That's why investors are looking for growth of around 25% again in Q1.</p><p>That headline number might be skewed by surging prices for things like lumber, though, so Home Depot's comparable-store sales will be more useful to follow. The chain notched a 21% increase on that metric in fiscal 2020, compared to Lowe's 26% spike. The reports this week by both retailers will show whether the industry's second-largest player continued to close the operating gap between the two retailers in 2021.</p><h2>Prices and profits</h2><p>Home Depot's profitability remained unchallenged in the past year, with operating margin holding at about 14% compared to Lowe's 11%. The upcoming reports might show further tightening between the two companies, but overall margins should rise thanks to surging prices in many home improvement niches, especially lumber. It will be interesting to see how the chains handled these price surges, and whether they were able to pass along any savings to their customers.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://media.ycharts.com/charts/54111999e38f74d27cdcbeda9fb4a041.png\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"468\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>HD Operating Margin (TTM) data by YCharts</span></p><p>Home Depot executives said in February that operating margin should stay around 14%, and Lowe's is predicting another small step toward its goal of reaching 13% in time.</p><h2>The outlook</h2><p>The biggest factor influencing the stock this week will be management's updated outlook.
