Credit Suisse analyst Michael Binetti raised the firm’s price target on Lululemon to $465 from $390 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares.

But Lululemon hasn’t hosted a warehouse sale, his store checks through the quarter showed strong traffic, and his Black Friday/Cyber Monday checks showed minimal discounting in stores. Further, Binetti noted multiple restocks on Lululemon’s popular Belt Bag in recent weeks-likely helping holiday sales.
