The analyst's take on lululemon athletica inc.
lululemon athletica inc. has grown revenue from $2.34B to $11.10B over the last 10 fiscal years, compounding about 20.3% a year. The most recent year was up 4.9%, so growth has cooled from its longer-run pace.
Net margin sits at 14.2%, down 2.9 points year over year on a 56.6% gross margin.
At today's valuation the market is pricing in roughly 3.5% annual free-cash-flow growth — versus the 9.9% it actually delivered over the last five years, so the price is arguably undemanding against what it has already proven. The one thing worth a second look in the filings is receivables growing faster than sales.
