What happened
Lowe's Companies reported its fiscal second-quarter results, covering the period that ended July 31. Same-store sales were essentially flat, growing only 0.2%. Management attributed the tepid sales to macroeconomic pressures that have affected homeowners' willingness to take on projects. The company now anticipates flat comps for the year, revising its previous expectation of 0% to 2%.

Why it matters
High interest rates have made purchasing new homes less attractive, causing more homeowners to opt for renovations instead of buying new properties. This shift in consumer behavior is impacting the retail sector, contributing to Lowe's stock underperforming the S&P 500.
