Buy Lululemon and Its Track Record of Growth

By LOUIS NAVELLIER

In the most recent quarter, LULU saw same-store sales grow a whopping 20%.

And margins were up significantly, which is why that price integrity is so crucial.

In Q2, LULU was averaging $1,500 in sales per square foot, which is a huge number. For example, Gap (NYSE:GPS) averages about $340.

Initial reports are the men’s line is selling briskly.

The other big news is that LULU is moving beyond its focus in North America and expanding in Europe and Asia. Sales in those markets were up 53% in Q2 compared to the same quarter last year.

Lululemon is expected to generate more than $3 billion in annual sales this year.

The market cap on the stock is about $17 billion. It’s not a bargain here, trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 57.

Lululemon (LULU)

Lululemon athletica (NASDAQ: LULU) is an upscale sportswear company that pretty much coined the term ‘athleisure’.

What LULU has done very well is know its customers and maintain control of its brand. Its products are not cheap. But that’s the point.

They’re well made, and by not distributing them outside of its own retail shops and e-commerce site, it has been able to keep prices where it needs them to be.

Bigger brands in the market have massive distribution networks, which means pricing premiums are harder to maintain and that makes it tough to control margins.

LULU has built a great and growing customer base and has patiently expanded its market in to menswear.

LULU stock is up more than 80% in the past 12 months, yet it still trades a trailing P/E of 51. That’s amazing given the growth potential out there and how well run this company is.

Lululemon Athletica (NASDAQ:LULU) is excelling in a fast-growing market — athletic apparel that can be worn for relaxing and for sport.

Indeed, the company recently reported stellar earnings results that showed its growth runway is only just beginning.

Revenue, for example, grew over 20% year-over-year to $782.3 million, easily beating the $756.1 million consensus. Meanwhile 14% same-store sales growth sailed past the expected figure of 11.5%.

“For a while, we have highlighted [Lululemon] as a key market share grabber and innovator within athleisure and one of the most compelling growth stories in all of consumer,” cheers Oppenheimer’s Brian Nagel.

“Last night’s report from [Lululemon] goes a long way in helping to support our positive thesis on the company and its shares.”

This five-star analyst has a $225 price target on the stock (24% upside potential).

Meanwhile, Susquehanna’s Sam Poser called the results “exceptional,” adding that LULU stock remains the “premiere retailer in our (and likely any) coverage universe.”

Momentum is continuing, and as Poser says: “There is more room to run.”

WITH OFFICES CLOSED, IT'S A BULL MARKET IN YOGA PANTS

Today's company sells America's new work clothes...

The coronavirus outbreak has shut down offices across the country, and many employees expect to work from home for months to come. That means traditional dress clothes are staying in the closet. Instead, folks need a different type of daily outfit...

Lululemon Athletica (LULU) is a $35 billion apparel company. Its products are most associated with yoga and other physical activities... But when the living room couch replaced the office desk or conference table, Lululemon's customers found they wanted its comfortable yoga pants five days a week.

"The company's product categories are in the sweet spot right now," Fortune magazine reported last week.

After falling with the broader market earlier this year, LULU shares have roughly doubled from their March lows – and they recently hit a new all-time high. COVID-19 has upended many industries, but Lululemon has reaped the benefits...

Lululemon on Thursday, said it saw strong third-quarter demand and a positive start to the holiday shopping season, but the retailer gave a tepid fourth-quarter outlook.

In its third fiscal quarter, earnings per share was US$2.53 adjusted while revenue came in at US$2.20 billion vs. US$2.19 billion expected.

The company’s reported net income for the three-month period that ended October 29 was US$249 million, or US$1.96 per share, compared with US$255 million, or US$2 per share, a year earlier.

Sales rose to US$2.2 billion, up about 19% from US$1.86 billion a year earlier.

During the quarter, sales jumped 12% in North America and 49% internationally but the retailer’s holiday guidance came in light of expectations.

Lululemon said it’s expecting sales to be between US$3.14 billion and US$3.17 billion for the fourth quarter, which is shy of the US$3.18 billion analysts had expected.

It expects earnings to be between US$4.85 and US$4.93 per share, compared to estimates of US$4.80 to US$5.19.

For the full year, Lululemon expects sales to be between US$9.55 billion and US$9.58 billion, compared to estimates of US$8.11 and US$9.90 billion.
