Just last week, one of those bulls, All-Star gweech, succinctly summed up the Under Armour bull case for our community:
UA is pricey, but it will always be pricey like [Amazon.com]. They have a pile of cash, small debt, and great return on equity ratios. From a fundamentals standpoint, they are solid. When I add in my 7 year old's pulse on style, this is now a huge buying opportunity. Why? Because they are the first sports apparel manufacturer to upset Nike as the king of brands.
