Breaking: Lululemon Shares Dip 12.80% In Friday's Premarket lululemon athletica inc., (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:LULU ) together with its subsidiaries, designs, distributes, and retails technical athletic apparel, footwear, and accessories for women and men under the lululemon brand in the United States, Canada, Mexico, China Mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, and internationally saw it's shares tanked nearly 15% in Friday's premarket trading after reporting earnings and revenue beats for its fourth-quarter earnings on Thursday. Lululemon beat Wall Street expectations for fiscal fourth-quarter earnings and revenue, but issued 2025 guidance that disappointed analysts. On an Thursday earnings call, CEO Calvin McDonald said the athleticwear company conducted a survey earlier this month that found that consumers are spending less due to economic and inflation concerns, resulting in lower U.S. traffic at Lululemon and industry peers. McDonald said. “There continues to be considerable uncertainty driven by macro and geopolitical circumstances. That being said, we remain focused on what we can control.” In light of that, Shares of the apparel company fell more than 10% in extended trading on Thursday and extended the loss to premarket session dipping 12.80%. Here’s how the company did compared with what Wall Street was expecting for the quarter ended Feb. 2, based on a survey of analysts by LSEG: Earnings per share: $6.14 vs. $5.85 expected Revenue: $3.61 billion vs. $3.57 billion expected Fourth-quarter revenue rose from $3.21 billion during the same period in 2023. Full-year 2024 revenue came in at $10.59 billion, up from $9.62 billion in 2023. Lululemon’s fiscal 2024 contained 53 weeks, one week longer than its fiscal 2023. Excluding the 53rd week, fourth-quarter and full-year revenue both rose 8% year over year for 2024. Lululemon expects first-quarter revenue to total $2.34 billion to $2.36 billion, while Wall Street analysts were expecting $2.39 billion, according to LSEG. The retailer anticipates it will post full-year fiscal 2025 revenue of $11.15 billion to $11.30 billion, compared to the analyst consensus estimate of $11.31 billion. For the first quarter, the company expects to post earnings per share in the range of $2.53 to $2.58, missing Wall Street’s expectation of $2.72, according to LSEG. Full-year earnings per share guidance came in at $14.95 to $15.15 per share, while analysts anticipated $15.31. Technically, shares of Lululemon ( NASDAQ:LULU ) will form a gap down pattern which is a bearish scenario should market session open. However, the RSI at 59 is strong enough to hold the bears in the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement point a level serving as support point for NASDAQ:LULU should selling pressure increase. Analyst Forecast According to 27 analysts, the average rating for LULU stock is "Buy." The 12-month stock price forecast is $394.19, which is an increase of 15.42% from the latest price.

Ford (F) Share Price Drops Following Trump's TariffsFord (F) Share Price Drops Following Trump's Tariffs President Trump has fulfilled his promise to impose tariffs on foreign car manufacturers, introducing a 25% tariff on all cars and light trucks not made in the United States, as well as on "certain auto parts." As reported by Yahoo Finance: "This will continue to drive growth like you've never seen before," Trump stated from the White House on Wednesday while signing the tariff order. The 25% tariffs are set to take effect on 2 April, adding to existing duties. The White House announced that $100 billion in annual tariffs would be collected. Why Have Ford (F) Shares Fallen? Trump’s decision has led to a sharp drop in car manufacturers’ share prices, particularly in Europe. However, shares of American automakers have also declined. Ford (F) shares, according to the price chart, fell by approximately 4% yesterday. This decline is due to the fact that Ford (as well as GM and Stellantis) has manufacturing facilities in Canada, Mexico, and China, which now means higher costs due to the impact of tariffs on supply chains. Technical Analysis of Ford (F) Share Price Chart As we noted when analysing Ford (F) shares on 6 March, Trump's tariff policy previously helped the price recover from a four-year low. However, it now seems that “the pendulum has swung the other way.” Examining the price chart, we can identify three levels that actively interact with the price (some key reversals are marked with an arrow), with the middle level appearing to act as a median for the "pendulum" of market sentiment. From this perspective, we can reasonably assume that: → The $10.25 level continues to act as resistance; → The $9.66 level, acting as a median for Ford (F) price fluctuations, may "attract" the price.

