US EditionLululemon Hints It Had a Strong Christmas, Says Q4 Sales at High End of Guidance
Lululemon expects Q4 revenue near $3.6 billion and EPS up to $4.76, reflecting strong holiday sales despite leadership changes and activist investor pressure.
- On Jan. 12, 2026, Lululemon Athletica Inc. said it expects fourth-quarter net revenue and diluted earnings per share to come in at the high end of its guidance, the company announced Monday.
- After reviewing holiday-season performance, Meghan Frank, chief financial officer, said the update reflects the fourth quarter including Black Friday, the week before Christmas and Boxing Day, and prior guidance ranges for revenue and diluted EPS.
- The company left other financial outlook items unchanged, maintaining its guidance for gross margin, selling, general and administrative expenses, and the effective tax rate despite fierce rivals Alo and Vuori.
- Calvin McDonald, chief executive officer, announced he will step down effective Jan. 31 as Elliott Management, activist investor with a $1 billion stake, pushes for Jane Nielsen and founder Chip Wilson nominates three board candidates.
- Lululemon Athletica Inc. is signalling a strong holiday result despite governance strife, saying it will evaluate founder Chip Wilson’s suggestions while the board of directors seeks a transformational leader.
