Amid Macro Headwinds, Lululemon Shines Bright With Topline Growth And Broad-Based Momentum: Morgan Stanley
- Morgan Stanley analyst Alex Straton reiterated an Overweight rating on the shares of Lululemon Athletica Inc (NASDAQ: LULU), raising the price target from $405 to $424.
- Clean beat & raise stands out this earnings season, & quells quarter-to-date demand & inventory concerns, pushing the stock up during the session, said the analyst.
- This makes LULU one of the only stocks in the analyst’s coverage to deliver an across-the-board beat & raise this earnings season, in addition to On Holding AG (NYSE: ONON).
- According to the analyst, the topline momentum was broad-based across channels, geographies, categories, and perhaps most notably, across new and existing customer cohorts, added the analyst.
- LULU’s fundamentals & performance resilience remain on display, the two key drivers of the analyst’s Overweight rating.
- The analyst noted that the company’s fundamentals are impressive on a standalone basis, especially relative to peers.
- The Q1 results further emboldened the analyst’s view that LULU can likely weather the macro headwinds more effectively than peers.
- LULU is a long-term topline grower, supported by compelling secular tailwinds (e.g., performance/athleisure focus), a market share gain opportunity, & credible future revenue driver, said the analyst.
