Better Stock Buy: Lululemon Athletica vs. Nike
Investors have vastly different expectations for (NYSE: NKE) and Lululemon Athletica (NASDAQ: LULU). While they compete in some of the same athletic apparel niches, one is growing sales at a robust pace and is boosting its profit margins at the same time. The other has seen shrinking demand even as price cuts pressure its earning power.
These differing growth paths have made Nike stock seem like an obvious deal compared to its faster-growing industry peer. However, price isn't the only factor worth considering when comparing these retailers. With that in mind, let's see which stock is really the better buy today.
There's a lot of daylight between these two retailers when it comes to growth. Nike reported just a 1% year-over-year sales uptick in the most recent quarter while Lululemon achieved 19% gains.
