Better Buy: Costco vs. Lowe's
Retailers Lowe's (NYSE: LOW) and Costco (NASDAQ: COST) are arguably as alike as they are different. Sure, the latter sells groceries and select other products in bulk in a membership club/warehouse environment, while the former sells home improvement solutions to any and all patrons. But both are consumer-centric retailers and both must impress prospective customers in a fiercely competitive environment.
For investors looking to put some of their cash to work, however, timing can be everything. One of these companies' stocks is overbought and overvalued, and the other is not only cheaper, but cheaper at a point when things are about to heat up for its target market.
