10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Lululemon Athletica&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>) U.S. growth outlook softened as shoppers embraced new fabric innovations over seasonal basics, pushing catalyst launches into second half of 2025.
JP Morgan analyst Matthew R. Boss downgraded Lululemon from Overweight to Neutral, lowering the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LULU/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast from $303 to $224.</a>
Boss writes that the U.S. product catalyst has been delayed to the second half of 2025 after customers responded well to new fabric innovations, such as Align No Line, Be Calm, Daydrift, and Glow Up, but showed weaker interest in the Updated Core-Seasonal colors, which make up roughly 40% of inventory.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46552343/paccar-ceo-optimistic-about-growth-despite-soft-truckload-market-tariff-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PACCAR CEO Optimistic About Growth Despite Soft Truckload Market, Tariff Concerns</a>
Consequently, second quarter U.S. revenue growth is now forecasted at +1.2% year‑over‑year, down 50 basis points from first quarter&#8217;s +1.7% (equating to a +1.0% two‑year stack), as about 80% of the product assortment faces conversion challenges despite second half of 2024 inventory investments designed to accelerate growth into first quarter of 2025.
Management plans further the second half of 2025 investments, expanding Align No Line to all stores by September and using air freight to speed inventory deliveries, citing confidence in first quarter metrics and the U.S. women&#8217;s business.
Boss writes that, alongside product assortment conversion headwinds, management noted in its 10‑Q that Americas same‑store sales growth was constrained by softened store traffic amid a &#8220;more cautious, discerning consumer&#8221; in a &#8220;not ideal&#8221; U.S. macro backdrop, where first quarter visits fell versus fourth quarter and spending weakened, and highlighted a slowdown in the core U.S. premium activewear market, with Euromonitor forecasting only 1.0% growth in U.S. sports apparel for 2025/26 versus 11.0% in FY21-FY24.
From an analyst&#8217;s perspective, Lululemon&#8217;s international market penetration remains a significant growth opportunity, particularly as the company aims to scale brand awareness globally. However, recent analyses suggest a more normalized pace of growth in China Mainland, a market previously seen as a robust driver.
Domestically, in the U.S. market, product assortment challenges have led to increased markdowns and a more subdued revenue growth trajectory for the athleisure giant. These internal issues, combined with higher fixed cost leverage hurdles across both operating expenses and selling, general, and administrative (SG&amp;A) expenses, are expected to further constrain Lululemon&#8217;s multi-year margins. Consequently, these factors have led to a Neutral rating.
Price Action: LULU shares are trading higher by 0.41% to $224.02 at last check Tuesday.

These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Some analysts will also offer forecasts for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide further guidance on stocks. Investors who use analyst ratings should note that this specialized advice comes from humans and may be subject to error.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Lululemon Athletica 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Analysts from Jefferies have expressed concerns about&nbsp;Lululemon Athletica Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>) moving away from its foundational yoga-inspired ethos, a shift that could potentially pose risks to the company&#8217;s business.
What Happened: Jefferies analysts, after visiting two Lululemon outlets in Westport, Connecticut, and Coral Gables, Florida, identified issues with the brand&#8217;s product line. They observed that Lululemon was heavily relying on large logos and moving significantly away from its yoga origins. The analysts commented, &#8220;LULU&nbsp;continues to stray further away&nbsp;from its yoga-inspired roots to&nbsp;designs similar to general apparel&nbsp;brands like the Gap (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GAP#NYSE">GAP</a>),&#8221;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/lululemon-problems-jefferies-analysts-logos-sales-colors-2025-7">reported</a>&nbsp;Business Insider.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/lulu" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LULU stock here</a>.
Chip Wilson, the founder and ex-CEO, supported the analysts&#8217; concerns in a Forbes interview earlier this year, stating that the brand&#8217;s offerings were becoming similar to the Gap.&nbsp;
The brand&#8217;s attempts&nbsp;to add new colors and&nbsp;products to address its product struggles resulted in a &#8220;disjointed assortment that&#8217;s failing to convert,&#8221; the analysts noted.&nbsp;This resulted in a 2% decline in Lululemon's comparable sales in the Americas during the first quarter of 2025, along with over 36% plunge in its stock value since the start of the year.
&#8220;Color Palette Goes Sesame Street,&#8221; observed the analysts 
The Jefferies note also highlighted the large volume of discounted items both in stores and online, indicating difficulties with sell-through and a reliance on markdowns to reduce excess inventory.
They also pointed out that the&nbsp;new designs at the two&nbsp;stores featured &#8220;loud&nbsp;colors and large logos in&nbsp;an attempt to sell beyond&nbsp;their core customer and attract&nbsp;younger shoppers,&#8221; which could potentially alienate Lululemon&#8217;s base consumers.

