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.
