Executives at Lowe's competitor Home Depot, which reported quarterly earnings that surpassed analyst estimates on Monday, said they believed homeowners were worried about the job market, housing affordability and expressed uncertainty about the U.S. economy. Home Depot CEO Ted Decker said during the company's earnings call that customers told them they are not investing, “certainly in large projects,” after Home Depot said in November that homeowners were feeling “fatigue” in taking on big projects.
