Before Lululemon Athletica’s (LULU) earnings release, all kinds of theories were floated as to why it was a good time to buy the yoga-wear retailer’s beaten down shares, including the international opportunity, its new products and even the extent of the beatdown. Those all proved wrong after Lululemon’s terrible results, but now there’s another reason for hope: Someone might want to buy Lululemon.
ZUMAPRESS.comAt least that’s what was suggested in an article in Bloomberg today, which noted that VFC (VFC), among others, could be interested in buying Lululemon. Sterne Agee’s Sam Poser and Ben Shamsian aren’t buying it:
We continue to assert that the value of the LULU brand comes from the combination of great service and great product. We believe that an acquisition at this time would only further hurt the in-store experience and do more damage to the LULU brand.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Adem Tahiri]
Yet with strong competitors like PVH Corp (NYSE: PVH ) and Ralph Lauren� (NYSE: RL ) for its signature menswear lines, this stock may be stuck in neutral for a bit. Let's take a closer look at both the quarter and the competitive landscape for Perry Ellis International.
- [By Jonas Elmerraji]
Large-cap apparel stock PVH (PVH) is a perfect case in point. While PVH's 18% rally would be stellar performance during a normal year, 2013 has been anything but normal for stock investors, so shares have actually underperformed the broad market by 8.3% since the calendar flipped over to January. But the price action in PVH points to shares making up the difference.
PVH is currently forming a cup and handle pattern, a classic bullish price setup that's formed by a cup-shaped rounding bottom in shares that's followed up by a short-duration channel down. The buy signal comes on a move through the pattern's price ceiling at $135. Since PVH is testing that $135 resistance level this week, we could see a buy signal in PVH sooner rather than later.
LKQ is currently forming a rectangle pattern, a consolidation setup that's formed by a horizontal resistance level above shares at $34 and horizontal support at $31. The rectangle gets its name because it basically "boxes in" shares of a stock -- the break outside of the box is the trade to take. So if LKQ pushes above $34, then it's time to buy.
Even though consolidation setups -- such as the rectangle in LKQ -- move price action sideways, they come with directional bias in tow. Since LKQ's price action leading up to the rectangle was bullish, it's more likely to break out from the setup to the upside. While it's close now, it doesn't become a high-probability trade until $34 gets taken out.
