NIKE, Inc. (NKE) - Howard Tubin at RBC Capital Markets

RBC Capital Markets analyst Howard Tubin defends Lululemon's less productive American stores suggesting sales topping $1,000 a square foot company wide is a good problem to have and "..would be very hesitant to bet against Lululemon right now given the opportunities for positive developments ahead." A compelling argument that in my opinion fails to consider the worst case scenario, one in which Nike (NYSE: NKE ), Under Armour (NYSE: UA ) and VF's (NYSE: VFC ) Lucy brand successfully challenges the company's product line while continuing to underperform in the critical U.S market. The road is littered with failed Canadian expansion efforts south of the border. Then again, if the company did a better job connecting the dots, Mr. Tubin's enthusiasm might be more understandable.
