Check out the companies making headlines in the premarket Friday:

Home Depot (HD), Lowe's (LOW) — An analyst at Oppenheimer downgraded both of the home improvement companies to "perform" from "outperform." He also lowered his price targets on the two stocks, noting that, near term, "we're increasingly concerned that the market is becoming too lax toward chances of a post-Covid-19 sales growth downshift at HD/LOW and potential impact on shares." Home Depot and Lowe's fell 1% and 1.4%, respectively.
