Analysis:

TheStreet Quant Ratings

rates Under Armour as a

hold

. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, growth in earnings per share and compelling growth in net income. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself and disappointing return on equity.

Highlights from the ratings report include:

  • The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 7.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 30.1%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
  • UNDER ARMOUR INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. This trend suggests that the performance of the business is improving. During the past fiscal year, UNDER ARMOUR INC increased its bottom line by earning $1.05 versus $0.95 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.16 versus $1.05).
  • 48.93% is the gross profit margin for UNDER ARMOUR INC which we consider to be strong. Regardless of UA's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 1.83% trails the industry average.
  • The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Textiles, Apparel & Luxury Goods industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, UNDER ARMOUR INC has underperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has exceeded that of the S&P 500.
  • UA has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, declining 6.46% from its price level of one year ago. Looking ahead, we do not see anything in this company's numbers that would change the one-year trend. It was down over the last twelve months; and it could be down again in the next twelve. Naturally, a bull or bear market could sway the movement of this stock.
