Lululemon shares dropped as much as 22% in premarket trading after the company cut its earnings per share (EPS) forecast for the full year, despite posting a strong first quarter. The weak outlook for the second quarter and full year raised concerns about tariffs, macroeconomic uncertainty, and slowing sales in China. Analysts highlighted that the lower EPS guidance overshadowed solid Q1 results, marking the first time the company reduced its annual EPS forecast since fiscal year 2014.
