Lowe's (LOW) Looks Good: Stock Adds 5.8% in Session

3M (MMM) Rewards Shareholders With Dividend & Share Buyback
3M's (MMM) rewards to shareholders, including quarterly dividend payment and repurchase of shares worth $10 billion, are in compliance with its sound capital-allocation strategies.

Lowe's Companies, Inc. LOW was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise more than 5% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $96.83 to $101.16 in the past one-month time frame.

The move came after the company reported solid second-quarter fiscal 2018 results.

The company has seen a mixed track record when it comes to estimate revisions of two increases and two decreases over the past month, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has remained unchanged. The recent price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.

Lowe's currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), while its Earnings ESP is positive.

Last year, it generated $8 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $47 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
