Lululemon Lacks Momentum Amid Founder Pressure, Board Turmoil -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-04 23:54

1154 ET - Lululemon Athletica may have little to propel the stock in the near term, with a vocal founder attacking the board, a new CEO not arriving until later this year, and governance turmoil overshadowing strategy. "With the new CEO [Heidi O'Neill] not due to start until fall, we don't see any catalyst driving fundamental improvement near-term," Jefferies' Randal Konik and Corey Tarlowe say in a report. Founder Chip Wilson criticized the board's CEO pick, which the analyst call "the board putting the cart before the horse," by making leadership and board changes ahead of the annual meeting while a proxy contest remains unresolved. To make matters worse, product designs miss, leaving further downside risk potential. Shares are down 2.4%, and down 37% year-to-date at $130.30. (adriano.marchese@wsj.com)
