Early this morning, prior to the announcement by LULU, we published a TPR Earnings report.

Here was our take:

Lululemon tends to surprise to the upside most times on EPS and revenue. At any sign of a miss, we could quickly rule out getting long this position and we could look to get short. There is not a whole lot of volume support to the downside on this position so it could move down rather violently.

However, with LULU’s track record, it is very possible to see a nice beat and a move higher in the security. We will be looking for greater than $0.58 on EPS, $387 Million of sales and positive forward-looking guidance in order to get long in the pre-market. Anything short of this could move the stock lower.
