Better Buy: Lululemon Athletica vs. Nordstrom

The coronavirus outbreak slapped most nonessential retailers with a disastrous first half of the year. Temporary store shutdowns meant shoppers couldn't enter stores and make purchases, and consumers' worries about mounting job losses and their focus on stocking pantries meant many weren't in the mood to shop for clothing and accessories anyway.

Luckily for retailers, some shoppers did continue buying -- online. And that was the bright spot in recent earnings from Lululemon Athletica (NASDAQ: LULU) and Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN). Today, as both retailers emerge from store shutdowns and work to get back on track, which one represents the better buy?
