Lululemon aims for 2% to 4% revenue growth in 2026 with $11.15B revenue guidance. Profit per share is guided between $10.95 and $11.15. New store openings in India and board stability support growth. The company trades cheap with a P/E of 9.3 versus peers at 23.2.
Sales growth is pressured by slowing demand in China and brand controversies. Management is volatile with recent earnings cuts. Competition and tariff risks may hurt margins and revenue growth.
The market prices in about 8% revenue growth and a 42% discount to our fair value near $200. Our fair value is well above the Street median of $115, reflecting optimism on recovery and growth. Recent guidance cuts and earnings revisions show risks to these expectations.
Breaks if: China sales decline more than 5% YoY in FY26
Breaks if: EPS falls below $10.95 in FY26
