LAST UPDATED TODAY

Lowe's trades at a market cap of $129.4 billion with a price to earnings ratio of 19.4.

The behavioral breakdown shows quality compounder funds hold 13.1 percent of the stock and passive index funds hold another 12.1 percent, the two blocks that tend to stay put through earnings wobbles. Growth momentum funds hold 0.0 percent and deep value holds just 0.3 percent, so neither the chase crowd nor the bargain hunters see a setup here. Dealer bank positions sit at 22.4 percent, which is mostly hedging and market making plumbing rather than a directional opinion on the stock. The single largest bucket, 34.3 percent, is classified as other unclassified, meaning more than a third of the register is not sorted into any behavioral type by this model, a real limitation on how much the ownership picture can tell you. Institutional pressure reads neutral at a score of 0.00 and the broader market regime reads neutral at 0.06, so there is no detected tilt toward buying or selling pressure from the fund base right now. Remember that 13F ownership filings run 45 to 90 days stale by the time they are public, so the current fund mix could already have shifted. Short interest data, not supplied here, is only refreshed twice a month and would add another lagging piece if it were included. None of this is a signal about where Lowe's stock goes next. It is a snapshot of who owned it and how the market was positioned as of the filing dates behind these numbers, nothing more, nothing predictive.

Ownership mix by behavioral cohort. Top bars indicate which style of capital dominates the float — passive indexing, quality compounders, dealer/bank, systematic quant, etc. Big quality-compounder share means concentrated active conviction; heavy passive share means flows are dictated by index rebalances, not fundamentals.
