What are analysts saying about Lululemon Athletica inc. stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Lululemon Athletica inc. stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of Lululemon have underperformed the broader industry on a year-to-date basis. Lululemon provided a bleak outlook for first-quarter fiscal 2017, following a mixed fourth quarter. The murky guidance stemmed from the fact that the company witnessed weak comps trends in the first quarter, on account of soft traffic in stores and lower eCommerce conversion rates. Moreover, stiff competition remains a threat to Lululemon. Nevertheless, the company remains focused on product assortment improvements, website enhancements and acceleration of omni-channel models to strengthen eCommerce and store trends. Additionally, the company is committed toward achieving its goal of doubling revenues and more than doubling earnings by 2020. Further, it exhibits immense long-term growth opportunity based on its potential to enhance global presence. Estimates have been stable lately ahead of the first quarter earnings release." (5/23/2017)
- 2. FBR & Co analysts commented, "LULU reported adjusted 4Q EPS of $1.00 (excluding 1c tax impact), vs. FBR/ consensus estimates of $1.01 and $0.99–$1.01 guidance. Results reflect +7% constant-currency comps vs. FBR/consensus +6.0%/+5.4% and EBIT margin expansion of +130 bps vs. FBR/consensus +190 bps. Management provided 1Q17 guidance of $0.25–$0.27 (vs. FBR/consensus of $0.34/$0.39) on SSS of -LSD (vs. FBR/ consensus +2.0%/+5.3%), and 2017 guidance of $2.26–$2.36 (vs. FBR/consensus of $2.40/$2.57) on SSS of +LSD (vs. FBR/consensus of +2.8%/+5.4%). Management noted that 1Q SSS got off to a tough start as ecommerce conversions slowed at the end of January and continued to be soft 1QTD (management believes product was too dark), and mall traffic weakened in Feb which impacted store sales. We believe an improvement is expected in April given the shifts, which is likely factored into guidance." (3/30/2017)
- 3. Wedbush analysts commented, "We see less drama into LULU's 4Q16 earnings release versus recent quarters, as most topics are likely to be roughly in line with expectations. Specifically, we expect 4Q16 EPS to largely track expectations (though we see the possibility for modest SSS and GM upside) and FY2017 guidance is likely to place consensus near the high end of the EPS range on a +MSD comp increase. 1Q17 SSS guidance is the one metric we see carrying some uncertainty, with some investors worried mall traffic challenges will drive a +LSD comp guide, while others see the potential for +MSD guidance against sequentially easier comparisons. We believe a +LSD comp guide likely drives a modest sell-off, while a +MSD comp guide could push shares higher. Overall, we believe the scope for significant volatility in reaction to earnings/guidance seems lower than in recent quarters, given some caution on SSS guidance heading in." (3/28/2017)
