Why consensus could be wrong
The Street may be underestimating Under Armour's potential for a rebound in consumer interest, especially if they can leverage new marketing strategies effectively.
Supporting evidence
Options are pricing a 6.3% move, but historical data shows the stock has moved more than 13% on average after earnings.
The recent trend of increased fitness participation could boost sales unexpectedly.
Under Armour's focus on innovation in product lines may resonate well with consumers looking for new offerings.
Key risk
If revenue growth exceeds 10%, it could shift sentiment dramatically.
Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.
The core debate this quarter revolves around whether Under Armour can turn around its recent poor performance and regain market share.
Bull confirmed if
Revenue growth of at least 10% year-over-year would confirm the bull case.
Bear confirmed if
An EPS loss greater than $0.10 would confirm the bear case.
