RGA Investment Advisors, an investment management company, released its Q1 2025 investor letter. Here is what the fund said:
“Late in the quarter, we purchased shares in Lululemon athletica inc. (NASDAQ:LULU), despite uncertainty about the tariff situation. Many of you are familiar with the brand. Lulu is a leading athleisure brand and though competition has increased from upstart offerings like Vuori, Alo and Fabletics, the company has continued to maintain relevance and perform admirably. These upstarts have varied approaches, but in aggregate, they have won share with a combination of faster, more tasteful fashion and cheaper prices. Importantly, this share has predominantly come from Nike–the 10,000 pound gorilla of the industry that continues to see negative topline growth. Even within the competitive landscape, it is notable that Vuori and Alo enthusiasts still consider Lulu core to their wardrobe, given the demonstrable quality advantage of the company’s proprietary fabrics. Although Lulu has benefited from dominance in fashion, its core calling has been performance and that segment of the market remains unquestioned.
