Lululemon Athletica (LULU) reports fiscal Q1 FY26 results after the bell today, June 4. The stock is trading around $126, down over 39% year-to-date, and the Street isn’t exactly holding its breath for a breakout quarter.
Lululemon Athletica Inc., LULU
Analysts expect earnings per share of $1.68 — a 35.3% drop from the same period last year. Revenue is projected to come in at $2.43 billion, which would be a modest 2.5% year-over-year increase.
The soft EPS outlook reflects ongoing pressure from tariff-related costs and weaker demand in the U.S. market. Consumer spending on discretionary items has been under pressure, and Lululemon hasn’t been immune.
The company resolved one distraction ahead of the print, settling its proxy fight with founder Chip Wilson by agreeing to two board nominations. That removes some noise going into the report.
Evercore’s Michael Binetti cut his price target to $130 from $175 and kept a Hold. He flagged the risk of a “big reset” to full-year FY26 guidance as the main concern, even as he acknowledged the stock’s valuation has become more attractive.
Raymond James analyst Rick Patel also reiterated a Hold. He expects Q1 results to beat the company’s own conservative guidance, pointing to sequential improvement in foot traffic and website traffic. But not all of his checks were positive — mobile app monthly users showed a slowdown.
Patel is watching whether new products can reignite demand. The January launch of the Get Low line didn’t land well with customers. However, his checks show more encouraging signals for the Unrestricted Power and ShowZero ranges. He’s cautiously optimistic but not convinced these are game-changers yet.
LULU’s P/E ratio sits at 9.37x, well below its historical averages. The forward P/E of 10.13 suggests the market is pricing in continued slow growth.
GF Score stands at 77/100, with profitability and growth both rated 10/10. Financial strength is 6/10, and momentum is rated F — reflecting the stock’s poor price performance this year.
Insiders have been buying. Two transactions over the past three months totaled 9,365 shares purchased, which could signal some internal confidence despite the broader headwinds.
Options traders are pricing in a 10% move in either direction following the report. For context, LULU’s average post-earnings move over the past four quarters has been 12.95% in absolute terms.
Wall Street’s consensus is a Hold, based on 20 Hold ratings and one Buy. The average price target of $169.53 implies roughly 34.5% upside from current levels.
