US EditionLululemon Disappoints In Q4, Analysts Say Brand Is 'Strong But Overstretched' - Lululemon Athletica (NASDAQ:LULU)
- On Friday, U.S. Stock indexes slipped, with the S&P 500 down 0.5% in morning trading at 9:55 a.m. Eastern time, potentially marking its fifth losing week in the last six, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased by 263 points and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.7%.
- The market downturn was influenced by a morning report that raised concerns about potentially discouraging updates on inflation and U.S. Household spending, along with an underlying measure of inflation being slightly worse than economists anticipated.
- Lululemon Athletica tumbled 13.3% despite reporting a stronger profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected, and CEO Calvin McDonald stated that 'consumers are spending less due to increased concerns about inflation and the economy'.
- Lululemon's Q4 net revenue rose 12.7% year-over-year to $3.6 billion, which included an extra week in 2024, and net income increased 11.8% to $748.4 million, with gross margins expanding to 60.4%, exceeding market expectations.
- Despite exceeding Q4 expectations, Lululemon's shares declined almost 15% on Friday after the apparel company released an upbeat fourth-quarter report, overshadowed by disappointing full-year guidance, with analysts reducing price targets and expressing concerns about long-term domestic revenue sizing, although the company plans to open 40 to 45 new stores in 2025 and is focused on brand awareness.
