Jim Cramer favours Lululemon over Peloton

Versus its year-to-date high, the Peloton stock is currently down more than 80%.

Still, famed investor Jim Cramer, even after today’s news, favours Lululemon Athletica Inc over Peloton Interactive Inc. On CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street”, he said:

Lululemon is down so much. But it’s doing so many things right, it’s still crushing it – Kevin McDonald with Mirror. So, stop fooling around with Peloton, buy the expensive one. I think you’ll do better. Lulu is doing incredibly well.

In August, Peloton reported disappointing results for its fiscal Q4 and issued weak guidance for the future. Still, Wall Street rates this beaten down stock at “overweight”.
