Latest LULU news & analysis

Michael Burry calls Lululemon his portfolio trickster: why he is buying the crash

Invezz · 8 Sept 2026neutral

Michael Burry is buying Lululemon stock while Wall Street avoids it. The stock has lost more than half its value this year and fell below $100 for the first time since 2018, after weak product launches, falling Americas sales and another guidance cut.

Fox Business · 8 Sept 2026neutral

Lululemon co-founder Chip Wilson and his wife Shannon "Summer" Wilson are reported to be divorcing after more than 20 years of marriage, reportedly without a prenuptial agreement. The split ends a marriage and business partnership that helped grow Lululemon into a global athleisure brand.

24/7 Wall Street · 7 Sept 2026neutral

The article notes that Nike, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Lululemon have all declined significantly while the broader retail sector has climbed, highlighting a divergence within the athletic goods space. It frames the situation as a question about which athletic retailer is worth considering.

lululemon: An 18% Crash Is Not A Buy Signal

Seeking Alpha · 7 Sept 2026negative

Seeking Alpha maintains a 'Sell' rating on lululemon despite a sharp post-earnings stock drop and a valuation near $100. The report highlights deteriorating core business momentum, including an 8% Americas revenue decline, 12% comps drop, and Q3 guidance pointing to another 10-11% decline, while noting headline margin strength was inflated by a one-time $134.5M tariff refund.

Why it matters — LULU watchers would care because the report argues that underlying profitability is weakening and that the recent valuation dip does not signal a buying opportunity.
