon as predictions of future events, as there can be no assurance that the events or circumstances reflected in these statements will be achieved or will occur or the timing thereof.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include, among other things: failure to obtain applicable regulatory approvals in a timely manner or otherwise; interloper risk; failure to satisfy other closing conditions to the transaction or to complete the transaction on anticipated terms and timing (or at all); negative effects of the announcement of the transaction on the ability of Shutterstock or Getty Images to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with customers, suppliers and others who Shutterstock or Getty Images does business, or on Shutterstock or Getty Images' operating results and business generally; risks that the businesses will not be integrated successfully or that the combined company will not realize expected benefits, cost savings, accretion, synergies and/or growth, as expected (or at all), or that such benefits may take longer to realize or may be more costly to achieve than expected; the risk that disruptions from the transaction will harm business plans and operations; risks relating to unanticipated costs of integration; significant transaction and/or integration costs, or difficulties in connection with the transaction and/or unknown or inestimable liabilities; restrictions during the pendency of the transaction that may impact the ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; potential litigation associated with the transaction; the potential impact of the announcement or consummation of the transaction on Getty Images', Shutterstock's or the combined company's relationships with suppliers, customers, employers and regulators; demand for the combined company's products; potential changes in the Getty Images stock price that could negatively impact the value of the consideration offered to the Shutterstock stockholders; the occurrence of any event that could give rise to the termination of the proposed transaction; and Getty Images' ability to complete any refinancing of its debt or new debt financing on a timely basis, on favorable terms or at all. A more fulsome discussion of the risks related to the proposed transaction is included in the information statement and proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC by Shutterstock and Getty Images in connection with the proposed transaction.
