As the Pacific Northwest recovers from its unprecedented heatwave, Wall Street takes a breather this week, as the US takes Monday off for Independence Day.

Lululemon
The pandemic was the time for comfy clothing to shine, with retailers of athleisure benefitting directly from the boom. Canada-based athleisure brand aka the uniform of Vancouverites has been soaring for six consecutive weeks now, after the company reported its first-quarter earnings were up 427% year over year.
According to FactSet, analysts expect the company’s earnings to grow 45% and sales to increase by 34%.

The company was responsible for flying 70.6 million passengers in 2019, and although it has suffered from Covid, with traffic dropping by 77.6%, it’s poised to rebound from the incoming travel surge.
