Shares of Lululemon Athletica Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>) were trading sharply lower on Friday despite the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45810084/lululemon-stock-crashes-nearly-21-in-friday-pre-market-whats-going-on" target="_blank" rel="noopener">upbeat first-quarter results on Thursday</a>.
The announcement came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
Truist Securities On Lululemon Athletica
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/655796fc7f07f10001c9da96/joseph-civello">Analyst Joseph Civello</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating, while reducing the price target from $297 to $290.
Lululemon Athletica's stock came under significant pressure due to management's disappointing outlook for the second quarter and a lowering of their full-year guidance, Civello said in a note. Although the company reiterated its 2025 sales guidance of $11.15 billion-$11.3 billion, it cut its earnings outlook by 2.5% to a range of $14.58-$14.78 per share, versus its previous projection of $14.95-$15.15 per share, he added.
The softer earning outlook reflects a gross margin contraction of around 110 basis points (bps), compared to 60bps previously, the analyst stated. This not only incorporates tariff-related headwinds, "but also includes modestly more markdown pressure than the company was contemplating before," he further wrote.
BofA Securities On Lululemon Athletica
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59947083803ad3000162314b/lorraine-hutchinson">Analyst Lorraine Hutchinson</a> reiterated a Buy rating, while cutting the price target from $400 to $370.
Lululemon Athletica sales plans are "on track" and the product launches in the first half of the year are likely to scale in the second half, Hutchinson said. She added, however, that the company's second-quarter earnings guidance of $2.85-$2.90 per share came significantly below consensus of $3.28.
"Management has not seen an increase in markdowns but embedded some caution in the outlook given slowing traffic trends and macro uncertainty," the analyst wrote. While Lululemon Athletica&#8217;s sales growth in China has slowed, the company still expects a 25%–30% increase this year, she added.

Needham On Lululemon Athletica
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5846ee56ee7bf6000154d12e/tom-nikic">Analyst Tom Nikic</a> maintained a Buy rating, while reducing the price target from $366 to $317.
Although Lululemon Athletica's first-quarter results were "fairly lackluster," the pressure on the shares "seems aggressive" compared to the extent of the guidance cut, Nikic said.
"That said, the domestic business remains sluggish and international comp growth slowed dramatically in Q1, likely raising questions about the growth algo from here," the analyst wrote.
JPMorgan On Lululemon Athletica
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/586bcbd9351b9b0001ab738c/matthew-boss">Analyst Matthew Boss</a> reiterated an Overweight rating while slashing the price target from $389 to $303.
Lululemon Athletica reported earnings of $2.60 per share, beating the consensus and its own guidance of $2.53-$2.58 per share, Boss said. The earnings beat was driven by marginally higher revenue growth of 7.3% year-on-year and gross margin expansion, he added.
Management indicated that trends so far in the second quarter had remained in line with the first quarter, the analyst stated. "In addition, management cited expectations to build on momentum from new product launches, including the Align No-Line legging, with plans to scale distribution to the full fleet by September," she further wrote.
LULU Price Action: Shares of Lululemon Athletica had declined by 19.92% to $264.88 at the time of publication on Friday.

BMO Capital Maintains Market Perform on Lululemon Athletica, Lowers Price Target to $250

