Waiting for LULU's upcoming earnings report? Some more information:



Lululemon Athletica (LULU) is ready to report earnings on September 01. Here's a few things you should know about before they make the announcement.

Analyst opinions suggest Lululemon Athletica will report an EPS (earnings per share) of $1.85, $1.87 on GAAP basis, on revenue of $1.77B. Over the last 90 days, analysts have lowered estimates 1 time and raised them 23 times.

There are three primary things that LULU bulls will be concerned with. The first is that the reported EPS beat analysts estimates. The second is that the beat is on higher than expected revenues. Third, that the company guides analysts to robust growth going forward. If all check out, the stock should react accordingly.

If you're a bear you'll primarily care about two things. The first is that the reported EPS underperformed analysts estimates. The stock should move on just that news alone. The second is that the report paints a pretty depressing picture of how the company will decelerate or even see a decline in revenues over the following quarters. EPS underperformance, and a negative growth story, those are the things to watch.

Whether you're a bear or bull you'll want to be aware that occasionally a stock's price movement is caused by the analysts' estimates changing from the Q&A call with management, rather than from the earnings report itself. As you see more of these, you'll begin to notice patterns in the runup and rundown of the stock's price.

Shares of LULU were trading at $315.93 as of August 24. Over the last 52-weeks, shares are down -34.97%. A larger percentage here can mean investors have a stronger bullish or bearish outlook on the stock.
