The rise was mainly because of a net increase in product margin of 110 bps, comprising a net increase of 130 bps due to reduced product costs and increased average unit retail, and lower damages, partially offset by elevated freight costs, and an unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates of 20 bps.

Diamond Hill Capital, an investment management company, released its Q1 2025 investor letter. Here is what the fund said:

“Other bottom contributors in Q1 included Lululemon athletica inc. (NASDAQ:LULU), General Motors and Capital One. Shares of athletic apparel manufacturer lululemon were pressured amid ongoing concerns about potential brand saturation in the Americas, its largest market. However, we believe the company is operating well and is positioned to improve US sales performance while continuing to grow international sales — factors that make the current valuation compelling, in our view.”
