Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Jeremy Bowman]

  lululemon atheltica (NASDAQ: LULU  ) shares tumbled again today, finishing down 16% after the yoga retailer cut its forecast in its quarterly report this morning. The weak guidance was just the latest bit of bad news for the once high-flying Canadian company, which has seen shares fall by more than 50% since last summer, and hit a three-year low on today's news. After a 2013 that featured a massive product recall, the surprise resignation of its CEO, and embarrassing remarks by its founder, the company said today that same-store sales fell for the second quarter in a row. They also forecast a decline in full-year adjusted EPS at $1.71-$1.76 against the analyst consensus at $1.89. The earnings report comes amid more management concerns as founder Chip Wilson said yesterday that he voted against the company's Chairman and one of its directors in board elections, and CFO John Currie said today that he w! ould retire at the end of the year. Wilson's announcement, in particular, seems to indicate that lululemon is still well off track, following last year's problems.
