Lululemon gets hammered, down 21% after cutting its full-year profit outlook

Lululemon sweats might be comfortable, but its second-quarter outlook is not.

Shares of the upscale athletic-wear company plunged more than 21% after the bell following its earnings report Thursday.

Lulu guided for second-quarter revenue of between $2.54 billion and $2.56 billion, shy of Wall Street’s estimate of $2.57 billion, and it forecast earnings per share of $2.85 to $2.90, far below analysts’ expectations of $3.29. The company cut its full-year EPS outlook to between $14.58 and $14.78. It had previously expected $14.95 to $15.15.

CEO Calvin McDonald nodded to the “dynamic macroenvironment” (i.e. tariffs and their impact). Lululemon rival and Athleta owner Gap last week said it expects a tariff hit of up to $150 million this year.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.
