Under Armour faces an existential crisis, with its brand image fading and shares down 75% over five years. I reiterate my sell rating, citing worsening sales trends, downward guidance revisions, and a deteriorating earnings profile. UA's SKU reduction strategy and marketing budget cuts may not offset competitive pressures and double-digit declines in Asia.
Under Armour NYSE: UA . lowered its fiscal 2027 revenue outlook after first-quarter sales declined 3% to $1.1 billion, citing softer consumer demand in North America and Asia-Pacific and a more promotional retail environment.
Under Armour Inc (NYSE:UA) slipped about 2% after the athletic apparel maker reported fiscal first quarter results that included an earnings beat but slightly weaker-than-expected revenue and a more cautious full-year outlook. Under Armour reported adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.05 for the quarter, ahead of the Wall Street consensus estimate of $0.02.
