lululemon athletica inc. is searching for a new CEO as the company's U.S. brand performance is under increasing scrutiny. Recent financials highlight a mixed performance. American earnings decline sharply as LULU is facing brand and tariff pressure, in part offset by rapid growth internationally. I estimate LULU stock to have 25% upside to $259.5.
Lululemon needs a new CEO. One investor's preferred candidate might not be a a stretch.
LULU's "Power of Three x2" strategy aims to double men's, digital and international revenues by FY26, but U.S. softness and margin pressure test execution.
