LULULEMON CRASHES! SHOCKING PROFITS PLUNGE DUE TO TARIFF DISASTER!

Hold on to your yoga mats, folks! Lululemon’s stock just SPIRALLED DOWNWARD in after-hours trading following a CATASTROPHIC earnings forecast that nobody saw coming!

In a jaw-dropping twist, the athleisure giant WHIPPED the second-quarter earnings estimates but fell short on revenue — and investors are NOT pleased. Get ready for the shocking numbers: a staggering $240 MILLION hit from tariffs is about to CRUSH profits!

EARNINGS DISASTER: LULULEMON’s Future Looks GRIM!

Here’s the inside scoop: Lululemon’s earnings for the year are projected to plummet to a measly $12.77 to $12.97 PER SHARE—far below Wall Street’s lofty expectations of $14.45! And that’s not all: anticipated revenue ranges from $10.85 billion to $11 billion, while Wall Street expected a robust $11.18 billion. WHAT A FIASCO!

CEO Calvin McDonald didn’t mince words. “We’re facing ANOTHER twist in the industry with tariffs and soaring costs,” he lamented. The pain comes from increased rates and the loss of the de minimis exemptions, which are wreaking havoc on guidance for this fiscal year!

STOCK PLUMMETS: 12% DIVE AFTER THE BELL!

Revenue may have missed expectations by a whisker, but that’s NOT stopping shares from tanking a staggering 12% right after the bell! This catastrophic drop means the stock is down MORE THAN 45% this year alone—talk about a TOTAL FREEFALL!

BARELY SCRAPING BY: CAN LULULEMON TURN IT AROUND?

With net income at $370.9 million (that’s $3.10 a share), compared to last year’s $3.15, things are looking bleak! Gross margins sank by 1.1 percentage points to 58.5%, and operating margins plummeted to 20.7%. YIKES!

CFO Meghan Frank revealed a haunting fact: the removal of the de minimis exemption accounts for almost all of the profit decline expected this year. And guess what? Same-store sales in the Americas just dropped by 4%!

DESPERATE CHANGE: NEW STYLES ON THE HORIZON!

In a last-ditch effort to salvage their reputation, McDonald is now shaking things up! He plans to ramp up new styles from a mere 23% of their inventory to a BOLD 35% by next spring—talk about a drastic makeover!

He admitted, “Our lounge and social offerings have gone stale!” This brand better get its act together or risk disappearing into the abyss!

With tough competition and a faltering U.S. market, will Lululemon rise from the ashes, or is this the beginning of the end? Stay tuned, because we’ll be watching every thrilling twist and turn!
