Tom Nikic has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors that reflect both positive and negative aspects of Under Armour’s recent performance. The company’s fiscal fourth-quarter results slightly exceeded expectations, with a better-than-anticipated EPS loss and revenue decline that was less severe than initially guided. However, despite improvements in gross margins, Under Armour’s revenues have continued to decline, dropping nearly 10% last year and projected to decrease again in the upcoming fiscal year.
While management expresses optimism about future product launches, there remains uncertainty about whether these initiatives will translate into revenue growth. The company’s guidance for the first quarter indicates a further decline in revenues, which is below market expectations, although the anticipated EPS is slightly above consensus. These mixed signals contribute to the decision to maintain a Hold rating as the company navigates through these challenges.
