Lululemon Athletica Financial Ratios 2026-2008 | LULU

Brief overview of Lululemon Athletica 's valuation and returns

Current figures are compared with the company's own five-year history for 2022–2026.

The latest available valuation ratios are P/E 12x (median 39.14x), EV/EBITDA 7.62x (median 24.4x), P/S 1.71x (median 4.96x). Multiples are on average 68.8% below their own medians. Shares look cheaper than their recent historical valuation.

Earnings yield calculated as 1/P/E is about 8.3%, showing current profit per unit of share price.

End-period return metrics are ROE 31.8%, ROA 18.7%, ROCE 44.6%. Returns on capital and assets point to efficient economics and a strong internal source of growth.

PEG of 0.45x shows valuation is not outpacing embedded growth. The conclusion depends on earnings durability.

A longer cycle, from 83.4 days to 101.3 days, indicates slower release of cash from operations.

What the ratios show

Lululemon Athletica combines solid capital returns with a discount to its own history. The main question is whether earnings and growth are sustainable.

Multiples are an important financial analysis tool for the company Lululemon Athletica , allowing investors and analysts to quickly assess the company’s value and investment attractiveness based on the ratio of market indicators to the company’s financial performance. Essentially, multiples express how the market values the company relative to its earnings, revenue, equity, or other key metrics.

Advantages of Using Financial Ratios
  • Simplified Data Analysis
    Financial ratios transform large volumes of accounting data into compact and easily interpretable indicators, significantly simplifying the assessment of the company’s condition.
  • Comparability Between Companies
    Multiples standardize financial metrics, enabling objective comparison of companies of different sizes, industries, and market capitalizations.
  • Identification of Trends and Issues
    Regular analysis of ratios helps track the dynamics of financial health, identify strengths and weaknesses of the business, as well as potential risks.
  • Decision Support
    Financial multiples serve as an important tool for investors, creditors, and company management in making investment, credit, and managerial decisions.
  • Accelerated Assessment of Investment Attractiveness
    Ratios allow quick determination of key performance, liquidity, and financial stability indicators, facilitating prompt evaluation of companies’ attractiveness for investments.

Using multiples enables comparison between companies, even if they differ in size or industry, as they standardize financial data into ratios convenient for analysis. This is especially useful for evaluating companies where direct analysis of financial statements may be complex or require in-depth knowledge.
