UBS has raised its price target for Lululemon Athletica Inc. to $360 while maintaining a Neutral rating, reflecting potential for a return to historical sales growth in the Americas. Despite a modest 2% year-over-year sales increase in Q3, the company’s strong gross margins and international growth, particularly in China, have led to optimistic price target revisions from several analysts. Market participants are keenly awaiting Lululemon's product innovation updates at the upcoming ICR Conference in January, which will be crucial for assessing future growth prospects.

Average hourly earnings increased by 0.4% from the previous month, supporting expectations for a potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in December.

UBS has downgraded XPeng shares to Sell, citing potential risks not reflected in the stock's current price after a 50% rally.

Other analysts have mixed views, with Goldman Sachs downgrading to Neutral but raising the price target to $12.50, while CMB International upgraded to Buy, highlighting cost reductions and new models.
