The two leaders in home-improvement retail. Professional contractors make up a larger share of Home Depot's sales, while Lowe's sells more to do-it-yourself customers. Both are sensitive to home sales and mortgage rates.

Each series is converted to a percentage of its own starting point, so all of them begin at zero. What is compared is the return over the period, not price levels.
