Lowe’s (NYSE:LOW) has named current J.C. Penney CEO Marvin Ellison as its new president and chief executive. The move is in line with the chain’s efforts to better serve its customer base.
In this segment from Industry Focus: Consumer Goods, Vincent Shen and Dan Kline how Ellison’s hiring fits the narrative management is trying to weave for investors. Despite the company’s best efforts, however, investors do have another option in this industry in Home Depot (NYSE:HD).
A full transcript follows the video.
This video was recorded on May 29, 2018.
Vincent Shen: In terms of big picture takeaway, how bullish are you for the company? Do you think that these various investments that they’re making, these priorities that they’ve set out, do you think that’s enough?
Dan Kline: My opinion on Lowe’s changed very much in the last few quarters. I have a background, my family has a ladder and scaffolding business, so I know some aspect of the contractor world. But I am not handy, as has come up multiple times. And I find shopping at Lowe’s, or Home Depot, torturous. You cannot get someone to pay attention to you. If you don’t know what you’re talking about, there’s no sympathy. So to read, for the past year, that they’re addressing the customer on all different levels, everyone from the me to the contractor who knows exactly what he wants and they don’t necessarily have it — the fact that they’re putting that in, and then they brought in a customer-friendly CEO, that takes this from a company that, I believed in their financials, to a company I actually like.
