Lululemon Shares Plunge on Weak Demand, Tariff Concerns
Lululemon, a popular athletic wear company, is facing tough times.
Its stock price dropped significantly because people aren't buying as much as before, and new trade policies are costing the company a lot of money.
These policies are like extra taxes, making it harder to sell goods.
The company is lowering its sales expectations for the year and is trying to make changes to deal with these issues.
Also, competition has increased because of new brands on the market, and the brand is now considered the brand that other, younger labels look to hunt and take share from.
Lululemon shares fell 19% in premarket trading.
The company expects a $240 million hit from tariff changes.
Lululemon lowered its Q3 sales projections.
Comparable sales growth in Q2 was only 1%.
The company laid off 150 corporate employees.
