Diamond Hill Large Cap Strategy stated the following regarding Lululemon Athletica Inc. (NASDAQ:LULU) in its Q4 2024 investor letter:

“Among our top individual contributors in Q4 were General Motors and new position Lululemon Athletica Inc. (NASDAQ:LULU). Lululemon is a leading technical apparel brand with strong affinity in the Americas and a growing international presence. As competition in the US has increased, investors have questioned whether the brand faces structural challenges — particularly as sales have also slowed recently. However, we believe these challenges in the US are primarily transitory and that lululemon will be able to sustain its margins. Further, we believe lululemon is a high quality, cash-generative company with a clean balance sheet — consequently, we capitalized on what we view as an attractive discount to our estimate of intrinsic value to initiate a position in the quarter. Shares rose in Q4 as the consumer environment in the Americas stabilized, international growth remains outsized and margins have proven resilient.”
