A bleak start to the year for Lululemon Athletica Inc. worsened this week after the departure of a key executive exacerbated Wall Street’s concerns around the outlook for the activewear company just ahead of its earnings report.

Shares slumped 9.5% this week, driven by the news that Chief Product Officer Sun Choe is leaving the company and its merchandising and branding teams will be reorganized. The stock has now declined 41% this year and is the worst performer in the S&P 500 Index so far in 2024.
