Buy Lululemon Athletica (LULU) on Any Weakness Tied to Chip Wilson Liquidation, Sterne Agee CRT Says

Sterne Agee CRT analyst Sam Poser said they would buy Lululemon Athletica Inc. (NASDAQ: LULU) on any weakness tied to Chip Wilson's 424(b)(3) filing to liquidate 20.1M shares (14% of the total 142.3M diluted shares outstanding) at $60.95/share, his entire stock in the company.

Poser continues to rate LULU a Buy for the following reasons:

• The divestiture finally eliminates Mr. Wilson's disruptive influence over the company (this is very good news)
• This filing does absolutely nothing to change our thesis that the initiatives to improve the product and in-store experience are underway and will likely reestablish LULU as the pinnacle of the active-wear space and the necessary investments are being made in 2015 to support the global growth of the brand
• Any weakness in the stock this morning represents a buying opportunity
