Lululemon's $740M Volume Ranks 141st as Shares Fall 0.77% Amid Athleisure Sector Shifts

On October 9, 2025, Lululemon (LULU) recorded a trading volume of $740 million, ranking 141st among stocks in terms of dollar volume that day. The shares closed down 0.77% despite maintaining a relatively high liquidity position compared to most equities in the market.

Recent market commentary highlights shifting consumer behavior in the athleisure sector, with analysts noting cautious investor sentiment toward discretionary retail stocks amid macroeconomic uncertainty. While no direct corporate announcements impacted the stock on this date, broader market dynamics—particularly in the apparel sector—appear to have contributed to the decline.

To set up this back-test I need to pin down a few practical details: Universe – Do we screen every listed U.S. common share (NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX), or a narrower universe such as the S&P 500 constituents? Volume definition – Rank by share volume or by dollar volume (volume × close price)? Rebalance mechanics – Enter at today’s close and exit at tomorrow’s close (close-to-close), or open-to-open? Any transaction-cost assumption? Weighting – Equal-weight each of the 500 names, or weight by volume / market-cap / something else? Once these items are confirmed I can generate the daily trade list, run the strategy back-test, and return full performance statistics and charts.
