Over on CAPS, 2,242 of the 2,451 members who have rated Under Armour -- or 91% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include dp23peace and IdahoAve.

Five days ago, dp23peace mulled over Under Armour's potential:

This falls into the category of invest in simple companies that you understand. [Under Armour] knows where to invest and how to use advertising to reach their audience and inspire them to buy. Now that they make cleats and sneakers they will continue to increase their share of the pie, once the market begins to recover. I'll take all I can at this price.

In a pitch from January, IdahoAve cites Under Armour's "grassroots" growth strategy as reason to get in for the long haul:

While nothing currently looks good in a retail environment, [Under Armour] has caught my attention for the one simple reason that a lot of young people are wearing it. I am currently involved with a community college soccer team and I was amazed at how often I saw this brands logo. I should also note that I never saw it anywhere 4-5 years ago, making this a remarkable change....

I don't think anything will do well that depends on US optional spending in retail until current conditions improve. However once they do I would suspect [Under Armour] will outperform the SP 500. Mid to long term buy.
