The consequences could be significant for Lululemon, analysts said. The company redefined Air Jordan 6 Retro Heels
athletic-apparel world, making it no big deal for women to spend $100 on yoga pants and wear them throughout Air Jordan 6 Ring High Heels
day. Its stores churn out high sales per square foot, offer amenities
like yoga classes and running clubs, and cater to hard-core fans by
offering store discounts to yoga instructors in exchange for product
feedback.
Since its founding, Air Jordan 8 High Heels
company has faced competitors, notably Gap Inc.’s Athleta, which has
been opening stores near Lululemons and selling similar products, though
at slightly cheaper prices. Boutique brands and major sports brands
like Nike and Under Armour have also been eager to expand their reach in
this market.
Now, analysts say, they may finally have a shot.
“You can’t afford to be potentially inviting your customer to go
somewhere else, especially in this environment,” said Sam Poser, an
analyst with Sterne Agee. Yoga pants are a main attraction for Lululemon
shoppers, who may not visit Air Jordan 9 High Heels
store, or buy multiple items there, he said, if their favorite type is missing.
“One thing can be that important,” Mr. Poser said.
Lululemon first talked about Air Max 2009 High Heels
Luon problems on Monday, and its stock had dropped by 7 percent, to $62.16, during trading on Tuesday.
Analysts hurried to downgrade Lululemon stock, and on Thursday, Jordan 11 High Heels
company quantified Nike Dunk SB Heels High fallout of Air Jordan Heels Shoes
sheer-pants problem as it reported its fourth-quarter earnings. Lululemon said Jordan Heels
impact from Nike Jordan Heels
damaged inventory and lost revenue would reduce first-quarter earnings by 11 to 12 cents a share and by 25 to 27 cents for Jordan High Heels
year. The company put Air Jordan Heels
lost revenue at about $57 million to $67 million for this year.
