This summary was created by AI, based on 26 opinions in the last 12 months.

Lululemon Athletica (LULU) is currently experiencing significant challenges, with shares down 45% this year. The company is undergoing a turnaround under new management, but investors are skeptical due to disappointing quarterly results and flat-to-negative same-store sales in North America. Competition has increased as leisurewear demand wanes with the return to office settings, leading consumers to seek cheaper alternatives. Despite its valuation appearing attractive at around 10x to 14x PE, mixed opinions on product innovation and internal issues contribute to a cautious outlook. Analysts suggest waiting for clearer signs of recovery before taking a position, indicating a potential upside if the US business starts growing again.

WATCH

He's definitely looking at it, exciting at these levels. Hiccup with Breezethrough over last couple of weeks, what will inventory write-downs be? EM penetration requires lower margins. Doesn't report until September. Worth doing your homework. Hoping they can right the ship and get back to growth. 

DON'T BUY

Used to be the hottest thing going. Long-term uptrend looks to be broken. Lows from 2022 are being tested. If it doesn't find support, you could see the much lower lows from 2020. If you already own, it's one of those mug's game stocks.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

The Canadian based athletic clothing manufacturer is stretching its markets internationally, where sales are up over 35% this year.  Analysts like that it is trading at 22x earnings -- a 40% discount to its 10 year average valuation.  We like that cash reserves are growing, whiles shares are bought back, which supports a 40% ROE.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $200, looking to achieve $324 -- upside potential of 28%.  Yield 0%

(Analysts’ price target is $392.54)
TOP PICK

Looking at the chart, a deep value play. A brand-new addition for her, just picking it up this week. Over the years, she's traded it multiple times and made money. Retail sector has been one of the primary pain points in the last few months, and she sees opportunity. No dividend.

With this one, you have to consider the bigger picture: quality, customer loyalty. 80% of revenue in 2023 from USA, 10% from China, rest globally. Oversold, recession fears have moved to the back burner. Trading at 40% discount to 10-year average. Her price target is $400, a 37% return on a trade from here. High-quality business, challenging macro, story's far from over.

(Analysts’ price target is $392.90)
BUY

At 20x PE trades lower than Nike. Believes in LULU's management and positioning.

SELL

They report next week. They have huge brand awareness, but to be honest this is a tax-loss sale after they report. However, he won't do that yet because they trade at 30x historically and now at 21x. He bought at 27x. He got ahead of this, but won't sell it yet. No doubt there's more competition in this space.

DON'T BUY

Is down 31% in the last 6 months. Wait till they report before making a move.

TOP PICK

We reiterate LULU as a TOP PICK.  Recently reported earnings showed sales growing only 9% in Q1, below 12% expectations, and share prices traded lower in response.  Looking longer term, international sales were up over 50% -- representing 20% of company sales -- lots of room for growth.  Cash reserves are growing, whiles shares are bought back.  It trades at 26x earnings and supports a 42% ROE.  We continue to recommend a stop at $300, looking to achieve $454 --upside potential of 40%.  Yield 0%

DON'T BUY
downgraded today

Revenue growth is up 30% in the past 3 years, but 18% in the past year, so growth may be moderating and the pandemic bump could be over. Shares are up 105% over the last 5 years, but down 30% year to date. This may be a maturing company.

WAIT

Strength in brand and company. Headwinds in the apparel category, weighing on demand. Higher price point, somewhat discretionary (though depends who you ask ;) Show-me. High expectations. Watch and wait for a couple of back-to-back stronger quarters. Price trend is down.

PARTIAL SELL

He's usually bullish LULU but their last nights were not that good.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly

Recently reported quarterly EPS grew 20%.  Cash reserves are growing while shares are bought back.  It trades at 32x earnings and supports a robust 42% ROE.  They plan to open 30 stores outside North America in 2024.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $300, looking to achieve $485 — upside potential of 25%.  Yield 0% 

(Analysts’ price target is $485.27)
PARTIAL BUY

It's always been tough to get this at a reasonable price. It is a good, popular product with longevity. It is getting to a point where you could buy a half position.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Wants to buy it. It remains expensive though shares are sliding 16% today. They have a unique brand.
