Vance Quonta D Sell
EVP, Pro & Home Services
10,369 shares
$2,670,382
@ $257.54
Significance 5/10

EVP Vance Quonta D sold 10.4K LOW shares at $257.54 on 2026-03-04 for $2.7M; stock down 11.4% from 52-week high.

Vance Quonta D, EVP of Pro & Home Services, sold 10,369 shares of Lowe's at $257.54, reducing his holdings by 32.4% from 32,019 to 21,650 shares. The sale occurred as LOW trades 11.4% below its 52-week high of $287.39 and 7.3% below its 30-day average, following a broader pullback in the stock. His prior sale at this ticker on 2024-11-27 posted a 90-day return of -11.6%, suggesting a pattern of selling into weakness; however, this single precedent offers limited predictive power. The company's -3.1% annual revenue growth and P/E of 21.09 provide context for a mature consumer discretionary business, but do not directly explain the timing or magnitude of this specific transaction.

Ellison Marvin R Sell
Chairman, President & CEO
18,000 shares
$4,701,100
@ $261.17
Significance 6/10

LOW CEO Ellison sells 18,000 shares across 3 transactions for $4.7M at $261.17 avg; stock +9.5% in 30d.

Marvin R Ellison (Chairman, President & CEO) executed 3 separate sales totaling 18,000 shares for $4,701,100.41 at a blended average price of $261.17, reducing holdings from 249,043 to 231,043 shares (-7.2%). The timing context shows Lowe's stock has appreciated +9.5% over 30 days and +12.5% over 90 days, currently trading at $270.89 and near its 52-week high ($273.02). Notably, Ellison's prior 5 sales at Lowe's all demonstrated negative 90-day returns (range -15.9% to -17.3%), establishing a 100% well-timed pattern at this ticker—indicating a consistent ability to sell before subsequent declines. This latest filing, execution at the blended price of $261.17 ahead of the current price of $270.89, follows the established pattern but occurs after substantial recent gains; the relatively modest share reduction (-7.2%) against $20.8B in quarterly revenue and the CEO's substantial remaining holdings (231.0K shares) suggests neither panic nor material conviction shift.

Simkins Lawrence Buy
1,000 shares
$231,063
@ $231.06
Significance 4/10

Director Simkins Lawrence doubles LOW holdings with $231.1K purchase at $231.06; stock down 8.0% in 90 days.

Simkins Lawrence purchased 1,000 shares of Lowe's at $231.06 on 2025-11-24, doubling his shareholding to 2,000 shares total. The buy occurred when LOW was trading -13.5% from its 52-week high of $275.32, and the stock has declined 8.0% over the prior 90 days and -1.9% over 30 days. His prior purchase at this ticker (2024-12-20) also saw the stock decline 7.8% in the subsequent 90 days, establishing a pattern where his buys at LOW have not preceded rallies. The company's fundamentals show revenue of $23,959,000,000.00 with annual growth of -3.1%, indicating a contracting top line, while the P/E of 19.47 positions the stock in line with historical norms despite operational headwinds.

McFarland Joseph Michael Sell
EVP, Stores
43,810 shares
$11,942,440
@ $272.60
Significance 7/10

EVP McFarland sells 43.8K shares at $272.60 avg for $11.9M, reducing stake by 39.7%

Joseph Michael McFarland, EVP of Stores, executed 2 separate sales totaling 43,810 shares for $11,942,439.67 at a blended average price of $272.60, reducing his holdings from 110,376 shares to 66,566 shares—a 39.7% reduction in position size. The sale occurred near the 52-week high (current price $271.83 is -4.3% from the $284.05 peak), and across his prior LOW transactions, McFarland's 2 previous sells have proven well-timed at the 90-day mark (2024-10-03 showing -3.2% / -8.8%, and 2023-08-28 showing -7.0% / -10.5%), establishing a pattern of selling ahead of subsequent declines at this ticker. This large, multi-tranche disposition of nearly 40% of holdings merits attention given the established timing pattern and the company's recent operational headwind (annual revenue growth of -3.1% and net income of $2.4B on $24.0B revenue).

Sink Brandon J Sell
EVP, Chief Financial Officer
8,192 shares
$2,200,199
@ $268.58
Significance 4/10

CFO Sink sells 8,192 LOW shares at $268.58 (Sept 5); holdings drop 28.8%; cross-ticker history shows 100% well-timed sell rate

Brandon J Sink, EVP and Chief Financial Officer, sold 8,192 shares of Lowe's at $268.58 on September 5, reducing his holdings by 28.8% to 20,269 shares post-transaction. His cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior open-market sell with a 90-day well-timed rate of 100%, and at LOW specifically, his prior March 2024 sale declined 9.3% over 90 days. The stock has appreciated 13.2% over 30 days and 21.4% over 90 days from the transaction date, and currently trades at $273.02, near its 52-week high of $284.05. Investors should note this represents a material reduction in the CFO's stake; the pattern of prior well-timed exits at this ticker merits monitoring against future price action and quarterly performance given the company's recent -3.1% annual revenue decline.

