What is Lululemon Athletica worth?
On an owner-earnings DCF, Lululemon Athletica's most-likely value is about $269 versus a recent price near $94 (184% below fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$109) with a margin of safety — so the honest verdict here is “Deeply discounted.” Fair value earns its keep only at the extremes, not in the wide middle.
On the financials alone, $94 is below even the no-growth floor ($109); the market's discount — expectations and sentiment beyond the numbers — is pricing in ≈ -1.7%/yr. A bargain only if that pessimism is overdone.
Analysis, not advice. Fair value is a margin-of-safety estimate from a deterministic owner-earnings DCF, not a price target or recommendation. See the full breakdown →
