Disappointing sales outlooks from Lululemon and Nike prompted CNBC's Jim Cramer on Friday to wonder whether the big athletic apparel makers are ceding ground to lower-priced competitors. "Nike, Lulu — are these companies that are just charging too much when others are coming underneath them with good product? Shares of Lululemon tanked more than 16% Friday after issuing light current-quarter and full-year guidance after the closing bell Thursday. The company's finance chief said weaker U.S. traffic and a challenging consumer environment has led to the "broad-based" slowdown. Lululemon's earnings report and outlook was "surprising," Cramer said, considering the Vancouver, Canada-based firm has been viewed as a "high-growth company."
