Tom Nikic has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors influencing Under Armour’s current market position. The company is navigating a challenging operating environment, yet management remains hopeful about future prospects through strategic brand revitalization efforts, including improvements in product and marketing. Despite this optimism, the decision to maintain a Hold rating stems from the need for more definitive evidence of a successful turnaround. In the latest quarter, Under Armour’s revenues fell by 6% on a constant currency basis, which was slightly better than anticipated, and earnings per share exceeded guidance. Furthermore, the company’s full-year guidance aligns closely with market expectations, projecting a revenue decline of 4%-5% and earnings per share between $0.03 and $0.05. The recent transition in the CFO position, with Reza Taleghani stepping in, adds another layer of uncertainty, warranting a cautious approach until clearer signs of stabilization emerge.
In another report released today, Telsey Advisory also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $5.00 price target.
