LULULEMON ATHLETICA INC ended a months-long proxy fight with founder Chip Wilson on Wednesday afternoon following a 60% share price drop over the past year. The truce allows incoming CEO Heidi O’Neill to deploy a $1.8 billion cash reserve to counter rising competition. Investors are weighing whether this capital can reverse narrowing margins and regain market share from newer athleisure rivals.
