LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / June 9, 2016 / ActiveWallSt.com announces its post-earnings coverage on Lululemon Athletica Inc. (NASDAQ: LULU). On Wednesday, June 08, 2016, the company announced its Q1 FY16 results that beat analysts’ expectations, which lead the yoga wear maker to also raise its financial forecasts for the Fiscal year. Register with us now for your free membership and see our complete coverage on this equity at:

http://www.activewallst.com/register/

For the period ending on May 1, 2016, Lululemon posted net income of $45.3 million, or $0.33 per share, as compared with net income of $47.8 million or $0.34 per share in Q1 FY15. Revenue rose by 17% to $495.5 million from $423.5 million, beating analysts’ estimates of $487.7 million. Excluding special items, the British Columbia-based company reported profit of $0.30 per share, marginally below analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.31.

Today, ActiveWallSt.com is promoting its earnings coverage on LULU. Get all of our free coverage by signing up to http://www.activewallst.com/register/.

Lululemon sees earnings move downward

Lululemon reported that total comparable sales, rose by 6 % or 8 % on a constant dollar basis in Q1 FY16, compared with 6 % in Q1 FY15. Same store sales, which consider sales in the stores opened at least for a year, were up 3% or by 5% on constant currency basis. The company incurred foreign exchange losses of $13.5 million during Q1 FY16 due to revaluation of cash and receivables held in Canada.

Lululemon’s gross margin rate dropped to 48.3% in Q1 FY16 from 48.6% in the year ago period. The athleisure maker has worked towards rebuilding its image after struggling in recent years with product recalls, which embarrassed the company, and inventory related issues.

Top line Worries

While top line sales growth grew, partly due to opening of new stores, inventory levels also jumped 21% to $286.2 in Q1 FY16 million from 236.5 million in Q1 FY15. This states that more inventory is getting held in Lululemon’s pipeline, depreciating in value and shrinking margins. To deal with this, in Q1 FY16, the company sold $39.2 million worth of discounted merchandise through various channels such as pop up stores, warehouse sales and its own stores as compared to $25.8 million in the year ago period.

Lululemon, which has positioned itself as a luxury brand, never used to offer discounted sales in its stores. Having to resort to discounted sales to clear merchandize is critical as price markdowns can change consumer perception about the Lululemon brand. However, with the ever-changing fashion trends and increased competition from Nike Inc. (NYSE:NKE) and Under Armour Inc. (NYSE:UA) within the lucrative athleisure market, Lululemon has to keep up with the trend. For this the company has to speed up its inventory pipeline, and this comes with a caveat as with limited space in its stores the older clothes have to be replaced even faster, thereby reducing their value.

Can Lululemon Keep up the Momentum

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 9, 2016 / The markets have been benefiting from a strong uptrend in recent trading and the following companies have demonstrated strong growth and momentum throughout.

Bridgeline Digital, Inc. (BLIN) provides the iAPPS Web engagement management product platform in the United States and recently announced a major platform change. According to the premarket release on Wednesday, BLIN customers now have access to the company’s new iAPPS Pro product line, a Web Experience Management System catering to the mid-market and nimble enterprise companies. [1] The solution which is SaaS-based, offers fully integrated marketing automation, web content management and eCommerce capabilities. At the close of trading Wednesday BLIN was up 47%.

After announcing a merger with Zone Technologies, Inc. on June 6th, provider of integrated Big Data technology Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (HMNY) has seen its shares rise significantly. [2] On the day of the big announcement shares in HMNY rallied to a day high of 10.00 before pulling back to close at 7.22. Since then the stock has been on an upward path, reaching a high of 15.56 on June 7th. In Wednesday trading HMNY opened at 14.07 and rallied as high as 17.00 before pulling back to 13.75 to end the session.

There is also a strong investment catalyst behind cannabis at the moment and one of the company’s making its presence felt is Blue Line Protection Group, Inc. (BLPG).

BLPG is focused on providing financial compliance services to banks and credit unions serving the legal cannabis industry. In addition to this main focus, BLPG also provides protection, compliance, transportation, licensing and vaulting services.

Recently BLPG moved into a new 12,000-square-foot headquarters that is strategically located near downtown Denver, Colorado. The location offers easy and logistical access to primary transportation routes and gives the company a strong competitive advantage in the growing cannabis sector.

BLPG has heavily consolidated its operations and now has the flexibility and agility to deploy its services across the entire cannabis industry. With the new facility BLPG is now positioned to offer turnkey protection, transportation, cash processing and vaulting solutions.

>> This Undiscovered Cannabis Stock Could Be Poised For A Move Higher <<

2016 has seen several important developments emerge surrounding BLPG. These developments speak to the growth potential of the company as well as confidence in the company’s business model and overall strategic ambitions.