Why It Matters: These concerns from analysts came soon after Lululemon filed a lawsuit against Costco (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>), accusing the retailer of copying designs from some of its best-selling products.
Lululemon&#8217;s recent struggles with its product offerings and sales come on the heels of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45803189/lululemon-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-shares-tumble-on-weaker-earnings-forecast">strong first-quarter </a>performance. The company reported a revenue of $2.37 billion, beating the consensus estimate. However, the stock tumbled after the company&#8217;s weaker earnings forecast.
Following the disappointing guidance, Lululemon&#8217;s stock continued to slide, with analysts&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/price-target/25/06/45819605/lululemon-stock-tumbles-after-outlook-disappoints-tariffs-markdowns-flagged-by-analysts">flagging</a>&nbsp;tariffs and markdowns as potential issues. The recent report by Jefferies adds to the growing concerns about Lululemon&#8217;s future performance and its ability to maintain its brand identity in the face of increasing competition.

Lululemon's Shift From Yoga-Inspired Roots May Be The Cause Of Dipping Comparable Sales, Warn Analysts: 'Color Palette Goes Sesame Street'

Live On CNBC, Brian Belski Announces Sold Nike; Sold Prologis; Announces Bought Lululemon Athletica

I just wrapped up a deep dive into what I'm calling the "real report card" for 2025 so far…and the results might surprise you.
Some tech names are ripping, while others are getting absolutely crushed. I'm talking over 100% rebounds on stocks like Coinbase (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) and nearly 50% haircuts on household names like Lululemon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>).
So today, I want to break down exactly what's leading and what&#8217;s lagging as we enter the second half of the year, how I'm trading both sides of the tape using simple, strategic spreads and why I think the biggest opportunities right now lie in playing both ends of the market.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">60% Off Benzinga Pro &#8211; July 4th Week Only</h2>
Stop drowning in noise from scattered trading sources that don't work together. Get our exclusive Benzinga Wire stories, filtering that actually works with everything integrated in one platform. Cut through the noise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register/4th-of-july-sale/?utm_campaign=bzpro-4th&amp;el=ResearchDaily&amp;he={{email}}&amp;adt_ei={{email}}&amp;utm_adType=SponsorAd&amp;utm_ad=RD070425">HERE</a> (60% Off).
Let&#8217;s start with what&#8217;s working.
I ran my latest scans across the top 425 most liquid optionable stocks (out of tens of thousands) to see who is sitting at their year-to-date highs and who is sitting at the lows.
The winners? They're almost all in tech and exchanges.
Micron (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>), Cisco (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), Robinhood (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>), Paramount (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>) and Coinbase are all trading at or near their 25-week highs, and they're telling a clear story about where strength is showing up in this market.
We've got semiconductors, legacy tech, disruptive fintech, crypto infrastructure and streaming media all making the list.
That's not random.
MU and CSCO represent two ends of the tech spectrum—one a chipmaker riding the AI and memory boom, the other a networking heavyweight benefiting from increased infrastructure spend. Both are showing signs of quiet accumulation.
HOOD and COIN are riding the same tailwind: a resurgence in retail interest and the rebound in crypto. COIN, in particular, has been a standout. It's already doubled since bottoming out in early April, making it one of the biggest comeback stories in the market right now. That kind of V-shaped move tells me institutional money is quietly stepping back in.
And then there's Paramount. With ongoing rumors and a push toward streaming consolidation, PARA has become a speculative favorite in certain corners of the market.
Now, when you zoom out and look at this group as a whole, there's a clear theme: Capital is flowing back into high-leverage, high-beta names—but it's doing so selectively. This isn't a broad-based rally. It's precise. And it's rotating into names with clear catalysts, strong relative strength and just enough volatility to make the options worth trading.
That's exactly the type of setup I look for.
It's the kind of strength that doesn't happen by accident, the kind that has real momentum behind the crypto comeback. And COIN is acting as a high-beta proxy for Bitcoin itself.
So, let's talk strategy.
When I pulled this data, COIN was trading around $309. The August 310 calls were going for about $31, roughly 10% of the stock price. That&#8217;s a bit rich for a single-leg call.
So, how do we lower cost and risk?
By structuring a call spread. For example, buying the 310 and selling the 320 call could be done for around $5. That cuts your risk nearly in half and sets up a clean 1:1 reward-to-risk ratio if COIN climbs another 10 points. And if you prefer something more aggressive? Using the 330 and 340 calls in this spread instead could cost you as little as $3 and up to $7 in potential upside (although you&#8217;d need a bigger move to get there).
That's how we use the market's pricing inefficiencies to our advantage. But what about the losers?
Tilray (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLRY#NASDAQ">TLRY</a>), JD.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>), Lululemon and Luminar (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LAZR#NASDAQ">LAZR</a>) are sitting at the bottom of the pile, each trading at or near their 25-week lows. And while names like Tilray are already so beaten down that further downside may be limited, LULU caught my eye.
This is still an expensive stock, with real room to fall.
After a rough series of earnings, LULU has slipped from over $420 earlier this year to around $227. Even with better-than-expected numbers, the stock has struggled to recover, and that's not a good sign.
So, how do we position ourselves for further weakness?
The 225 puts are going for about $8. But opening a 225/220 put spread would only cost a little over $2. That caps risk, improves breakeven, and still leaves the door open for a potential double.
We'll soon take a deeper dive into the best trading strategies of the year. But first, I wanted to give you an example of the power in blocking out the noise of the 24/7 news cycle – and understanding what the market is really doing beneath the surface.
Whether it's a tech breakout like Coinbase or a weak rebound like Lululemon, the opportunities are there—you just need to know where to look and how to trade them smartly.

