CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Lululemon announced Heidi O'Neill as its next CEO effective September 8, 2026, following a search process after Calvin McDonald's departure in January amid pressure from founder Chip Wilson and activist investor Elliott Management. O'Neill brings over 30 years of performance apparel experience, including 25+ years at Nike where she helped grow the company from a $9B to $45B global leader and most recently served as President, Consumer, Product & Brand. We are in favor of the decision and believe her extensive Nike background and current board positions at Spotify, Hyatt, and Lithia & Driveway make her a well-rounded candidate to guide the turnaround at lululemon. Shares fell 5% in after-hours trading as investors digest the announcement, most likely due to Nike's share decline during her recent tenure there. Her experience overseeing Nike's global consumer and product engine, resetting brand foundation, and reducing product development timelines should accelerate speed to market at LULU.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:HXL posted Q1 adjusted EPS of $0.59 vs. $0.37 prior year, $0.15 above consensus, on sales of $501.5M (+9.9% Y/Y), beating consensus by $18M. Commercial Aerospace sales rose 18.8% Y/Y to $332.7M, led by A350, A320neo, 787, and 737 MAX programs as destocking pressures abated. The results validate our multiyear thesis on operating leverage, with 59.5% EPS growth on sub-10% sales growth as volumes recover into existing capacity. Management reaffirmed 2026 guidance for sales of $2.0B-$2.1B and adjusted EPS of $2.10-$2.30 despite geopolitical uncertainties. Adjusted operating margin expanded 360 bps Y/Y to 13.5%, demonstrating substantial fixed cost leverage. We believe HXL is well positioned to capture incremental revenue from sole-source contracts without material capacity additions, with line of sight to mid-30s incremental margins through 2027, though sustained progress remains contingent on OEM execution and supply chain stability.
