Lululemon (LULU - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $383.62, moving +0.08% from the previous trading session. This change lagged the S&P 500's 0.82% gain on the day.
Coming into today, shares of the athletic apparel maker had gained 6.74% in the past month. In that same time, the Consumer Discretionary sector lost 0.63%, while the S&P 500 gained 3.89%.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from LULU as it approaches its next earnings report date. In that report, analysts expect LULU to post earnings of $1.15 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 55.41%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $1.32 billion, up 46.63% from the prior-year quarter.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $6.94 per share and revenue of $5.91 billion. These totals would mark changes of +47.66% and +34.23%, respectively, from last year.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for LULU. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
