Lowe's buying Foundation Building Materials for about $8.8B as it intensifies focus on pro builders
Lowe's is buying Foundation Building Materials, a distributor of drywall, insulation and other products, for approximately $8.8 billion as the home improvement retailer intensifies its focus on professional builders. FBM also provides metal framing, ceiling systems, commercial doors and hardware and other products that serve large residential and commercial professionals in both new construction and repair and remodel applications. It has more than 370 locations in the United States and Canada serving 40,000 professional customers. The acquisition is part of Lowe's move to provide more options for professional builders. The Mooresville, North Carolina-based company recently closed on its $1.3 billion acquisition of Artisan Design Group, a provider of design, distribution and installation services for interior surface finishes, including flooring, cabinets and countertops, to home builders and property managers. Rival Home Depot has been making similar moves. In June the home improvement retailer announced that it was buying specialty building products distributor GMS for $4.3 billion. GMS Inc. of Tucker, Georgia, is a distributor of specialty building products like drywall, steel framing and other supplies used in both residential and commercial projects. Home Depot's acquisition of GMS came after it purchased SRS Distribution, a materials provider for professionals, last year for more than $18 billion including debt. SRS provides materials for professionals like roofers, landscapers and pool contractors. Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData, said that the professional builder market provides a growth opportunity to both Home Depot and Lowe's as there's a lot of spending in the segment. 'Pro is basically the new battleground for home improvement,' he said. 'Naturally, with two big giants in the arena, there are likely to be some bruising battles ahead. However, at this stage, we believe the market is big enough and fragmented enough to allow both players to extract some wins.' Lowe's deal for FBM is expected to close in the fourth quarter. Aside from the acquisition, Lowe's reported its fiscal second-quarter financial results on Wednesday. The company posted an adjusted profit of $4.33 per share, which topped the $4.23 per share that analysts polled by Zacks Investment Research expected. Revenue totaled $23.96 billion in the period, which met Wall Street's expectations. Lowe's raised its full-year sales outlook to a range of $84.5 billion to $85.5 billion. It previous predicted sales would be between $83.5 billion and $84.5 billion for the year.

Target picks an insider to lead the struggling company when CEO Brian Cornell steps down next year
NEW YORK (AP) — Target is counting on a company veteran to revive its magic as it struggles to compete with rivals like Walmart. The Minneapolis-based retailer said Wednesday that Chief Operating Officer Michael Fiddelke, who has been with Target for 20 years, will become CEO Feb. 1. He succeeds Brian Cornell, who helped reenergize the company when he took the helm in 2014 but has struggled to turn around weak sales in a more competitive retail landscape since the COVID pandemic. Fiddelke has overhauled Target's supply network and expanded the company's stores and digital services while cutting costs. In May, the company announced that he would lead a new office focused on faster decision-making to help accelerate sales growth. Fiddelke is taking over at time when Target's sales are in a funk, its stores are messy and understocked, and it's losing market share to rivals. He said he's stepping into the role with three urgent priorities: reclaiming the company's merchandising authority; improving the shopping experience by making sure shelves are consistently stocked and stores are clean; and investing in technology at the company's stores and in its supply network. 'When we're leading with swagger in our merchandising authority, when we have swagger in our marketing, and we're setting the trend for retail, those are some of the moments I think that Target has been at its highest in my 20 years,' he said. The change in leadership was announced Wednesday at the same time that Target reported another quarter of sluggish results. The announcement surprised some analysts who expected Target to pick an outsider to turn things around. Neil Saunders, a managing director at GlobalData Retail, said he had mixed feelings. 'While we think Fiddelke is talented and has a somewhat different take on things compared to current CEO Brian Cornell, this is an internal appointment that does not necessarily remedy the problems of entrenched groupthink and the inward-looking mindset that have plagued Target for years,' he said. Target reported a 21% drop in net income in the quarter ended Aug. 2. Sales were down slightly and the company reported a 1.9% dip in comparable sales — those from established physical stores and online channels. Target has seen flat or declining comparable sales in eight out of the past 10 quarters including the latest period. Target, which has about 1,980 U.S. stores, has been the focus of consumer boycotts since late January, when it joined rival Walmart and a number of other prominent American brands in scaling back corporate diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. Target's sales also have languished as customers defect to Walmart and off-price department store chains like TJ Maxx in search of lower prices. But many analysts think Target is stumbling because consumers no longer consider it the place to go for affordable but stylish products, a niche that long ago earned the retailer the jokingly posh nickname 'Tarzhay.' In fact, out of 35 merchandise categories that Target tracks, it gained or maintained market share in only 14 during the first half of the company's fiscal year, Fiddelke said. Meanwhile, Walmart gained market share among households with incomes over $100,000 as U.S. inflation caused consumer prices to rise rapidly. Lower-income shoppers have driven customer growth at Target, suggesting it may have lost appeal with wealthier customers, according to market research firm Consumer Edge. 'It's probably not the best sign, especially because higher-income consumers continue to hold up a little bit better' during times of economic uncertainty, said Consumer Edge Head of Insights Michael Gunther. In March, members of Target's executive team told investors they planned to regain the chain's reputation for selling stylish goods at budget prices by expanding Target's lineup of store label brands and shortening the time it took to get new items from the idea stage to store shelves. The moves would help the company stay close to trends, executives said. 'In a world where we operate today, our guests are looking for Tarzhay,' Cornell told investors. 'Consumers coined that term decades ago to define how we elevate the everything everyday to something special, how we had unexpected fun in the shopping that would be otherwise routine.' Before joining Target in 2014, Cornell, 66, spent more than 30 years in leadership positions at retail and consumer-product companies, including as chief marketing officer at Safeway Inc. and CEO at Michaels, Walmart's Sam's Club and PepsiCo America Foods. In September 2022, the board extended his contract for three more years and eliminated a policy requiring its chief executives to retire at age 65. When Fiddelke takes over, Cornell will transition to be executive chair of the board. When he got to Target, the company was facing a different set of challenges. Cornell replaced former CEO Gregg Steinhafel, who stepped down nearly five months after Target disclosed a huge data breach in which hackers stole millions of customers' credit- and debit-card records. The theft badly damaged the chain's reputation and profits. Cornell reenergized sales by having his team rev up Target's store brands. It now has 40 private label brands in its portfolio. And even before the pandemic, Cornell spearheaded the company's mission to transform its stores into delivery hubs to cut down on costs and speed up deliveries. Target's 2017 acquisition of Shipt helped bolster the discounter's same-day, store-based fulfillment services. Cornell also focused on making its stores better tailored to the local community The coronavirus pandemic delivered outsized sales for Target as well as its peers as people stayed home and bought pajamas, furnishings and kitchen items. And it continued to see a surge in sales as shoppers emerged from their homes and went to stores. But the spending sprees eventually subsided. As inflation started to spike, Target reported a 52% drop in profits during its 2022 first quarter compared with a year earlier. Purchases of big TVs and appliances that Americans loaded up on during the pandemic faded, leaving the retailer with excess inventory that had to be sold off. In July 2023, as shoppers feeling pinched by inflation curtailed their spending, Target said its comparable sales declined for the first time in six years. Moreover, Target started losing its edge as an authority on style by focusing too much on home furnishings basics, and not enough trendy items, Fiddelke said. A customer backlash over the annual line of LGBTQ+ Pride merchandise Target stores carried that year further cut into sales. Although Walmart retreated from its diversity initiatives first, Target has been the focus of more concerted consumer boycotts. Organizers have said they viewed Target's action as a greater betrayal because the company previously had held itself out as a champion of inclusion.
