Direct answer
Lululemon remains a high-quality compounder with exceptional ROIC (25.8%) and solid operating margins (20%+). However, a near-term growth digestion phase—evidenced by expected negative EPS growth in the current year—requires anchoring revenue and earnings to realistic lower-single digit growth paths before assuming trend stabilization. Fair value range: low $182, high $282, with mid-point at $228.

§1 Samenvatting

  • Market implies a pessimistic -4.5% perpetual growth, creating a deep discount for a 25.8% ROIC compounder.
  • Clean accounting and robust cash conversion (OCF/NI > 1.0) provide strong fundamental downside support.
  • Extreme peer PEG dispersion justifies isolating core intrinsic cash generation models.
