What are Wall Street analysts saying about Lululemon Athletica stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Lululemon Athletica stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of lululemon have increased and outpaced the industry year to date. This can be attributed to the company’s positive earnings and sales surprise streak as well as a strong view for the third quarter and fiscal 2019. The stellar performance indicates that the company’s merchandising policies and investments to achieve growth across sales channels are yielding. Speaking of growth endeavors, management is on track with the Power of Three strategic plan. Further, it has been gaining from consistent growth in comps, backed by digital growth. However, concerns regarding the potential impact of tariffs and additional airfreight costs cannot be ignored. These costs are likely to exert pressure on gross margin and drag down earnings per share by 4-5 cents in fiscal 2019. Moreover, currency headwinds are persistent threats." (9/9/2019)
- 2. Guggenheim analysts commented, "We believe the results demonstrate continued momentum in the business globally. LULU continues to drive outsized results across its portfolio, and we are encouraged by the continued momentum on top of quite challenging YoY comparisons (+36% 2-year CC comp, up 1pt QoQ). Given our belief LULU should drive continued top- line strength, with the brand pursuing a significant global opportunity, we remain BUY- rated and raise our PT to $220 (from $200) on our higher top-line/earnings forecasts for FY19E/FY20E post-2Q."
