Yoga Pants, Tariffs, and Upside: The $LULU Bet

Lululemon LULU - My Investment Thesis

Hey team,
I've been keeping an eye on LULU for a while, and I'm finally going to pull the trigger.
In this market of overhyped MAG 7 stocks, Lululemon dropped 62% since its high in Dec. 2023 until now.

Here's why I'm into LULU:

Revenue has been growing every year for 5 years. Still, the stock is at its lowest in 5 years.
Growth has been slower in the US but good in Asia.
Net income has also been growing over the last 3 years.
P/E ratio is at 13, the lowest in many years.
Stock is also beat up because of the tariffs.
Analysts at Morningstar put its fair value at $305 (now $193, giving it an upside of 58%).
Product Innovation: New franchises like Daydrift, Shake It Out, and Align No Line have been well-received and will continue to drive sales.
Lululemon recently announced an expansion into India for 2026, with plans to open a physical store and a partnership with Tata CLiQ, the e-commerce arm of India’s largest business conglomerate, Tata Group. India can be a huge market for Lulu.
There's also intense competition and margin erosion.
Saying this, I kinda see people around me less excited about Lululemon products.

Technical Analysis:

My EVaR - Entropic Value at Risk - is in a low risk area.
RSI is oversold.
Price has been under the 200 MA for too long.

I'm going to proceed with caution on this one, and allocate approximately. 0.5% of my portfolio into it.
Quick note: I'm just sharing my journey - not financial advice!

Really appreciate the detailed breakdown — especially the combo of fundamentals and technicals. The undervaluation case with that 13 P/E and upside to $305 is compelling. India expansion with Tata CLiQ sounds like a smart long-term move too. 0.5% allocation sounds cautious but calculated. Good luck with the position!

Interesting breakdown. The India expansion angle feels like a real catalyst if they execute well. Curious to see how competition impacts margins over the next few quarters.

Love the cautious approach. 0.5% allocation keeps it reasonable while testing the thesis. Oversold RSI and long-term growth potential make this look compelling.

Appreciate the balanced view. Tariffs and margin pressure are real risks, but fair value at 305 against 193 today gives solid upside if fundamentals hold.
