Did LULU Beat Earnings? Q3 2026 Results
Lululemon posted a stronger-than-expected third quarter for fiscal 2025, delivering earnings per share of $2.59 against a consensus estimate of $2.21, a 17.27% beat, while revenue of $2.57 billion topped the $2.48 billion estimate by 3.57% and grew 7… Read more Lululemon posted a stronger-than-expected third quarter for fiscal 2025, delivering earnings per share of $2.59 against a consensus estimate of $2.21, a 17.27% beat, while revenue of $2.57 billion topped the $2.48 billion estimate by 3.57% and grew 7.1% year-over-year. The standout driver was international momentum, with China Mainland comparable sales surging 24% and Rest of World up 9%, even as the Americas remained a persistent drag with comparable sales declining 5%. Yet the headline numbers came wrapped in complexity: gross margin contracted 290 basis points to 55.6% and diluted EPS actually fell from $2.87 a year ago, underscoring that recent profitability pressures are far from resolved. The quarter was further clouded by CEO Calvin McDonald's announced departure, with interim co-CEOs stepping in during a leadership search. Looking ahead, the company guided Q4 revenue to $3.50 to $3.58 billion and full-year diluted EPS to $12.92 to $13.02, with guidance absorbing an estimated $210 million operating income hit from tariffs and the removal of the de minimis exemption.
Key Takeaways
- • Strong international growth, particularly China Mainland comparable sales up 24% (25% constant dollar)
- • International net revenue increased 33% year-over-year
- • 12 net new company-operated stores opened during the quarter, ending with 796 stores
- • Total comparable sales increased 1% (2% on constant dollar basis)