How I'm Trading 2025's Biggest Winners And Losers

Economist Peter Schiff is calling out President Donald Trump&#8217;s newly announced trade deal with Vietnam, warning that American consumers are likely to bear the brunt of the agreement.
What Happened: On Thursday, in a post on X, Schiff criticized the deal, saying that it gives Vietnamese consumers an upper hand while leaving American shoppers worse off. 
Schiff didn't hold back when declaring &#8220;Americans are losers and Vietnamese are winners&#8221; under the new trade deal, saying that U.S. consumers will end up paying more for Vietnamese imports, while buyers in Vietnam gain cheaper access to American goods.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/46128469/nike-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-headwinds-expected-to-moderate-moving-forward-company">Nike Q4 Earnings: Revenue Beat, EPS Beat, Headwinds Expected To Moderate Moving Forward, Company Playing &#8216;Sport Offense&#8217;</a>
He says this about consumers in both nations, &#8220;relative to their positions under Biden,&#8221; which essentially means to say that Americans are worse off, while the Vietnamese are better off than they were last year, as a result of this deal.
Here, Schiff is referring to the terms of the new agreement, according to which the U.S. will charge 20% on all imports from Vietnam, while the latter will not charge anything on American imports. 
The U.S. will also be imposing a steeper 40% tariff on goods that pass through Vietnam, a process known as trans-shipment. This move is aimed at tackling Chinese goods that flow through Vietnam, while sporting the label &#8220;Made In Vietnam,&#8221; according to a report by Reuters.

<h3>The Importance of Insider Transactions</h3>
In the complex landscape of investment decisions, investors should approach insider transactions as part of a comprehensive analysis, considering various elements.
Exploring the legal landscape, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Highlighted by a company insider's new purchase, there's a positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
But, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Exploring Key Transaction Codes</h3>
When analyzing transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase,while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Options Exercise: Calvin McDonald At Lululemon Athletica Realizes $3.62M

Lululemon Athletica Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) on Friday, alleging the warehouse retailer violated intellectual property rights by selling &#8220;knockoff&#8221; versions of its popular athletic wear.
What Happened: The Canada-based athleisure company accused Costco of selling unauthorized apparel that infringes on design patents for its ABC pants line, Define jacket collection, and Scuba zip-ups and hoodies, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/nexstar_media_wire/5377499-costco-accused-of-selling-knockoffs-of-popular-athleisure-brands-clothes-lawsuit/">reported</a> The Hill. Lululemon claims Costco &#8220;unlawfully traded upon Plaintiffs&#8217; reputation, goodwill and sweat equity&#8221; through these alleged knockoffs.
The lawsuit specifically targets items sold under Costco&#8217;s private-label Kirkland brand, suggesting the retailer may be intentionally confusing customers into believing Lululemon supplies the clothing. Lululemon seeks unspecified monetary damages and an injunction to halt the sale of the disputed products.

Why It Matters: The lawsuit comes as Costco faces investor scrutiny over recent performance metrics. The retailer reported $20.97 billion in May sales, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45801312/costco-stock-falls-nearly-4-after-may-sales-report-despite-solid-growth">up 6.8% year-over-year</a>, but shares fell nearly 4% after the announcement. U.S. comparable sales growth of 5.5% missed JPMorgan&#8217;s 7% estimate, marking a rare miss for the warehouse giant.
Costco <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/25/06/45981744/15-analysts-assess-costco-wholesale-what-you-need-to-know">operates over 600 U.S. warehouses</a>, holding more than a 60% market share in the domestic warehouse club industry. The company&#8217;s membership-based model relies on high-volume sales at thin margins, making private-label products crucial for profitability.
Recent analyst coverage <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/25/06/45981744/15-analysts-assess-costco-wholesale-what-you-need-to-know">shows 13 of 15 analysts</a> rate Costco as Outperform or Buy, with an average price target of $1,084.47.
