IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES<blockquote>LULULEMON 的远期市盈率为 58。图片来源：盖蒂图片社</blockquote> Robust sales, but keep an eye on costs<blockquote>销售强劲，但要注意成本</blockquote> Investors will be paying close attention to management's remarks on the company's supply chain. Several companies are reporting issues with material shortages and rising costs to ship products. Inventory levels for the second quarter should hold clues whether this is an issue at Lululemon. At the end of the last quarter, the company reported $733 million in inventory on hand, a 17% increase from year-ago levels -- something that should ease immediate concerns.<blockquote>投资者将密切关注管理层对公司供应链的言论。多家公司报告了材料短缺和产品运输成本上涨的问题。第二季度的库存水平应该可以提示这是否是 Lululemon 的一个问题。截至上季度末，该公司报告库存为 7.33 亿美元，比去年同期增长 17%，这应该会缓解人们的直接担忧。</blockquote> The good news coming out of supply shortages across the industry is fewer companies are offering discounts and promotions, which means more products are getting sold at, or near, full price. It remains to be seen if higher merchandise margins will be enough to offset increasing costs for materials and freight.<blockquote>整个行业供应短缺带来的好消息是，提供折扣和促销的公司越来越少，这意味着更多的产品以或接近全价出售。更高的商品利润率是否足以抵消不断上涨的材料和运费成本还有待观察。</blockquote> And since supply chain shortages are still being felt across industries, shareholders will want to observe the company's inventory level at the end of Q2. If the company makes robust sales but fails to replenish its inventory, it could hurt sales for the next quarter or two.<blockquote>由于各行各业仍然感受到供应链短缺，股东希望在第二季度末观察该公司的库存水平。如果该公司销售强劲，但未能补充库存，可能会损害未来一两个季度的销售。</blockquote> Revenue increased by 88% in its most&nbsp;recent quarter. Of course, this was compared to weaker figures from the same time last year when many of its stores were still closed. Still, looking back over two years, company-operated store revenue was 3% higher. Meanwhile, e-commerce revenue increased by 55% from last year.<blockquote>最近一个季度的收入增长了 88%。当然，这与去年同期的疲软数据相比，当时该公司的许多商店仍在关闭。尽管如此，回顾过去两年，公司经营的商店收入仍增长了 3%。同时，电子商务收入较去年增长55%。</blockquote> Digital sales still hold key<blockquote>数字销售仍然至关重要</blockquote> Lululemon has a robust digital channel where e-commerce sales totaled 44% of revenue in the most recent quarter. This is relevant as digital sales are direct-to-customer sales that eliminate another retailer in between and hence increases profit margins. In contrast, rival&nbsp;Nike(NYSE:NKE)&nbsp;often sells its products through retailers like&nbsp;Nordstrom&nbsp;and&nbsp;Macy's. Nike has to sell its products to the aforementioned chains at lower prices so they can make a profit, too, and that eats into Nike's margins.<blockquote>Lululemon 拥有强大的数字渠道，最近一个季度电子商务销售额占收入的 44%。这是相关的，因为数字销售是直接面向客户的销售，可以消除中间的另一家零售商，从而提高利润率。相比之下，对手耐克（纽约证券交易所代码：NKE）通常通过零售商销售其产品，例如诺德斯特伦和梅西百货耐克不得不以较低的价格将产品卖给上述连锁店，这样他们也能获利，这侵蚀了耐克的利润。</blockquote> Indeed, Lululemon averaged an operating profit margin of 21.2% over the last decade, while Nike averaged 13.2%. And during the same time, Lululemon is growing revenue at more than double the rate Nike has. The higher profit margin can partly be attributed to its robust digital channel, while the higher growth is partly due to starting from a smaller revenue base.<blockquote>事实上，Lululemon 在过去十年中的平均营业利润率为 21.2%，而 Nike 的平均营业利润率为 13.2%。与此同时，Lululemon 的收入增长速度是耐克的两倍多。较高的利润率部分归因于其强大的数字渠道，而较高的增长部分归因于从较小的收入基础开始。</blockquote> What this could mean for investors<blockquote>这对投资者意味着什么</blockquote> Analysts on Wall Street expect Lululemon to report revenue of $1.33 billion and earnings per share of $1.18 in the second quarter. If the company reports the estimated EPS growth, it would be a 59% increase from the year prior.<blockquote>华尔街分析师预计 Lululemon 第二季度营收为 13.3 亿美元，每股收益为 1.18 美元。如果该公司报告预计每股收益增长，将比上一年增长 59%。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be233d02a651cbd2f9d1a7a769c3cd9d\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1247\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">DATA SOURCE: YCHARTS.<blockquote>数据来源：YCHARTS。</blockquote> With the worst of the pandemic behind it, Lululemon looks to be in a great position. It's trading at a forward P/E of 58, compared to 38 for Nike (see chart). However, the premium could be justified considering Lululemon operates at much better profit margins and grows revenue faster than Nike. Long-term investors can feel good about adding the&nbsp;stock&nbsp;to their portfolio.<blockquote>随着疫情最糟糕的时期过去，Lululemon看起来处于一个很好的位置。它的远期市盈率为 58，而耐克的远期市盈率为 38（见图表）。然而，考虑到 Lululemon 的利润率要好得多，收入增长速度也比耐克快得多，溢价可能是合理的。长期投资者会对将该股票添加到他们的投资组合中感觉良好。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Lululemon Reports Q2 Earnings Today: Will It Maintain Success While Battling Supply Chain Costs?<blockquote>Lululemon 今天公布第二季度收益：它能否在应对供应链成本的同时保持成功？</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nLululemon Reports Q2 Earnings Today: Will It Maintain Success While Battling Supply Chain Costs?<blockquote>Lululemon 今天公布第二季度收益：它能否在应对供应链成本的同时保持成功？</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nMotley Fool2021-09-08 10:50\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nKey Points<blockquote>要点</blockquote> <ul> <li>Analysts on Wall Street expect the company to report revenue of $1.33 billion and earnings per share of $1.18.</li> <li>Lululemon is trading at a premium to Nike.</li> <li>The premium can be justified considering Lululemon's faster growth and better profit margins.</li> </ul> Lululemon Athletica's(NASDAQ:LULU)&nbsp;first quarter sales&nbsp;bounced back&nbsp;from last year's pandemic-induced drop.
