$LULU was once a darling for the IBD.

It rides on a good wave, targeting the well-heeled and the growing yoga sports culture a couple of years back.

As a retailer, LULU’s growing income hinges on its ability to increase its store first across the nation, second the region and third internationally.

It was the International market that I have been waiting. Most companies expands real quick in the North America easily as they enjoy similarities.

However, the challenge will set in as they try to embrace International business in Europe, Middle East and Asia. All of a sudden, they find themselves lacking the strengths to expand. Or the markets outside of their core region does not embrace their products as easily.

In my opinion, LULU is in such a situation. Its growth will be slowing soon. Margins will soon be eroded. And it will heads towards the $20+.

At this moment, LULU is trading below the kumo since the breakdown of the market a month back. As it rallies back together with the general market, I see opportunities for shorts.

See-through pants downs Lululemon shares 7%

http://business.financialpost.com/2013/ ... -shares-7/

Lululemon Athletica Inc. announced late Monday that its first quarter earnings will be significantly impacted after large shipments of its iconic yoga pants were deemed to be too see-through for the store’s standards.

“The ingredients, weight and longevity qualities of the pants remain the same but the coverage does not, resulting in a level of sheerness in some of our women’s black Luon bottoms that falls short of our very high standards,” the company said in a news release.

Revenue for the quarter is now expected to be $10-million to $20-million below its previous forecast of $353-million. Shares of the Vancouver-based company were down more than 7% in after hours trading on the NASDAQ stock market.

Baby Boomer Stocks to Buy: Lululemon (LULU)

As I said in the piece about Vail Resorts, baby boomers are getting a lot healthier than people the same age from 20 years ago, so it’s only natural that they are doing all kinds of things to keep fit, including yoga.

Lululemon Athletica Inc. (NASDAQ:LULU) continue to capture a big chunk of the yoga apparel market, but anyone who follows the stock knows that it’s become more than just a place for yoga enthusiasts to buy their workout gear.

It’s become a top choice for athletes of both sexes because it manufactures clothing that is both innovative and comfortable while providing a higher price point for investors.

Perhaps the biggest compliment that LULU could get as the premier athleisure company in the world is Nike Inc’s (NYSE:NKE) announcement in October that it is opening 5,000 women-focused “pants studios.”

Some experts see Nike as a category killer; I view it as a giant company reacting to the competition. Nike’s a great business but it’s not going to kick LULU off its perch by assigning space to pants studios.

If you believe in exercise, LULU is the stock for baby boomers to own, not Nike.

THIS NICHE RETAILER IS EMBRACING THE E-COMMERCE TREND

Today, we look at another clothing company that's adapting to new shopping trends...

Even with the bull market in full swing, the "death of retail" caused 26 major retail bankruptcies last year. Some traditional retailers – like Burlington Stores (BURL) – have rebranded to gain a competitive edge. Others have pivoted into the online-sales market...

We're talking about "yoga inspired" apparel maker Lululemon Athletica (LULU). To capture more online sales, the $13 billion retailer revamped its website recently. Its efforts are paying off.

Lululemon's latest e-commerce revenue jumped an incredible 42% from the same quarter last year... And its e-mail subscribers doubled in 2017.

Next, Lululemon plans to let customers pick up their online orders in more of its physical stores. And more of its locations are offering ship-from-store services.

As you can see, these changes are fueling a solid uptrend... LULU shares are up 80% over the past year, and they recently hit a new all-time high.

It's more proof that as online shopping thrives, a strong web-sales platform can help some retailers to stay competitive...

Consumer Goods Stocks to Buy and Hold: Lululemon (LULU)

If there’s an underdog stock in the world of consumer goods, Lululemon Athletica Inc. (NASDAQ:LULU) has got to be it.

First, the company promoted Christine Day to CEO — she joined LULU from Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) as head of retail operations in January 2008 — to work her magic in June 2008.

Unfortunately, Day stepped down as CEO in June 2013 after the company had several quality control issues put into question the brand’s integrity.

It then hired Laurent Potdevin, former CEO of Burton Snowboards, in December 2013. Potdevin did a good job improving the company’s quality control and corporate image along with its profitability but was forced to resign in February after it was revealed he’d been dating an employee and had created a toxic, unprofessional work environment.

Now undergoing the third CEO search in a decade, investors eagerly await the board’s hiring decision.

Although there are many potential candidates, I’m sure executive chairman Glenn Murphy and the rest of the board will take its time hiring the right person to take the company on its global expansion.

While it’s had its fair share of controversy, Lululemon remains Canada’s biggest retail apparel success story. The future, in my opinion, looks very bright.
