Lululemon, a Wall Street battleground stock and in and out of fashion

Lululemon, a Wall Street battleground stock and in and out of fashion

By Thomas Paulson, Head of Market Insights Lululemon’s quarterly results in the Americas segment (Canada and the United States) were flat on a comparable basis; the segment’s revenue increased +2% (ex-unusuals) reflecting the contribution of more locations. Advan estimates that traffic per location increased +4%, but that was offset by a decline in the conversion rate and store-level average-ticket; as such, the reported results align with Advan’s estimates. In Wall Street lingo, LULU is known as a “battleground stock,” with the different sides debating / fighting over whether Lulu is facing competitive encroachment by Vuori and Alo Yoga.
