Lowe's Cos. on Wednesday gave a more specific full-year sales forecast, after the company had said earlier in the year that it was performing better than its previous forecast.

The Mooresville, N.C.-based home-improvement retailer said it now expects 2021 revenue of about $92 billion. In May, the company said only that it was tracking above a previous forecast for sales of $86 billion.

Lowe's also forecast an operating margin of about 12.2% year over year. It said its gross margin would probably improve slightly compared with last year's.
