Key Points

  • Lululemon, NIKE and Target are the three apparel stocks MarketBeat flags today, selected because they had the highest dollar trading volume among apparel names over the past several days.
  • Apparel stocks are consumer‑discretionary and sensitive to fashion trends, seasonality and economic cycles, so investors focus on same‑store sales, inventory levels, gross margins, brand strength and supply‑chain risks.
  • Lululemon is highlighted for trading at 2018 price levels despite reporting record revenue—MarketBeat suggests this could present a buying opportunity and provides research reports on LULU, NKE and TGT.
  • MarketBeat previews the top five stocks to own by June 1st.
