Indeed, both Piper Sandler and Evercore ISI raised their price targets ahead of earnings. Piper Sandler, led by Anna Andreeva, increased its target from $280 to $315, although it kept a Neutral rating. Nevertheless, based on its research, U.S. sales trends look steady, and new product launches are doing well. As a result, Piper expects the company's Q2 sales guidance to be around 8% growth with earnings per share of about $3.29.
On the other hand, Evercore ISI is more optimistic. The firm, led by 4.5-star Michael Binetti, raised its price target from $320 to $400 and kept an Outperform rating. The analysts believe that Lululemon's new product innovation (especially the Align No Line pant) is starting to catch on and could help U.S. store sales turn positive again over the next few quarters. Because of this momentum, the analysts named Lululemon one of their top five stock picks.