Ellison Marvin R Sell
Chairman, President & CEO
40,000 shares
$10,564,071
@ $264.10
Significance 6/10

Lowe's CEO Ellison sells 40,000 shares for $10.6M across 6 transactions at $260.96–$266.63

On 2025-08-20, Ellison Marvin R, Chairman, President & CEO of Lowe's Companies Inc, executed 6 separate sales totaling 40,000 shares for $10,564,071.29 at a blended average price of $264.10, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 249,043 shares (-13.8% vs pre-transaction). The current stock price of $255.65 sits 10.0% below the 52-week high of $284.05 but represents a 12.7% gain over the prior 30 days and 15.6% over 90 days, suggesting the market has recently recovered. As the top executive of a $143.3B market-cap company with recent annual revenue decline of -3.1%, the magnitude and timing of this stake reduction warrant scrutiny of underlying business momentum and the CEO's confidence level in near-term recovery.

Simkins Lawrence Buy

$245,532
@ $245.53
Significance 5/10

Director Simkins Lawrence buys 1.0K shares of LOW at $245.53; stock down -6.5% in 30 days.

Director Simkins Lawrence purchased 1,000 shares of Lowe's at $245.53 on 2024-12-20, initiating a holding position from zero shares. The transaction comes amid a period of stock weakness: the stock is trading at -6.5% over the prior 30 days and -7.0% over 90 days, currently -12.9% below its 52-week high of $284.05. The company's annual revenue growth was -11.0%, and the stock carries a P/E of 20.38. This first-time director purchase occurs during a stretch of price decline, though without prior transaction history at this ticker, there is no established pattern to contextualize this acquisition against the director's past activity.

Vance Quonta D Sell
EVP, Pro & Home Services
7,198 shares
$1,974,881
@ $274.37
Significance 4/10

EVP Vance Quonta D sold 7,198 shares of LOW at $274.37 on 2024-11-27; holds 16,703 shares post-transaction.

Vance Quonta D, EVP of Pro & Home Services, sold 7,198 shares valued at $1,974,881.43, reducing his holdings by 30.1% from 23,901 to 16,703 shares. The sale occurred at $274.37, near the stock's 52-week high of $284.05, during a period of recent strength (30-day: +4.2%, 90-day: +9.6%). However, the company faces headwinds with annual revenue declining 11.0% year-over-year despite a $1.7B net income and elevated valuation (P/E: 22.44 on $20.2B quarterly revenue). The magnitude of the reduction—more than one-quarter of his holdings—merits attention in the context of deteriorating revenue trends, though the executive retains meaningful exposure with 16,703 shares remaining.

McFarland Joseph Michael Sell
EVP, Stores
4,000 shares
$1,082,974
@ $270.74
Significance 4/10

EVP McFarland sells 4,000 LOW shares at $270.74; prior sell at this ticker showed -10.5% 90-day return.

Joseph Michael McFarland, EVP of Stores, sold 4,000 shares at $270.74 on 2024-10-03, reducing his holdings by 6.9% to 54.1K shares. This is his second open-market sale at Lowe's; his prior sale on 2023-08-28 was followed by a -10.5% 90-day return, demonstrating a 100% well-timed rate at this ticker. The current trade occurred near the 52-week high (-1.8%), suggesting favorable exit timing. However, the broader context requires caution: annual revenue declined -11.0%, and the $1.1M transaction represents a modest portfolio adjustment rather than a large conviction signal. Investors should monitor whether this reflects tactical liquidity management or a material shift in McFarland's confidence in the business trajectory.

Godbole Seemantini Sell
EVP, Chief Information Officer
26,186 shares
$7,115,522
@ $271.73
Significance 5/10

CIO Godbole sells 26,186 LOW shares for $7.1M at $271.73; holds 30.2K post-sale (-46.5% stake reduction)

Godbole Seemantini, EVP and Chief Information Officer, executed a substantial open-market sale of 26,186 shares at $271.73, reducing her LOW holdings by 46.5% from 56.3K to 30.2K shares. The transaction occurred near the 52-week high ($272.64), with the stock currently trading at $267.76 and up 9.1% over the past 30 days and 25.2% over 90 days. Her prior LOW sales (2 on 2024-03-01 and 1 on 2023-05-25) showed mixed timing outcomes—two of three were well-timed at the 90-day horizon—yet her cross-ticker track record demonstrates a 66.67% well-timed sell rate with an average 90-day return of -2.8%. The company's fundamentals show revenue of $23.6B and net income of $2.4B in the latest quarter, though annual revenue declined 11.0% year-over-year, and the P/E stands at 21.91. This represents a material reduction in insider equity ownership at a cyclical inflection point where the stock has appreciated sharply in recent months.
