Under Armour (UAA): Rethinking Valuation After a Steep Share Price Slide

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Under Armour (UAA) has been grinding through a difficult stretch, with the stock sliding around 11% over the past 3 months and more than 50% over the past year, despite modest revenue growth.

See our latest analysis for Under Armour.

That weak backdrop has left Under Armour’s 1 year total shareholder return down sharply and the longer term picture is similarly negative. This suggests momentum is still fading as investors reassess execution risk and brand strength against modest growth.

If UAA’s slump has you rethinking where you hunt for returns, it could be worth exploring fast growing stocks with high insider ownership as a way to spot more aligned, growth focused management teams.

With the share price languishing near multi year lows but analysts still seeing upside, investors now face a key question: is Under Armour genuinely undervalued or is the market already pricing in all the growth ahead?

Most Popular Narrative: 22.5% Undervalued

With Under Armour closing at $4.55 versus a narrative fair value near $5.87, the valuation case leans on a slow but profitable reset in the years ahead.

The ongoing transformation to a brand first strategy, with a focus on premiumization, tighter SKU assortments, and greater brand storytelling, positions Under Armour to increase average selling prices, improve full price sell through, and reduce reliance on discounting, which should positively impact net margins and long term earnings growth.

Read the complete narrative.

Curious how modest revenue growth, rising margins, and a richer earnings multiple all come together to justify a higher fair value? The narrative leans on targeted international expansion, a more profitable channel mix, and a tighter share count to support its forecasts, but the real intrigue lies in how these moving parts interact over time. Want to see which assumptions carry the most weight in that valuation math and how a higher future multiple is still being rationalised?

Result: Fair Value of $5.87 (UNDERVALUED)

However, persistent tariff driven margin pressure and ongoing footwear underperformance could delay any recovery, challenging the assumption that premiumization and brand elevation will quickly restore growth.

Another Lens on Valuation

Our DCF model paints a much harsher picture, suggesting Under Armour is trading well above its estimated fair value, implying the stock could actually be overvalued rather than cheap. If future growth or margin recovery disappoints, how much downside are today’s buyers really accepting?
