What Aritzia does

Canadian women's fashion retailer designing and selling its own apparel brands through stores and online in Canada and the US.

Sells its own labels, such as Babaton and Wilfred, almost entirely through its own boutiques and websites rather than department stores, so it keeps the full retail price and controls how products are shown and discounted. Founded in Vancouver in 1984, it has been adding boutiques in the US.

In one line: A vertically integrated fashion retailer, adjacent to Lululemon's model.

The cockpit's measured peer set (industry) also includes Lpp (LPP.WA), Meesho (MEESHO.NS), Burlington Stores (BURL), Allegro.eu (ALE.WA), Trent (TRENT.NS), Victoria's Secret & (VSXY).
Is Aritzia expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 27.1× against a peer median of 15.8×, 4th most expensive of 16 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 22% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +34%, so the hurdle is -12 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Aritzia stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned +9.2% against +14.8% for the median peer; over one year +59.7%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