Title: Against the Grain: Exploring the Contrarian Investment CaContrarian investing involves deliberately going against prevailing market sentiment. It's about identifying potentially undervalued assets that the majority of investors might be overlooking or unduly pessimistic about. In the world of heavy industry and commercial vehicles, Volvo Group (AB Volvo) – the manufacturer of trucks, buses, construction equipment, and engines, distinct from the passenger car maker Volvo Cars – presents an interesting case study for potential contrarian investors. While facing headwinds common to cyclical industries, several factors could make Volvo Group an attractive proposition for those willing to look beyond short-term concerns. Why the Market Might Be Hesitant (The Prevailing Sentiment) To understand the contrarian case, we first need to acknowledge why the broader market might be cautious about Volvo Group: Cyclicality: Volvo Group's core markets (trucking, construction) are highly sensitive to economic cycles. Fears of a global economic slowdown or recession often lead investors to sell shares of cyclical companies like Volvo, anticipating decreased demand for new trucks and equipment. Electrification Transition: The shift away from diesel towards electric and potentially hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles is a massive undertaking. It requires significant R&D investment, new manufacturing processes, and faces challenges like charging infrastructure and battery costs. The market may worry about execution risks, high costs impacting profitability, and competition from both established players and new entrants (like Tesla Semi). Geopolitical and Supply Chain Risks: As a global manufacturer, Volvo Group is exposed to geopolitical tensions, trade disputes, and potential disruptions in complex global supply chains, which can impact production and costs. Intense Competition: Volvo operates in highly competitive markets, facing strong rivals like Daimler Truck, PACCAR (Kenworth, Peterbilt, DAF), Traton Group (Scania, MAN), and Caterpillar in construction equipment. The Contrarian Argument: Why Volvo Group Might Be Undervalued A contrarian investor might look past these concerns and focus on Volvo Group's underlying strengths and potential catalysts: Market Leadership and Brand Strength: Volvo Group holds strong market positions globally, particularly in heavy-duty trucks (with brands like Volvo Trucks, Mack Trucks, Renault Trucks) and construction equipment (Volvo CE). The Volvo brand is globally recognized for quality, safety, and reliability, commanding customer loyalty. Proactive Electrification Strategy: Far from being a laggard, Volvo Group has been quite proactive in the transition to zero-emission transport. It is already delivering series-produced electric trucks and construction equipment and is investing heavily in battery technology and fuel cells (e.g., through its cellcentric joint venture with Daimler Truck). A contrarian might argue the market underestimates Volvo's ability to navigate this transition successfully, leveraging its existing scale, dealer network, and customer relationships. Strong Service and Aftermarket Business: A significant portion of Volvo's revenue and profits comes from services, spare parts, and financing. This aftermarket business is generally less cyclical and more stable than new vehicle sales, providing a resilient income stream even during downturns. Financial Health and Shareholder Returns: Historically, Volvo Group has demonstrated robust financial management, generating solid cash flows and often rewarding shareholders with attractive dividends. If the stock price is depressed due to cyclical fears, the dividend yield could become particularly appealing, offering income while waiting for a potential market recovery or re-rating. Potential Undervaluation: The core of the contrarian argument often rests on valuation. If market pessimism has driven Volvo Group's share price down excessively relative to its earnings, cash flow, book value, or future prospects, it could represent a value opportunity. Contrarians believe the market may be overly focused on short-term cyclical risks, ignoring the company's long-term strengths and resilience. Infrastructure Spending Tailwinds: Long-term government initiatives focused on infrastructure renewal and development in various parts of the world could provide a sustained tailwind for Volvo's construction equipment division and, indirectly, for its truck business. Risks Remain It's crucial to remember that contrarian investing is inherently risky. The market's pessimism might be justified. A severe global recession could significantly impact Volvo's earnings. The transition to electrification could prove more costly or difficult than anticipated. Competitive pressures could intensify further. Therefore, thorough due diligence is essential. Conclusion Volvo Group (AB Volvo) presents a potentially compelling case for contrarian investors. While facing legitimate concerns related to economic cycles and the complex transition to electrification, the company possesses significant strengths: market leadership, a strong brand, a robust service business, proactive steps in electrification, and potentially an attractive valuation if market fears are overblown. For investors with a longer-term horizon who believe the market may be too pessimistic about the prospects for heavy commercial vehicles and construction equipment, and who trust in Volvo Group's ability to navigate the ongoing industry transformation, the stock could warrant closer examination as a potential contrarian opportunity. However, as with any investment, especially a contrarian one, detailed analysis of the company's financials, strategy, competitive positioning, and current valuation is critical before making any commitment.

EL: Over Priced Stock, Stuck GrowthEssilor growth has been stuck for the past 10 years. However the stock continue to grow up at unreasonable level. Although the company focus on innovation of smart glasses with Meta, doesn't seems to produce real income growth in the next 5 years. Trade wars and tariffs can significantly impact a company's stock, including Essilor Luxottica. For instance, tariffs on goods imported from China and Mexico could increase production costs, leading to lower profit margin. Additionally, trade-related uncertainty can lead to reduced capital expenditures and slower growth in key markets. The company valuation should be priced around 100 which means 60% possible downfall. Facing stiff competition with China cheap eyewear products that are priced at 1/10th, which are available online at Temu/AliExpress/Alibaba, etc, it would be very difficult for the company to make profit. Especially, in the event of recession and great depression. People do need cheap eyewear product, and China eyewear product fits the bill of majority peoples. Unless the company willing to do massive overhaul and cut the cost drastically. I don't think it can grow up continually. Expect the stock price continue to drop on the long term. It is currently at high dangerous level, it could drop at any time if some bad economic news came out.
