CHICAGO — Lowe’s Cos. Inc. posted better- than-expected third-quarter results Monday, even as profit slid more than 24 percent because shoppers postponed big- ticket purchases amid growing economic uncertainty.
The nation’s No. 2 home-improvement chain said it earned $488 million, or 33 cents per share, during the three months ended Oct. 31 — down from $643 million, or 43 cents per share, a year earlier.
