Market Focus
Sep 09

On September 9, Lululemon Athletica fell 5.02% in regular trading, trading at $98.07 per share with turnover of $208 million, breaking below the $100 level. The decline came as new CEO Heidi O'Neill officially started her first day amid a wave of analyst downgrades and deteriorating fundamentals.

Daiwa Securities cut its price target on the stock to $105 from $120, maintaining a neutral rating. The average analyst consensus target now stands at approximately $99.67. The downgrade follows a string of price target reductions after the company reported disappointing fiscal Q2 results, with revenue falling 4% year-over-year to $2.42 billion and net income declining 11%. The company slashed its full-year revenue guidance to $10.35-$10.50 billion, well below the prior $11.0-$11.15 billion range.

Core yoga pants category sales plunged 20%, while management warned Q3 North America sales would decline approximately 15%. Previously fast-growing China operations also showed signs of reversal. Additionally, founder Chip Wilson's divorce could trigger roughly $1 billion in equity changes, further weighing on sentiment.
