I feel that UA has regional strength on the East Coast, but I do not observe so many West Coast kids wearing it. That is a market where UA still has a lot of work to do, it is wide open for a new competitor to come in and undercut UA -- and trends move rapidly from west to east.


That's actually a benefit for UA. UA can still be a great growth story as there are lots of fresh markets for it. International is a huge push they are making, with sponsorships of Tottenham (an english football club), getting into soccer and other lines such as footwear, casual wear, etc.

It'll never knock off Nike or Adidas, but it doesn't need to. There is room in the industry for a smaller player to thrive.

Competing on price actually would be terrible for UA though. The margins it has been able to sustain are a big reason for its rapid rise in valuation.

Never hurts to ask. He's a local boy and a grad of St. Johns and UMD and has been very generous to both schools.

depends how much nike was offering.

it's near its all time high right now.

i think UA can compete with nike and adidas long term as it is run really well and has great execution.

Nike would have to offer 100 a share to even consider a sale right now IMO.
