Oxford Industries Inc (NYSE:OXM) stock is off 4.1% at $60 at last check, after earlier hitting a more than four-year low of $53.23. Brushing off its fourth-quarter earnings beat, the company is struggling after forecasting a lower-than-expected full-year profit, citing failing consumer demand.

Keybanc downgraded the equity to "sector weight" from "overweight" in response, while several other brokerages cut their price targets. Heading into today, four of five analysts in coverage carried a "hold" or "strong sell" rating, while the equity's average 12-month price target of $69.75 in 18% above current levels.

OXM has been struggling of late, down 25.2% so far in 2025 and off nearly 50% over the last 12 months. Plus, the overhead 180-day moving average thwarted  breakout attempt in January.

Sector peer Lululemon Athletica Inc (NASDAQ:LULU) is down 14.2% at $289.73 at last glance. Dinged by a disappointing forecast, Lululemon said tariff nerves, inflation, and weak demand are weighing heavily on its future. The grim outlook and a slew of bear notes also overshadowed the company's fourth-quarter beat.

No fewer than 15 analysts slashed their price target in response, the steepest out of BMO to $302 from $313. Of the 30 firms in coverage, 17 called the security a "buy" or better, while the average 12-month price target sits at $398.85 -- a 38.2% premium to current levels. LULU is pacing for its worst day since March 2024 as it clings to a six-month gain of 3.2%.
