Verdict: Hit
Lululemon meldete für Q2 FY2026 (3. September 2026) ein Non-GAAP-EPS von 2,92 USD – weit über der Guidance-Obergrenze von 1,81 USD und dem Vorhersage-Schwellenwert von 1,82 USD. Davon entfielen 0,86 USD/Aktie auf einen Sondereffekt aus Zollrückerstattungen (Tariff Refunds + Zinsen, netto nach Steuern). Selbst ohne diesen Einmaleffekt ergibt sich ein bereinigtes operatives EPS von ca. 2,06 USD – damit liegt auch das 'echte' operative Ergebnis deutlich über 1,82 USD. Die Vorhersage trat somit ein, obwohl der Übertreffer primär durch den unvorhergesehenen Zollrückerstattungseffekt getrieben wurde, nicht durch organisches Wachstum. Umsatz verfehlte die Erwartungen (−4 % YoY auf 2,4 Mrd. USD), weshalb die Aktie nach Börsenschluss ~18 % fiel.

The S&P 500 closed at 7,636.36 on 9 September 2026. Falling below 7,450 by month-end would require a 2.4% decline. Headwinds: Fed rate hike of 25bp on 16 September (CentralBank.Watch: 59% probability), August PPI above expectations (+5.4% YoY), Iran-Gulf risk premium. Stabilizing factors: hike largely priced in (Polymarket: 93% for zero 2026 cuts), Q2 earnings solid, no recession signals. Historically, a single 25bp September hike rarely causes a monthly decline above 2.5%.