The European Central Bank <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/pr/date/2025/html/ecb.mp250605~3b5f67d007.en.html">lowered its key deposit rate</a> by 25 basis points to 2% on Thursday, marking the eighth cut since June last year.
The <a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/ecb-cuts-rates-as-current-monetary?r=3nmatg">decision may prove </a>to be the final act in its most aggressive easing cycle since the 2008 global financial crisis, when it cut seven times between October 2008 and May 2009.
"I think we are getting to the end of a monetary policy cycle that was responding to compounded shocks, including Covid, the illegitimate war in Ukraine, and the energy crisis," ECB President Christine Lagarde said at a press conference in Frankfurt.
Lagarde called the decision "nearly unanimous" as the sole dissenting voice was Austria's Robert Holzmann.
The ECB and the Federal Reserve have taken divergent paths in their monetary policies. The ECB has aggressively cut rates, while the Fed has made no cuts in 2025, holding its federal funds rate steady at 4.25%–4.5% since December 2024.
In comparison, in 2008, the ECB initially hiked rates to 4.25% in July, before reversing course in October, eventually arriving at 1% in May 2009. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve was more aggressive, slashing rates from 5.25% in 2007 to near zero by December 2008 and launching quantitative easing.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Inflation Data-Supported Rate Decision</h2>
Eurostat's latest flash estimate showed that annual inflation in the eurozone fell to 1.9% in May, down from 2.2% in April.
Core inflation, which excludes volatile energy and food prices, also moderated to 2.4% from 2.7%. Services inflation—a key driver in recent months—declined notably to 3.2%, its lowest level since early 2023.
"We are in a good position on the basis of the current trade path and with the 25 basis point cut that we decided, so that we can face the uncertainties that are coming our way," Lagarde noted.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F952ffb57-258c-4004-b3ac-ef1958b26b9e_1461x596.png" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F952ffb57-258c-4004-b3ac-ef1958b26b9e_1461x596.png" alt="" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Major central banks&#8217; policy rates since 2024, Source: LSEG / Reuters</figcaption></figure>
With eurozone inflation now back at the ECB's 2% target and growth projections holding steady, the ECB will have a "meeting-by-meeting" stance in the future.
Sources close to the Governing Council <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/ecb-cut-rates-again-case-builds-summer-pause-2025-06-04/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">confirmed</a> to Reuters that the ECB In July meeting will likely pause, with little new data available to justify further action before autumn.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Markets See July Pause Despite Inflation Headwinds</h2>
Markets had a mixed reaction. While fully priced in, investors had anticipated a slightly more dovish tone.
"Markets were hoping—in our view somewhat unreasonably—for an even more dovish outcome, which led yields to sell off and the euro to strengthen," Kaspar Hense, senior portfolio manager at RBC BlueBay, <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://portfolio-adviser.com/ecb-delivers-seventh-consecutive-interest-rate-cut/">said</a>.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff4ca90af-5105-44e7-ba2c-70a0159ab383_1600x682.png" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff4ca90af-5105-44e7-ba2c-70a0159ab383_1600x682.png" alt="" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">German 10-year bond compared to US 10-year bond, year-to-date; Source: TradingView</figcaption></figure>
Outside of the bond market, the reaction was mild.
The EuroStoxx 50 index dropped about 1.05% before paring most of the losses. The euro gained around 0.5% against the US dollar and the British pound before fully retracting.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ECB Rate Cuts Should Boost Euro Area GDP</h2>
A rate cut should help the sluggish euro area recovery. Real GDP rose by just 0.3% in the first quarter of 2025, with growth forecast<a href="https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/press_conference/monetary-policy-statement/shared/pdf/ecb.ds250605~dc79b630e3.en.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> set </a>at<a href="https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/press_conference/monetary-policy-statement/shared/pdf/ecb.ds250605~dc79b630e3.en.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> 0.9%</a>. The ECB trimmed the medium-term inflation forecast to 2%.
&#8220;The ECB looks to be in an enviable position," Hussain Mehdi, director at HSBC Asset Management, <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/ecb-rate-decision-live-european-central-bank-set-cut-interest-rates-again-2025-06-05/">said</a>. "Underlying inflation is back at pre-Russia/Ukraine levels and disinflation looks set to continue amid a stronger euro and lower oil and gas prices."
Tariffs may also help "keep prices in check, given they weigh on demand,&#8221; Mehdi said. This could result in more Chinese goods diverted from the US to Europe,&#8221; he added.
<a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/trumps-50-tariff-threat-deepens-policy">US President Donald Trump</a> agreed in May to delay imposing a 50% tariff on European Union (EU) goods until July 9, following a phone call with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. He had announced the hike along with frustration with the EU.
The ECB warned that trade tensions, if realized, would depress exports and investment, while increased government spending and defense outlays could lead to higher inflation in the longer term.
"Uncertainty surrounding trade policies is expected to weigh on business investment and exports," the statement read.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F877b7ea7-7aad-4c9a-8e95-907969a58fe9_1067x486.png" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F877b7ea7-7aad-4c9a-8e95-907969a58fe9_1067x486.png" alt="" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Euro Area Economic Sentiment: Trading Economics</figcaption></figure>
The economic sentiment indicator in the Euro Area increased for the first time in three months in May, according to data from <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://tradingeconomics.com/euro-area/economic-optimism-index">Trading Economics</a>. The index rose to 94.8 in May 2025 from an upwardly revised 93.8 in April, and above forecasts of 94.
However, the reading remains below its long-term average of 100.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bulgaria's Euro Accession Set for 2025</h2>
Separately, Lagarde concluded her remarks with a nod to the eurozone's future, welcoming Bulgaria. The country may adopt the euro as its currency by 2025.
"We're looking forward to welcoming Bulgaria into the fold," she said, in a symbolic moment that signaled ongoing integration despite global fragmentation.
Bulgaria's entry would mark the first eurozone enlargement since Croatia in 2023, at the time of renewed focus on economic cohesion across the bloc.
While the nation has met key convergence criteria, final approval will depend on further inflation control and legislative alignment with eurozone standards.

