Under Amour, Inc.

In order to review stocks properly using our system, we need stock data going back at least five years, or through 2014. Under Armour Corporation presents a confusing problem in this regard because there are three classes of stock in existence for that corporation, only two of which are publicly-traded. They are Classes A, B, and C.

We are here reviewing Class C stock, traded under the ticker symbol "UA". That ticker symbol was formerly used for Class A stock up until 03/23/2016. After that date, "UA" stood for Class C stock, formerly traded under the symbol "UA.C".

Class A stock has limited voting rights, and hence is considered somewhat more valuable than Class C. The main distinction between UA and UAA shares comes down to voting rights. UA stock, formerly trading under the UA.C symbol, stands for Class C shares, with no voting rights. UAA stock, formerly trading under the symbol UA, stands for Class A shares, which confer one vote per share to the owner.

Another small difference between UA stock and UAA stock results from this discrepancy in voting power. Because Class A shares actually allow shareholders to vote on governance issues, UAA stock will typically trade at a premium to UA stock, which doesn't have voting rights.

At the end of the day though, even public shareholders of UAA stock will have no real power in determining the direction of the company. That's because founder and CEO Kevin Plank owns tens of millions of Class B shares, which aren't traded publicly and confer a disproportionate number of votes per share to him.

The Under Armour stock split of 2016, and subsequent ticker change. In April 2016, Under Armour shareholders received one share of Class C stock as a special dividend for every Under Armour share they owned, allowing Under Armour to cut its stock price in half, just as it would have in a 2-for-1 split, without giving shareholders any additional voting power.

Ticker-wise, shareholders all got one share of UA.C for each share of UA they owned, and the UA stock price fell by roughly 50 percent due to the effective doubling of the number of Under Armour shares on the market.

For tax purposes, the cost basis was re-allocated roughly evenly between the two shares, meaning shareholders couldn't sell UA for a 50 percent loss and take a tax write-off (nice thinking, though).

Of course, as mentioned, those UA shares – the Class A share class – turned to UAA shares in December.

At last check, there were over 183 million UAA shares outstanding, giving the public 183 million votes. While that sounds like a lot, Kevin Plank owns over 34 million Class B shares, conferring more than 340 million votes.

Despite this, Class A shares have, ever since Class C shares were first issued in the Under Armour stock split, traded at a major premium to their nonvoting cousins. It hasn't been unusual for that markup to reach 20 percent. This seems like a very high premium to pay for a vote that has little to no value.

The rationale. Before you go ringing your broker or calling your congressman, it should be said that Kevin Plank is no corporate tyrant. He is hardly alone in his decision to consolidate voting power; Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Facebook (FB) and even Berkshire Hathaway (BRK/A, BRK/B) all have similar dual-share structures. "The intended purpose of the dual-class shares is to separate the control from the ownership of the company," says K C Ma, professor of finance at Stetson University. "The dual-class share structure is an obvious defense for takeover bids, hostile or not, from inside or not."

That's great news if you're Plank or if you believe in his vision. But if you'd rather have some checks and balances in place, this isn't so great for corporate governance. Granted, Plank has proven an excellent steward of shareholder value over the years, but there's never a guarantee that will continue.

Why the UA to UAA ticker change? It's understandable why Plank would want to issue two share classes. One good question, however, is why the company decided to change its ticker symbol after the Class C shares were already issued.

After all, both Class A and Class C shares had already been trading publicly for months, under their old symbols UA and UA.C., respectively. But when they changed to UAA and UA, the company gave no stated reason for the change.

Some might say the ticker symbol change was purely cosmetic – UA looks better than the clumsy UA.C.

A cynic, however, might say the ticker change was done to encourage more people to buy the UA non-voting shares. While Class A UA stock previously experienced far higher trading volume than the Class C UA.C did, as soon as the most recent change was made, Class A UAA trading volume was dwarfed by Class C UA trading volume. Much of that likely has to do with the fact that the ticker UA has been associated with Under Armour for years now, so its liquidity benefits from investor familiarity.

Still, that cynical view makes little sense in light of Plank's power to vote 65 percent of shares, so cosmetics could be the motivating factor. It's unclear, really, but as long as investors know the difference, the ticker itself doesn't much matter.

A company spokeswoman says the change was made because "the Class C stock is the main stock that we will use going forward and, therefore, we wanted to align our traditional ticker with the Class C shares."

Now, with that in mind, what did we at Zenith did to get stock data going back before 2016 was that we took UAA stock data from inception in 2009 (which corresponds to the current "UA" stock), up until 03/23/2016, the date the new class of shares was issued, Then we adjusted it to match UA price 03/23/2016 and subsequently tacked on current "UA" stock data from that point on.

The corporation's website is in our opinion, a mess. It is used to make internet sales, but descriptions of products and services is muddled in a bevy of "inspirational slogans" and meaningless phrases about corporate restructing, strategy, opportunity, etc., written by people who in our opinion were not very good at public relations, and incredibly poor at website design.

On the retail end, the company "store locator" will take you to stores not managed at all by Under Armour but simply carrying some of its products, stores like Big 5 Sporting Goods, REI, Finish Line, All Pro Sports, Frontline Uniforms, etc.

Based upon our summary above, one can see we have a rather poor overall impression of this corporation, and we are joined by not a few other researchers. In fact, this corporation has the worst rating by the vast majority of researchers we have ever seen for any stock. We do like, however, its free application software, "MyFitnessPal.Com".

The textile/apparel industry group has been weak for dress clothes but sporting goods apparel segment has been stronger than other apparel stocks.

Some other considerations include institutions are strong net sellers, management and salaries may lack corporate governance, projections by several analysts are a bit pessimistic, the stock may have been overlooked by historic p/e measures versus the present, recent sentiment from traders is very strong, and the stock may be classified as a trading range, channeling, or rolling stock currently in its upper trading range..

Channeling Potential

 
The summary below includes a value for `Degree,' which refers on a
scale of 1 to 10 the range of a channel in the period under consi-
deration compared to the total range of price movement. It also looks
for the last closing price to be within the channel, otherwise zeroed.
The `Index' is the `Degree' weighted for volatility.  Generally, the
the higher the index, the more suitable is the stock for trading as
a `rolling stock' between channel high and low points.

"Neurostock" can only track long trades. Therefore its performance, as tracked by itself on stocks which are consistently falling, may not appear as good as it could if each "sell" signal were a "short sale."
