Analysts from Jefferies have expressed concerns about Lululemon Athletica Inc. (NASDAQ:LULU) moving away from its foundational yoga-inspired ethos, a shift that could potentially pose risks to the company’s business.

What Happened: Jefferies analysts, after visiting two Lululemon outlets in Westport, Connecticut, and Coral Gables, Florida, identified issues with the brand’s product line. They observed that Lululemon was heavily relying on large logos and moving significantly away from its yoga origins. The analysts commented, “LULU continues to stray further away from its yoga-inspired roots to designs similar to general apparel brands like the Gap (NYSE:GAP),” reported Business Insider.