ECB Cuts Rates, As Current Monetary Cycle Nears Its End

Silver surged above $36 per ounce, reaching the highest level since February 2012. Since the beginning of the week, the metal has gained over 8.5%, sparking broad interest from investors who seek exposure to its industrial demand and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/silver">safe-haven potential</a>.
"After lagging behind gold for several weeks, silver is now catching up," Alexander Zumpfe, a senior trader at Heraeus Group, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-04/gold-holds-gain-as-soft-us-data-bolster-bets-on-fed-rate-cuts">told</a> Bloomberg. "That suggests renewed interest from momentum-driven investors who are rotating into silver."
Silver's dual role is driving its unique investment angle. Besides serving as a currency metal throughout the centuries, it is now essential in the manufacturing of solar panels, semiconductors, medical devices, and batteries.
With global decarbonization efforts accelerating, silver's industrial demand has surged, resulting in consecutive market deficits. According to the <a href="https://silverinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/World_Silver_Survey-2025.pdf">Silver Institute</a>, a 15% supply shortfall was reported in 2024, and another deficit is forecast for 2025. The world's top three silver-producing countries are Mexico, China, and Peru, which collectively account for over half of the global supply.
The silver rally has also impacted the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45585695/the-golden-ratios-silver-surprise-this-metals-price-could-double">gold-to-silver ratio</a>, a metric that measures the number of ounces of silver required to equal one ounce of gold. The ratio has narrowed to around 94 from over 100, suggesting silver's relative strengthening, although it still lags gold, which is up over 40% year-over-year.
"There may be some ratio trading going on now that it's dipped below the 100 level," noted Rhona O'Connell, head of market analysis at StoneX.
Exchange-traded funds have also contributed to the momentum. Silver ETFs saw inflows of over <a href="https://www.etf.com/etfanalytics/etf-fund-flows-tool">2.2 million ounces</a> in a single day this week, signaling renewed appetite from institutional investors. Analysts say a sustained hold above the $35 level could also attract retail interest, particularly if technical levels hold and supply constraints persist.
A Generational Technical Breakout In Progress
Zooming out, silver is completing a rare, long-term cup-and-handle pattern spanning over four decades. A rule of thumb is that longer, "U-shaped" patterns provide a more reliable signal than sharp "V-bottom" ones.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="435" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06121109/SILVER_2025-06-06_16-33-28-1024x435.png" alt="" class="wp-image-941544" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06121109/SILVER_2025-06-06_16-33-28-1024x435.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06121109/SILVER_2025-06-06_16-33-28-300x128.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06121109/SILVER_2025-06-06_16-33-28-768x326.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06121109/SILVER_2025-06-06_16-33-28-1536x653.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06121109/SILVER_2025-06-06_16-33-28-2048x870.png 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Silver Spot Price 1800-Present, Source: TradingView
The first parabolic peak in silver occurred in the early 1980s, when the Hunt brothers attempted to corner the silver market. Then a 2011 peak occurred post the Great Recession. Together, they have formed the "cup," with resistance around $50 per ounce.
Meanwhile, the "handle" formed from 2011 through 2024 as a multi-year consolidation. The breakout above the $30–$32 resistance zone in 2024–2025 suggests technical confirmation of the pattern. A typical guideline is to calculate the cup height and add it to the resistance zone price. Thus, with a cup height of around $40-42, the pattern's long-term target is around $75. 
On such a large timescale, the catalyst for the move is unlikely to be technical, but rather one that coincides with macroeconomic influences, particularly those stemming from monetary policy and geopolitical tensions.
Price Watch: iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>) ETF is up 21.6% year-to-date.

Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) shares surged 14.4% to 99 cents Friday morning, despite a lack of company-specific news. The move appears partly driven by positive sentiment in the clean energy sector following peer FuelCell Energy's restructuring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45815607/fuelcell-energy-stock-soars-after-mixed-q2-results-targets-profitability-with-scaled-back-ops-renewed-tech-focus">announcement</a>, and reinforced by Plug's own recent strategic developments.
What To Know: In May, Plug shares gained 4%, supported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45654505/plug-power-stock-is-rising-today-whats-going-on">executive actions</a>, financial updates and operational progress. Notably, the company filed a mixed shelf offering on May 28, enhancing its financial flexibility by enabling the issuance of equity and debt securities as needed. 
While such offerings can raise dilution concerns, they also provide critical funding avenues amid ongoing liquidity pressures.
Earlier in May, Plug <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45387898/plug-power-stock-is-tumbling-tuesday-whats-going-on">reported</a> first-quarter revenue of $133.67 million, an 11% year-over-year increase, beating expectations. The surge was driven by a 575% increase in GenEco electrolyzer sales. However, a net loss of 21 cents per share, wider than expected, prompted analyst caution over profitability and cash flow.
Investor confidence was bolstered when CFO Paul Middleton purchased 350,000 shares on May 19, and CEO Andy Marsh pledged to take half his 2025 pay in company stock.
Despite challenges, Plug continues scaling hydrogen production and reaffirms its path to profitability by 2025.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy PLUG Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Plug Power &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) continues to slide, down over 10% on the week, coinciding with escalating tensions between <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/06/45809203/investors-pay-the-price-as-musk-trump-war-of-words-escalates-once-allies-now-foes-their-linked-stocks-crypto-and-funds-wipe-out-155-billion-in-a-single-day" title="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/06/45809203/investors-pay-the-price-as-musk-trump-war-of-words-escalates-once-allies-now-foes-their-linked-stocks-crypto-and-funds-wipe-out-155-billion-in-a-single-day">https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/06/45809203/investors-pay-the-price-as-musk-trump-war-of-words-escalates-once-allies-now-foes-their-linked-stocks-crypto-and-funds-wipe-out-155-billion-in-a-single-day</a>.
What Happened: Prominent crypto analyst Kevin noted in an update in his <a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/KevCapitalTA/posts">exclusive Patreon group</a> that Dogecoin has now retraced to the 0.382 Fibonacci level after breaking below the critical 0.5 support, a move that aligns with oversold daily indicators.
While DOGE and other altcoins show early signs of attempting to reverse bearish momentum on the 4-hour and daily charts, Kevin cautions that significant resistance levels remain overhead.
"I'm fully positioned from lower levels," he noted, adding that he sees no need to add exposure until there&#8217;s clearer direction from Bitcoin, which remains stuck in a choppy, undecided range. 
He urges caution going into Friday, as the current risk-reward setup doesn't justify aggressive moves.

Why It Matters: DOGE's sharp decline comes amid the Musk-Trump fallout, sparked by Musk's strong criticism of Trump's "big beautiful bill," which he called a &#8220;debt slavery bill.&#8221; The political spat has rippled into the crypto markets, adding fuel to DOGE's volatility.
Coinbase Assets has <a href="https://x.com/CoinbaseAssets/status/1930360873790435483">launched</a> cbDOGE and cbXRP on Base, with each ERC-20 token backed 1:1 by DOGE and XRP held in Coinbase custody. 
The move expands DOGE&#8217;s utility in DeFi but comes at a time of high market uncertainty.
Coinglass data shows Dogecoin's liquidations in the past 24 hours stood at $27.98 million, with long liquidations of $22.88 million, implying traders' expectations of bullish momentum in the future.
