There has been some unconfirmed chatter this morning of a $UA bid for Lululemon at $62/share. LULU’s share price soared to $49 on the rumor and holding up rather well on the day. $UA is also looking good on the day with price breaking above the 200 day moving average.
I like the LULU on dips, and $UA looks buyable here into the holiday season. Here are the visuals:

If the rumor had any real legs the stock would be much higher than $48 right now. Color me skeptical. Is UA already at the business stage where organic growth is done and time to move on to acquisitions?
I agree with you Matt. I don’t see it happening, at least not from UA.
VFC much more probable as a buyer of LULU in the future.
Unlikely. They already own Lucy Activewear as a LULU competitor.
Would like to see NKE go for them.
that actually makes a lot of sense. Nike can put Lulu in their premium portfolio, along with Tiger Woods and Maria Sharapova clothing
UA is in the business of killing LULU not buying them.
