Talk about a downward dog.
Lululemon Athletica is dead last among companies in the benchmark S&P 500 this year, Bloomberg notes. The stock is down nearly 10% this week — after its chief product officer resigned and the company said it will revamp product and brand teams — and about 40% this year. The S&P 500 is up 11%.
The company is facing, perhaps, its biggest challenge since the see-through pants scandal of 2013.
SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.
SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.
Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."
The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.
Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.
