Lululemon’s Brand Crisis Deepens & Trump Targets Canadian Companies

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, Simon and Dan break down a rough quarter for Lululemon as falling comparable sales, heavier markdowns and weakening international growth raise serious questions about whether the brand can turn things around.

They also look at BRP’s latest results and how tariffs are creating major uncertainty for an otherwise well-run business, before digging into the latest Canada–U.S. trade tensions surrounding Bombardier and Canadian banks.

Then, they turn to Couche-Tard, where fuel profits remain strong but merchandise growth continues to struggle as consumers increasingly trade down and look for value. Finally, they check in on GameStop’s ongoing pivot toward collectibles and whether the company is quietly building a more sustainable business despite continued declines in its traditional operations.

Tickers of stocks discussed:
Lululemon (LULU)
BRP (DOO.TO)
Bombardier (BBD.B.TO)
Alimentation Couche-Tard (ATD.TO)
GameStop (GME)
