| Sharek’s Take | ||
 Lululemon’s profit estimates continue to deteriorate. Now 2014 profits are expected to be around what 2013’s were. That’s no growth. No growth for 28 times earnings. Plus the stock market is in a correction right now, and lots of other stocks I want to buy are on sale. I’m going to sell my LULU shares from the Growth Portfolio today. This isn’t a big deal, LULU was the smallest position in my portfolio anyway. |
||
| One-Year Chart | ||
 0% profit growth last quarter, Estimates show 0% next quarter. A P/E of 28 is high for this stock, which I feel should sell for 20 times earnings. Plus, the stock’s not at a bad spot to sell at, its off its lows. |
||
| Earnings Table | ||
 No profit growth and only 7% sales growth? If sales were growing 15% I could see staying with the stock, but not 7%.
Lululemon missed estimates by two cents but was worse is the company slashed quarterly estimates going forward. Quarterly estimates look terrible. |
||
| Fair Value | ||
 And after all that red in the Earnings Table, the stock is also overvalued. |
||
| Ten-Year Chart | ||
 Back when LULU was making its big run higher, the company was beating the street and upping annual estimates. It was a textbook example. That’s what fueled the run. Those days are long-gone. |

Growth Portfolio
N/A |
Lululemon is a stock I’ll continue to watch, as annual estimates could rebound eventually. But right now the stock seems high and I can use the money for other stocks I like better. LULU will be sold from the Growth Portfolio today. It isn’t in the Aggressive Growth Portfolio. |
