As most investors know, Home Depot (HD 1.15%) and Lowe's Companies (LOW +0.22%) are the country's two largest home improvement retailers. They have succeeded for decades by providing for such needs, and it should not come as a surprise that both companies have pivoted extensively into artificial intelligence (AI). What may intrigue investors is that each company is not necessarily taking the same approach with AI, and that could affect profitability and, ultimately, stock returns over time. Hence, investors should evaluate each strategy to find which company has capitalized on AI in retail better. Each company's solutions Most customers generally regard Home Depot as the store more geared toward contractors. To that end, the company is working to make AI an integral part of its customers' home improvement projects. In partnership with Alphabet's Google, the company developed the Magic Apron assistant to deliver advice about projects and answer questions about products, both in the store and on its website and app. And members of the Pro Xtra loyalty program for professional contractors can use the company's AI to generate project requirements and a corresponding product list for these customers. The technology will also help with finding items within the store and answering customer service questions. In contrast, Lowe's bills itself as the store better suited for do-it-yourself (DIY) projects and has designed its AI to serve these customers. In a partnership with OpenAI, Lowe's has launched the Mylow digital assistant to help train employees to sell products more effectively. It will also help customers find products needed for various DIY projects through the first-ever AI-powered virtual advisor. More recently, Lowe's has deployed AI agents across its stores to help answer basic questions, freeing up employees for more face-to-face customer interactions. Results of AI Despite AI's potential, the results are unclear, as neither company mentioned AI in its earnings...

For Immediate Release Chicago, IL – March 4, 2026 – Today, Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights Axon Enterprise AXON, Qualcomm QCOM and Sandisk Corporation SNDK. How Taser Shocked Wall Street in the Early 2000s In 2002, “stun gun” maker Taser, now called Axon Enterprise, went on one of the most stunning runs in Wall Street history. From late October 2002 to its top in December of 2004, Taser soared from $0.40 to $33.45, registering a mind-blowing 8,262.50% return. What drove Taser’s euphoric move? The answer is the perfect storm of product innovation, luck, and a lack of competition. In 2003, Taser perfected its non-lethal weapon, the TASER X26. Because the X26 was less bulky and lighter than its early models, Taser was able to become the gold standard of non-lethal technology for police departments across the country. Gone were the days where police only had the difficult binary choice of using lethal force or no force at all. Meanwhile, because the 9/11 tragedy had recently occurred, Taser was able to win funding from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to provide its stun gun technology to the military and pilots (to use as a defense against hijackers. By the end of 2003, over 4,000 law enforcement agencies had adopted Taser’s technology. Taser: Buy High, Sell Higher On Wall Street, hindsight is 20/20. Prior to its massive move, Taser was an illiquid, unknown company that had registered negative returns. That said, investors could have still made life-changing fortunes by latching onto the stock after it had already registered triple-digit revenue growth and had gained 1,000%. Taser: Back-to-Back High Tight Flags William O’Neil was one of the greatest growth investors of all-time. O’Neil gained popularity with his unique view of markets. Instead of solely relying on either technicals or fundamentals, O’Neil used both to gain an advantage on Wall Street, ultimately making a fortune. Some of O’Neil’s most profitable trades came from his high-tight flag patter...
