What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Heidi O'Neill, a former Nike executive, was appointed to lead Lululemon Athletica operations on September 8. Prior to her appointment, Lululemon Athletica was managed by two interim co-CEOs. O'Neill subsequently reorganized the senior team, leading to the departure of two long-tenured executives. Lululemon Athletica's Americas business, which accounts for roughly two-thirds of revenue, posted comparable sales down 12% in the quarter ended August 2.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The appointment comes as Lululemon Athletica has seen its stock fall 54% in 2026. The company now expects full-year revenue to fall between 5% and 7%, a sharp contrast to previous growth rates. This decline is attributed to shoppers waiting for markdowns or purchasing from cheaper brands that copied Lululemon's style.

Lululemon Athletica is a Canadian athletic apparel retailer operating in the competitive athletic apparel market.
