Here’s whether lululemon athletica inc. (LULU) is worth buying in 2026 —
based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs.
the S&P 500. Our current read: Caution.
🟡
Caution
Positives: above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); RSI 46 — healthy momentum range. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); 50-day MA is falling (-0.67% over 10 days); weak 1-year return of -38.9%. Currently 46.4% off its 52-week high. Score: -2/7.
LULU is trading below its 200-day MA ($155.27) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 45.9 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -38.9% compares to +20.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 59.4%). The current 46.4% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
