Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Under Armour stock:

• 1. Susquehanna Bancshares Inc analysts commented, "pro-business president" and a "real asset for the country." However, in today's politically charged environment, supporting the president is an unpopular position — especially among Hollywood celebrities and athletes. By contrast, a company that manufactures heavy equipment for industrial use is more likely to be able to openly support the president without seeing any backlash from its customers.Related Link: A CEO Who's Who Of Trump's Manufacturing CouncilIn fact, one of Under Armour's most notable brand athletes, NBA superstar Steph Curry, blasted Plank's support for Trump.According to Bloomberg News' Joe Weisenthal, the downgrade is one of the most fascinating stories of the week as the CEO's support of Trump is now "reason enough to downgrade the company."Political Motivations At LargeMoving forward, buying (or not buying) Under Armour's products will partly be politically motivated. Specifically, those in the pro-Trump camp may become brand loyal towards Under Armour but those in the anti-Trump camp who were already brand loyal to Under Armour may now shop elsewhere.As such, Weisenthal noted that there may be some logic to Poser's thinking and it could also mark a shift in how Wall Street research firms look at companies under their coverage. This is why Weisenthal believes no company wants to be labeled as either "pro-Trump" or "anti-Trump."The bigger problem is, by the time Trump's first term comes to an end in four years, it is unlikely there won't be a single company left that hasn't earned the reputation as being on one side or the other.Image Credit: By Dcavalli (Own work) [a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0" (2/20/2017)
• 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of Under Armour took a hit after it posted lower-than-expected fourth-quarter 2016 results. In fact, the company’s shares have underperformed the industry in the past one year. In the reported quarter, revenue rose 11.7% but was well below the average growth rate of 20% registered in the previous 26 quarters. Of late, the company has been grappling with higher interest expense on account of increase in debt level. Under Armour projects an increase in interest expense to approximately $40 million in 2017. Further, investors were disappointed with the company’s 2017 guidance. Under Armour expects revenue to increase in the range of 11–12% and gross margin to decline slightly. However, despite the prevailing headwinds, Under Armour’s sustained focus on brand development, expansion of its direct-to-consumer (DTC) business, product innovation and foray into the technology-based fitness business bode well."
