Lululemon raised its fourth-quarter sales and profit forecasts on Monday, in a sign that deeper discounts and deals spurred more customers to shop for the company’s products during the holiday season.
This comes after the sportswear maker forecast tepid holiday quarter results early last month.
CFO Meghan Frank said on Monday the company was pleased with its performance during the holiday season. “Our sales trend remains balanced across channels, categories and geographies, enabling us to raise our guidance,” Frank said in a statement.
