It now <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://uk.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/lululemon-athletica-raises-q4-guidance-to-meet-analyst-consensus-shares-dip-432SI-3290030" target="_blank">expects </a>revenue in the range of $3.17 billion to $3.19 billion. This is higher than its previous guidance of $3.135 billion to $3.17 billion and is a 14% to 15% increase from the same period the prior year.  </p><p>The retailer's earnings per share for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2023 is now expected in between $4.96 to $5.00 which is higher than its previous guidance and what analysts were expecting. The revised guidance higher shows that Lululemon had an impressive holiday season, with chief financial officer Meghan Frank stating they are pleased with how they performed.  </p><p>In 2023, Lululemon's share price ended more than 59% higher and recorded a new all-time high. While more analysts have a buy rating on the stock, with some suggesting to hold and even one sell, as seen from the analyst forecasts below, the all-time high price level of $516.00 is around the average price target.  </p><p>Some analysts believe the stock may have peaked while some say there is still room to grow. For example, in September Lululemon announced a five-year partnership deal with Peloton which will market its clothing items in-store. A key growth area is international expansion as international revenue only accounts for 16% of total revenue. However, there are no announcements of expansion yet and most of the known growth plans are probably priced into the stock already which may limit any upside potential.</p><p>Keeping track of Lululemon's growth plans for 2024 is important as it will have a direct impact on whether investors believe more value could be unlocked in its share price. Lululemon's next earnings update is on 26 March 2024. </p><h2 aria-level="2">Lululemon Stock Forecast – What do the Analysts Say?</h2><p>According to analysts polled by TipRanks for a Lululemon stock forecast in the past 3 months, there are currently 22 buy, 4 hold and 1 sell ratings on the stock. The highest price level for a Lululemon stock forecast is $610.00 with the lowest price target at $408.00. </p><p>The average price target for a Lululemon stock forecast is $518.00.</p><figure><a href="https://admiralmarkets.com/analytics/traders-blog/trading-idea-lululemon-revised-guidance-q3-2023"><picture class="lozad" data-iesrc="https://fxmedia.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/analyst_stock_price_forecast_and_rating_lululemon_shares.PNG" data- data- data-alt="analyst stock price forecast and rating lululemon shares" data-height="439" data-width="1010"><source type="image/webp" media="(min-width: 640px)" srcset="https://dynamic-images.admiralmarkets.com/720x,webp/fxmedia.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/analyst_stock_price_forecast_and_rating_lululemon_shares.PNG"></source><source type="image/webp" media="(max-width: 639px)" srcset="https://dynamic-images.admiralmarkets.com/375x,webp/fxmedia.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/analyst_stock_price_forecast_and_rating_lululemon_shares.PNG"></source></picture></a>

<li>Buy the stock on a break above $518.00 to allow for volatility. </li>
<li>Target just below the highest analyst price target of $610.00. </li>
<li>Keep your risk small at a maximum of 5% of your total account.   </li>
<li>Time Line = 1 – 6 months  </li>
<li>If you buy 10 Lululemon shares:  
<ul>
<li>If target is reached = $920.00 potential profit [($610.00 – $518.00) * 10 shares].</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul><p>Remember that markets go up and down and it is unlikely the share price will move up in a straight line. In fact, it may even go much further down before it rises, especially considering the uncertainty around Lululemon's future plans and investments.</p><p>Be sure to exercise good risk management and always know how much you could potentially lose on a trade and the risks involved, as well as the costs.</p><p>With the Admirals <a href="https://admiralmarkets.com/start-trading/admiral-invest-stocks-and-etfs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Invest.MT5</a> account you can buy and sell US stocks with a commission from $0.02 per share. This means buying 10 shares in Lululemon stock would result in a commission of $0.20 ($0.02 * 10 shares) for executing a per-side transaction.</p><p>There is a low minimum transaction fee of $1. So, the example trading idea above would result in a commission of just $1 overall! </p><h2 aria-level="2"><span lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB" data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-para>How to Buy </span><span data-ccp-para> Lululemon</span><span data-ccp-para> Stock in 4 Steps </span></span><span data-ccp-props='{"201341983":0,"335559738":40,"335559739":0,"335559740":259}'> </span></h2><p><span lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB" data-contrast="none"><span><span lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB" data-contrast="none"><span><span lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB" data-contrast="none"><span>With Admirals, you can buy shares in companies like Lululemon</span><span> with a low commission of just $0.02 per share and a low minimum commission of just $1 on US stocks. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p><ol>
