What matters now

  • The rarer combination: high quality (70/100) AND below fair value. That earns a closer look rather than a quick verdict.
  • The price is below even our cautious bear case ($200.04). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
  • The model range is unusually wide ($200.04 to $560.25). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

Analysis

Lululemon Athletica Inc. (LULU) currently trades at $121.77, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $299.63, implying the stock looks roughly 59.4% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 70/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of $430.96 per share, and 23 of the 26 models we run sit above the $121.77 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $30.66, and 3 of the 26 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, Lululemon Athletica Inc. generated revenue of $11.1B at a net margin of 14.2%. Revenue grew 0.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 34.0%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $8.8M. Fundamentals as of Aug 30, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $200.04 (bear case) to $560.25 (bull case); at $121.77, the current price sits below that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 54% below its 52-week high and 4% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at −37% fair-value upside, at 146%, LULU screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2026 figures, and about 7 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $7.16 per share, which is 2.4 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
