“Now, Lowe’s follows Home Depot and retail week, and lately, Lowe’s has been in better shape. CEO Marvin Ellison runs stores that are equally attractive to the consumer and to the professional contractors. That combination’s been working better than Home Depot’s more contractor-focused approach.”

During the July 23 episode, when a caller asked whether they should buy, sell, or hold the stock, the Mad Money host responded:

“Marvin Ellison is hitting the ball. He’s doing his best. He got the, Fed chairman won’t cut the rates. We don’t have a lot of housing turnover. You think I’m going to quit Marvin Ellison now? Absolutely not.”
