As of Jun 23, 2026. Market Open.
Got an analyst upgrade today and the stock surged and lifted the entire retail clothing sector. He prefers tried-and-true Lululemon though.
This is gone through a respectable 1st round of recovery. They’ve renovated about 500 stores and are planning to renovate a couple of more. They’ve removed their products from about a quarter of the Department stores, and have reduced the number of promotions/sales which has helped their profit margins. These are entry-level luxury items, and people only buy 1 or 2 of them, unless they expand their offerings. They are not buying 4 or 5. Not sure where the growth is going to come from. Feels the easy money has already been made.
An iconic brand developed in the US that has been around for over 50 years. Sold off very hard recently because it didn’t perform very well over the last two quarters. He believes that a couple of quarters of subpar performance doesn’t mean that the game is over. What you have is a high luxury brand trading at a discount multiple on numbers that he believes are extremely low. Gaining traction with consumers in Asia. Dividend yield of 2.45%.
