Have you ever wondered how Home Depot and Lowe’s, two of the biggest home improvement retailers in the US, have performed over the years? Well, I’ve got the answer. I came across a fascinating chart that compares the market capitalization of these two giants over the past 25 years, from 2000 to 2025.
What struck me was how closely their market caps have mirrored each other, with some interesting deviations. Home Depot has generally led the way, but Lowe’s has had its moments of outperformance. I’d love to know what you think – do you think this is due to differences in their business strategies or something else entirely?
