- For LULU, Technicals were aligning but fundamentals haven't bottomed yet. Company is struggling with assortments mix i.e existing products are not refreshing enough for buyers.

- There could be more reasons for softness in demand in the US because of competition like ALO or consumer is actually weak and isn't spending hundreds for clothing.

- SIlverlining, their international expansion is working especially in China. I believe it's because LULU being an international brand has some brand value in Asia like china whereas American consumers have more option or their tastes have changed.

- For US consumers, they gotta experiment if giving discounts brings back customers if so then margin compression or if they refresh their product cycle which stimulate the demand organically.

- If LULU C- suite is smart then they should consider buying back stock as much as they can. This will boost the EPS significantly and hopefully sustain 15% per year.
