Lowe's: Are Sales Riding on Too Few Products?
Business question: Is Lowe's relying too heavily on a handful of products and brands, and do the products customers love most also sell the most?

Key Findings
-
One brand, Flexco, drives about 45% of estimated sales, and two brands together account for over 70%.
-
About 20% of products bring in about 80% of estimated sales.
-
The best-loved categories (Windows & Doors, Dining & Entertaining, rated about 4.9★) bring in little revenue, and Kitchen is the lowest rated at 2★.
Why Does It Matter?
Relying on a few brands is a real risk. If one supplier raises prices or runs short on stock, a large share of sales is exposed. Spotting this early gives the business time to diversify.
