LULU, a stock to watch!Lululemon stock (LULU) has traded down into the $230's for the first time since the COVID-19 Crash of 2020. I believe that LULU is a stock to keep your eye on, for a few reasons.
- The stock is trading at a 20x p/e whereas its historical p/e is in the mid 40's.
- Margins for the company have all been steady, and remain an industry leader.
- Lululemon is still set to see 10% CAGR for EPS in the next 5 years. (consensus)
- The stock is seeing a severe correction, on par with its past decade corrections.
Above is bullish sentiment on LULU, and can be considered the "bull/base case"
Personally, I have not turned bullish on LULU yet, but with the levels it is reaching it has most certainly caught my eye and has been added to my watch list. While the stock is seeing oversold levels, I think the midterm outlook can still remain bearish for Lululemon. Below are reasons why the short/midterm outlook for LULU may not be optimal.
- Weaker forward projections compared to last 5 years.
Though LULU is expecting 10% CAGR EPS for the next 5 years, that is just a fraction of its last 5 year CAGR of 38.55%. While projections are still positive, they have certainly dampened compared to recent years' growth.
- Macroeconomic environment.
Though the economy remains hot/fine for now, there have been warning signs flashing of a rising unemployment figure across the country. With suboptimal economic conditions, the average consumer may cut down on expensive Lululemon clothing.
These Macro conditions may also continue to dampen the economy, which can cause an overall market correction, where LULU would likely follow the sentiment.
Overall, I believe that LULU offers significant reward, but the shorter term horizon is still worrisome for Lululemon and the global economy. Lululemon is a leader in the Retail Trade sector and dominates when it comes to profitability. The stock is definitely one to keep an eye on if it continues to get crushed.
Regarding technicals, I am watching this demand zone around the 200 level. The stock could trend down to this area, and reach close to COVID-19 lows if sentiment does not change. This area could also offer significant R/R for an entry point.
Disclosure: I currently hold no position in LULU stock, and have never been a shareholder.
Oh shoot !Our moon mission candidate of the day guys has to go to Suilama.
If you don’t know, the dev of solama (Sol) took his talents to the Sui blockchain and is attempting to replicate that success on the Sui blockchain.
It just got verified and audited by Cyberscope, a partner of Coinmarketcap and Coingecko. This is bullish, considering it’s relatively new meme.
This is not financial advice, do your due diligence when investing and have a blessed day!
DAL Chart ReviewI recorded this chart review yesterday.
I do like DAL for long term momentum here. As you can see, however, it has been a very difficult stock in the past. Kind of ironic how the hack on MSFT that impacted Delta actually played out to be a bottoming area so far.
Time will tell how this plays out. But I am certainly biased to the upside.
The bull market in Mediterranean rice bowlsWhile many investors spend weeks or even months searching for the next big AI stock, a company from a different sector has quietly taken the spotlight since the start of the year. With Mediterranean rice bowls as their signature offering, CAVA has surged to a market value of $15 billion and has become one of the top-performing stocks of the year up 200% since its IPO and even more than that since the year began.
Here are some quick facts about CAVA and the industry:
Market Value: CAVA is now worth $15 billion.
Stock Performance: CAVA has been one of the top-performing stocks in 2024 despite tech stocks remaining the preferred sector.
Fast-Casual Health: The fast-casual healthy dining sector is rapidly expanding, crushing companies like McDonald's as consumer preference changes.
CAVA's Niche: Mediterranean cuisine, with its focus on fresh ingredients, has resonated with health-conscious consumers. How much further can this go?
Expansion Plans: CAVA is aggressively expanding its footprint, opening new locations across the U.S.
So what's the lesson here? Well, I am not buying or selling this. I am late and missed it! The point of this story is that it can pay to look in other markets when everyone is focused on a specific sector. The biggest wins can come from unexpected places—like a Mediterranean rice bowl.
New Technologies Can Push Stocks to New HighsNYSE:CAT easily moved above the resistance highs from March and out of its sideways trading range, making new highs. The white candle on lower volume was interesting: intraday showed pro traders in control toward the end of the day as retail traders and smaller funds started selling prematurely. A resting pattern would be a lower-risk entry to prepare for the breakout.
Caterpillar, Inc. has new technologies coming to market. The company unveiled its new technologies for mining on Sept 24, 2024. It reports earnings on October 29th. If you are trading or holding this stock, check support levels but be patient.
NTL New Talisman Gold Mines LtdBuying long term position in high risk gold miner today
Exploration company but just purchased plant to start producing gold...
Technically this has bollinger band squeeze at $0.023 cents per share - it definitely is a penny stock! don't think I've ever bought something so low in 20 years...!!
Could have massive reward to risk if it turns profitable i.e. reward to risk >50X
I'm happy to lose the entire investment in this as the potential reward to risk is massive (and very rare...) especially in businesses that are involved in producing something of value that is tangible...
High risk for sure, but I believe they have done 11 years of research and starting to buy equipment to produce so they see value there...
The TRUTH is Pending through BULLISH CYCLESThe truth is pending but my REVERSAL STRADEGY unveils secret truths. Smart Money is playing it out into a rising wedge behind the background. Will it play out this way? maybe it is. They know how we think, if this happens to change then I will update later.
Meanwhile, when it is time for the crash fall, TA data will be accumulating on my end. This data will start printing out in tiny portions the CRASH IS NEAR.
We must understand, that when the crash is near, BITCOIN reads to be in its most bullish conditions which we've never seen before. The world will not stop talking about how bullish Indices, Stocks, and Crypto has been and will be.
I have no doubt many of any sort will be providing feedback to those who listen. These information providers will be on the WHALE's PAYROLL to deceive many to say more than what they shouldn't say and many will follow their advice and just then, the BULLISH FULL MOON will turn into darkness and those who provided feedback, displaying themselves as professional analyst traders, many will not to be found.
Pivot high and pivot low is my strategy, I've retraced. The Ma's work with my pivots. The yellow trend that's dotted is a possible scenario of price movement.
This bullish dragonfly doji has not closed but it's reading out BULLISH MOMENTUM for our coming months.
Beware; after 5 pm Pacific time, a minor downtrend then will reverse, and this may last for some time.
