On June 5, lululemon athletica declined 11.3% in regular trading, trading at $115.03/share with trading volume of $462 million. The sharp sell-off was triggered by the company's significant downward revision of full-year guidance following its fiscal Q1 earnings release.

While Q1 results slightly beat expectations with revenue of $2.47 billion (vs. $2.43B expected) and EPS of $1.69 (vs. $1.68 expected), the company slashed its full-year revenue outlook to $11.0-$11.15 billion from $11.35-$11.5 billion, and cut full-year EPS guidance to $10.95-$11.15, down roughly 10% from the prior $12.10-$12.30 range. Most alarming was the Q2 EPS guidance of $1.76-$1.81, far below the $2.68 analyst consensus.

Management cited negative social media commentary impacting store traffic, underperforming new product launches, and persistent weakness in the Americas market, where net revenue fell 3% and comparable sales declined 5%. Net income plunged 38% year-over-year to $195 million. The interim co-CEO noted that below-plan revenue growth will necessitate additional seasonal markdowns. Multiple investment banks including JPMorgan, Barclays, and Jefferies subsequently lowered their price targets, with analysts warning that no near-term catalyst exists before a new CEO takes the helm in September.