One example of this confidence was the capital investment of $500,000 by Hypur Ventures, L.P. BLPG confirmed that an additional $500,000 may be invested at the discretion of Hypur Ventures. [3]

BLPG is now pressing ahead with its financial compliance focus and is now certified as an integrated software vendor (ISV) of Hypur, Inc. [4]

Hypur provides software product solutions to financial institutions that enable them to meet the enhanced requirements of banking cash-intensive businesses.

Hypur’s technology solutions are a very good fit for BLPG’s growth ambitions and include compliance tools for financial institutions and a secure mobile transaction platform for merchants and consumers.

As BLPG CEO Daniel Allen said at the time of the release, “We’re pleased to become a part of Hypur’s compliance and transaction network. Together, we’re building the foundation to enable cash-intensive businesses to have access to the transparent and legitimate banking services they need, and our integration with Hypur will help us tap into new revenue channels nationwide.”

If the capital investment and licensing news wasn’t good enough BLPG made another major announcement towards the end of May, this time surrounding the expansion of its Licensing Services Division. This was major news and highlighted the full scope of BLPG’s service expansion in the cannabis industry.

According to the May 26 release from BLPG, “the Licensing Services Division provides research, design and consulting assistance to investors and businesses applying for cannabis licenses in states where medicinal or recreational marijuana programs are moving toward legalization.” [5]

>> This Unique Opportunity Could Give Investors Access To The Upside Of The Cannabis Industry <<

Growth in the cannabis industry is expected to increase in the coming year so the strategic foundations being laid by BLPG right now are very good from an investment perspective.
The biggest expansion is occurring in the medical marijuana sector where 24 states now allow the sale of cannabis for medical purposes and include markets. These markets include the lucrative New York as well as Montana, Maryland and Vermont. Pennsylvania made headlines in April when it became the 24th state to legalize cannabis for medical purposes in April 2016. [6]

On the recreational side, four states (Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Alaska and Washington, D.C.) have passed laws legalizing the sale of cannabis and the biggest chunk of sales is coming from this sector. Recreational users spent $998M on cannabis in 2015, up from the $351M spent in 2014 and representing an overall increase year on year of more than 184%. [7]

Demand among users (both recreational and medical) isn’t expected to slow anytime soon because as recent polls show, more than 56% of Americans believe the use of marijuana should be legal and lawmakers are now starting to wake up that wholesale reality. [8]

LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / June 9, 2016 / ActiveWallSt.com announces its coverage of the Textile – Apparel Clothing industry. Our focus today is on Ralph Lauren’s (NYSE:RL). On Tuesday, June 7, 2016, the company’s new CEO Stefan Larsson announced his first steps to bring the iconic brand’s performance back on track. The decision to cut jobs and close stores was, in a way, expected, although the quantum might suggest the company is easing into the restructuring process. Ralph Lauren would lay off a thousand of its workforce and close over 50 full-price stores. The cuts reflect almost 4% of the company’s total employee base. Register with us now for your free membership at:

Today, ActiveWallSt.com is promoting its industry and company coverage with focus on RL. Get all of our research for free by signing up to http://www.activewallst.com/register/.

Ralph Lauren’s performance has been rather tepid over the past few years. Revenue growth has averaged a shade under 2% since 2012, with operating margin declining over 550 basis points over the same period. This could be largely ascribed to the company’s wholesale business, which has been struggling to grow beyond mid-single digits; in fact, revenues from the segment declined in FY2016.

Popular retail chains are part of the company’s wholesale segment customer base, with Macy’s (NYSE:M) being one of the largest and contributing almost 25% to the segment’s revenue. Most of the large retail chains, such The Gap Inc. (NYSE:GPS) and J.C. Penney Company Inc. (NYSE:JCP), have reported weak performances and many more disclosed feeble future outlook. Ralph Lauren’s wholesale segment seems to be facing the brunt of it. Discretionary spending in US brick and mortar stores is stagnating, with volumes moving on to the online platform. Almost all of the large retail chains in the US have identified e-commerce as a key element of their growth strategies. Also, Ralph Lauren receives nearly 33% of revenue from non-US countries (Asia and Europe), where economic challenges have exerted pressure on discretionary spending.

That said, the root of Ralph Lauren’s recent uninspiring performance is not entirely embedded in the wholesale business. There is a bigger overhaul at the brand that the new CEO seems to be setting out to undertake. Strategic changes such as shortening the new fashion style timeline from 15 months to nine and enhancing focusing on core brands (Ralph Lauren, Polo and Lauren etc.) are key to Mr. Larsson’s approach. Many argue that over the past couple of decades, several peripheral brands and accessories have surfaced that do not reflect the company’s core strategy and would need to be carefully examined in the future.

Ralph Lauren’s stock is down nearly 30% over the past 12 months and some may suggest prices in the weaker outlook. The company targets to achieve stability by 2018, followed by growth and market share gains beyond that. However, getting the strategy right, especially in the brick and mortar fashion industry, can be a slow and grinding process, and the restructuring process at Ralph Lauren may well be a long-drawn affair. It may not be entirely surprising if the weakness in stock and business continues to prevail at least in the months to come.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 9, 2016 / SeeThruEquity, a leading independent equity research and corporate access firm focused on small-cap and micro-cap public companies, today announced it has initiated coverage of Yangtze River Development Ltd. (OTC: YERR) with a price target of $8.00.

