Lowe's 10-Q

Filing excerpt

For the second quarter of 2026, gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased 77 basis points compared to 2025. The gross margin decline for the quarter was driven by the operational cost structure of acquisitions during 2025 and increased fuel costs, partially offset by favorability from credit revenue and tariff refunds.
