Deutsche Bank resumed coverage of Lululemon with a Hold rating and $228 price target. The firm resumed coverage of global brands, off-price, and specialty beauty retail. Following a "surprisingly strong" year for retail, Deutsche is entering 2026 with optimism as it anticipates a "volatile but broadly risk-on" macro environment, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm sees solid top-line trends, particularly in the first half of the year, due to easier weather comparisons and a boost in tax refunds.

Bernstein analyst Aneesha Sherman raised the firm's price target on Lululemon to $205 from $190 and keeps a Market Perform rating on the shares. Despite weak macro and consumer sentiment, Discretionary Goods spend held up in 2025, although the sector overall underperformed the market. The firm sees two specific pockets of opportunity into 2026, namely higher-income exposed names, which outperformed in 2025 and should continue to benefit from stronger consumer sentiment and fiscal stimulus; and clearly dislocated Sportswear brands that have derated despite positive revisions and guidance raises, and should benefit from a continued secular behavioral shift towards Sports Footwear in 2026.

Barclays analyst Adrienne Yih raised the firm's price target on Lululemon to $203 from $189 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm is "constructive" on the specialty retail sector into 2026, citing inventory discipline and macro tailwinds from lower interest rates and gas prices. However, stock selection "is critical as demand uncertainty persists," the analyst tells investors in a research note. Barclays adjusted price targets as part of its 2026 outlook.

UBS analyst Jay Sole reports that the firm's latest annual global athletic wear survey "doesn't give us conviction" that Lululemon's Americas sales growth rate can turn sustainably positive in 2026 as it indicates that U.S. trends likely "stay tough." No matter who the new CEO is, the firm thinks Lululemon will have to invest at least a year of time and effort to return its U.S. business to sustainable sales growth, adds the analyst, who keeps a Neutral rating and $206 price target on the shares.
