Over on CAPS, fully 462 of the 508 All-Star members who have rated Under Armour -- some 91% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These All-Star bulls include FAOFool and nemaline, both of whom are ranked in the top 5% of our community.
In April, FAOFool noted that Under Armour "has shown a considerable deftness in its ability to reach out to university sports programs, professional athletes, etc., given the competition (Nike, Addidas, etc.) ... I like their potential from here ... especially when one considers the size of the competitors [Under Armour] is currently beating."
A more recent pitch from nemaline just last week followed that bullish line of thinking, highlighting the company as an innovative frontrunner:
Under Armour rules! Although not as well advertised at the Olympics as I would have thought, they are burrowing into the American landscape. Great growth that continues, and the company is always innovating and finding new stuff for consumers to buy--like shoes. As a runner, I find myself buying more and more UnderArmour products. And now I own the stock, thank you.
