Lowe's Same Store Sales Sequentially Worse
This morning, Lowe's reported same-store sales declined 7.6% for the quarter.
But sequentially sales are even worse.
From the Lowe's conference call:
Same Store sales fell 4% in November (YoY)
Same store sales fell 9% in December
Same store sales fell 11% in January
CEO Niblock said he was "a bit surprised" by the weakness.
