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

• 1. Deutsche Bank AG analysts commented, "lifestyle athletic wear" as opposed to Under Armour's "performance based style."Increased competition in the athletic space.Heightened promotional activity across the entire sector.A slowdown in Under Armour's direct-to-consumer segment.Also, Hibbett Sports, Inc. (NASDAQ: HIBB), an athletic specialty retailer that accounts for 16.5 percent of Under Armour's total sales, said on Monday it expects second-quarter comps to be down 10 percent, the analyst added. This should be even more concerning for Under Armour's investors as the Street was modeling Hibbett Sports' stores to see just a 2-percent decline in comps and is a "reflection of the challenges the sector currently faces."Long-Term Story QuestionableFor Under Armour's stock to return, the company needs to return to a consistent double-digit growth rate. However, there are few drivers to support this outlook, the analyst also argued. Meanwhile, the company has "fumbled" (7/25/2017)
• 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Although, Under Armour has underperformed the industry in the past three months, its sustained focus on brand development, expansion of direct-to-consumer and technology-based fitness business bode well. With increasing consciousness about fitness among people, sports apparel makers are entering into the business of fitness gadgets and other tracking platforms to attract customers. The company’s international business has also been doing quite well. In first-quarter 2017, international business increased 52% to $227 million. Of late, estimates have been stable ahead of the company’s second quarter earnings release. However, the company has been grappling with higher interest expense due to increase in debt level. Management had kept its guidance intact. The company continues to expect net revenue for 2017 to be nearly $5.4 billion." (7/14/2017)
• 3. 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)
