According to the founder, who owns 8.6% of the company, the board lacks the skillset to hire a world-class brand and product person who can deliver on current brands. Wilson also insists the next CEO should be in a position to lead the company in attracting talent and executing a turnaround. Elliott Investments, which owns a significant stake in Lululemon Athletica, had proposed former Ralph Lauren executive Jane Nielsen as the company’s next CEO.

On the other hand, Baird analyst has reiterated a Neutral rating on the stock and a $190 price target in response to the appointment of O’Neill as the next CEO, effective September 8. According to the analysts, the roughly four-month gap before O’Neil takes over may keep key strategic and governance questions open.