The report is available here: YERR Initiation Report. SeeThruEquity is an approved equity research contributor on Thomson First Call, Capital IQ, FactSet, and Zack’s. The report will be available on these platforms. The firm also contributes its estimates to Thomson Estimates, the leading estimates platform on Wall Street.

Spanning 474 acres, the Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Center project is massive in scale and will encompass a logistics center, port operations, warehouses and distribution, as well as commercial and residential real estate construction. YERR has invested approximately $400mn thus far in the development of this project, and has estimated the remaining cost to complete construction of the project at $800mn. Management has stated that it believes it could fund this investment by monetizing 50% of its real estate holdings over the next four years. In our opinion, we believe the company will raise funds through a combination of real estate monetization and outside capital, which would potentially enable it to accelerate its development timeline and reduce risk. The company is targeting 2020E / 2021E for completion and the initiation of its logistics business, though management does expect to generate revenues between 2016E and 2020E from the sale of real estate assets, which could be used to fund development. Given the scope of the project, we expect that management quality will play a significant role in the company’s ability to execute. Importantly, YERR is led by CEO Mr. Xiangyao Liu, an experienced executive with a history of success in the Chinese steel trading and logistics industries. Mr. Xiangyao Liu has funded a considerable portion of YERR’s development and holds a controlling equity stake in the company.

“We initiate coverage on Yangtze River Development Ltd. (OTC: YERR) with a price target of $8.00. Through its subsidiary companies, Yangtze River Development Ltd. appears to be a unique infrastructure play with intriguing logistics and commercial / industrial real estate components. We believe it is one of few – if any – remaining publicly traded pure play companies focused on infrastructure development in China available to US investors. Despite recent concerns over the rate of growth of the Chinese market, the fact remains that it is one of the largest and fastest growing economies in the world, with a GDP growing at an annualized rate of 6.7% in 1Q16. YERR has embarked upon a significant new development project, the Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Center, in a strategically important area of China which YERR expects to be closely linked to China’s “One Belt, One Road” long term economic plan. In addition, management believes Wuhan has may become the first inland city to achieve Pilot Free Trade Zone (“FTZ”) status, as part of a government initiative to stimulate trade activities and increasing demand for logistics transportation domestically,” stated Ajay Tandon, CEO of SeeThruEquity.

Highlights from the report are as follows:

Large infrastructure project in a strategic area

YERR has invested approximately $400mn thus far in the development of Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Center, and will require an additional $800mn to bring the project through to completion, likely through a combination of real estate asset monetization and capital raising. Considering its location in an economic development zone as well as an area which has applied to become a Free Trade Zone, the company stands to benefit from policy that is supportive of infrastructure development, such as the One Belt One Road infrastructure development plan. We see the company as offering a high risk, high potential reward avenue to invest in the development of logistics in China.

Experienced management highly invested in company

Given the scope of the project, we expect that management quality will play a significant role in the company’s ability to execute. Importantly, YERR is led by CEO Mr. Xiangyao Liu, an experienced executive with a history of success in the Chinese steel trading and logistics industries. Mr. Xiangyao Liu has funded a considerable portion of YERR’s development and holds a controlling equity stake in the company.

YERR seeking to uplist to national exchange

YERR has taken several strides on the corporate development front thus far in 2016. In March, the company publicly stated its intent to uplist shares to a national exchange. In the announcement, YERR highlighted recent actions including the expansion of its Board and the institution of several corporate governance policies. Clearly an uplisting to a national exchange would likely offer the opportunity for improved liquidity in YERR shares, and should expand the potential pool of investors, including some institutional investors which might be interested in considering a Chinese infrastructure play, but cannot invest in OTC securities.

About Yangtze River Development Limited

Yangtze River Development Limited primarily engages in the business of real estate development with a port logistic project located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Wuhan Newport is a large infrastructure development project implemented under China’s latest “One Belt One Road” initiative and is believed to be strategically positioned in the anticipated “Free Trade Zone” of the Wuhan Port, a crucial trading window between China, the Middle East and Europe. To be fully developed upon completion of three phases, within the logistics center, there will be six operating zones, including port operation area, warehouse and distribution area, cold chain logistics area, rail cargo loading area, exhibition area and residential community. The logistics center is also expected to provide a number of shipping berths for cargo ships of various sizes. Wuhan Newport is expected to provide domestic and foreign businesses a direct access to the anticipated Free Trade Zone in Wuhan. The project will include commercial buildings, professional logistic supply chain centers, direct access to the Yangtze River, Wuhan-Xinjiang-Europe Railway and ground transportation, storage and processing centers, IT supporting services, among others.
