GOOS-T vs. LULU-Q. He follows them. He would like to own LLL-T. GOOS-T has come off their all time highs about 50%. He either needs to see their earnings grow or their stock price drop. He is looking at it. Both are extremely well run companies with strong brands. They have excellent management teams and strong franchises. GOOS-T would be his preference from a valuation perspective.

This is high end consumer merchandise. This always happens in the 2^nd half of the business cycle so she thinks it will have headwinds for the next few years. The stock is down a lot, but she wouldn’t buy it here. If you own, Sell.

Valuation has always kept her away from this stock. A growth momentum name so has a very high multiple. Had some product quality issues, which had a negative impact on traffic. Still doesn’t think it is cheap.

Short. Company had no numbers or anything positive on analyst day. Thinks the whole yoga craze is done.

They were in a massive growth phase for a longtime, while they were opening stores and sales were growing. Sales growth has slowed. The market is not willing to pay the multiple that it was. A retailer trades on earnings per share. It is not a darling of the street any more. It will be a market performer at best.

Prior to some of its little mishaps recently, the stock had been flying. Trading at 24X PE, which doesn’t leave it a lot of room for mistakes. As you can see, when a mistake happens, the stock is going to fall off. A bit expensive.

(Market Call Minute) An avoid until you get a better sense next quarter. Expensive compared to the rest of the peer group.
