2 Beaten-Down Retail Stocks to Buy and Hold
After a rough 2025, two once-popular retailers on Wall Street have fallen out of favor. Lululemon Athletica (NASDAQ: LULU), the high-end athletic-apparel specialist, recently cut its outlook after weak U.S. demand and higher trade costs pressured profits. Target (NYSE: TGT), one of America's largest general-merchandise retailers, continues to face soft discretionary spending and thinner margins as consumers stay cautious and tariffs similarly weigh on results. As of this writing, both stocks are down more than 40% over the past 12 months.

Yet a close look at both companies, some silver linings in their recent reports, and their management teams' plans to combat these slumps show hope for turnarounds. For instance, Lululemon remains a powerful global brand with expanding reach in markets like China, while Target's digital services and advertising unit continue to gain traction. Ultimately, each company is adapting its strategy rather than standing still.
