Lululemon Athletica Inc. shares jumped on Thursday after international sales growth and new women’s merchandise helped propel a higher full-year profit outlook.

The yogawear brand will be unveiling new products through 2024, including leggings that use hydrogen yarn in July, and it has invested in store expansion, supply-chain improvements and international facilities. The company hopes to attract more male shoppers with offerings for training and golf.
