Lululemon's Situation Is Increasingly Concerning, Oppenheimer Says -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Jun 05

0904 ET - Oppenheimer says it remains constructive on "the underlying prowess of the Lululemon brand." But after the company logged underwhelming 1Q results and cut its outlook for the year, analysts Brian Nagel and Andrew Chasanoff say they are "increasingly concerned that stagnation could take hold, amid a void of senior leadership and while smaller, more nimble operators continue to 'nip away' within the broader athleisure category." Lululemon stands to benefit from the appointment of former Nike executive Heidi O'Neill as CEO, the analysts add in a research note. "However, given a non-compete agreement with her former employer, Heidi cannot start until Sep., thereby delaying any significant product relaunch until early 2028, in our view," they say. Lululemon slides 12% premarket. (connor.hart@wsj.com)
