Case Allegations

Lululemon is a designer, distributor, and retailer of technical athletic apparel, footwear, and accessories.

As alleged in the lululemon case, during the Class Period, Defendants made a series of false and misleading statements concerning the Company’s growth prospects. For example, in January 2024, Defendants told investors “[o]ur sales trend remains balanced across channels, categories, and geographies, enabling us to raise our guidance.”   When securities analysts asked about a deceleration in growth, Defendants assured investors the slowdown was “contained to the fourth quarter [of 2023].”

In truth, the Company was struggling with inventory allocation issues and color palette execution issues and as a result, the Company’s Breezethrough product launch underperformed and the Company was experiencing stagnating sales in the Americas region, lululemon’s most important business segment.  

The truth began to be revealed on March 21, 2024, when lululemon revealed that the Company’s growth was stagnating in the Americas region. Specifically, the Company reported underwhelming financial results for the fourth quarter of 2023 in North America and issued guidance for 2024 that was below analyst expectations in terms of both topline revenue and earnings per share.   On this news, the Company’s share price fell $75.65, or nearly 16% to close at $403.19 per share on March 22, 2024.

Then, on July 24, 2024, Bloomberg reported that several analysts noted lululemon’s inventory allocation seemed inconsistent, particularly as to the Breezethrough legging launched earlier that month. On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $9.31, or 3.3%, to close at $272.06 per share on July 24, 2024.

Finally, on July 25, 2024, Bloomberg reported that a lululemon spokesperson told the publication that the Company “made the decision to pause on sales [of the Breezethrough yoga wear] for now to make any adjustments necessary to deliver the best possible product experience.” On this news, the Company’s share price fell $24.74, or 9.1%, to close at $247.32 per share on July 25, 2024.
