Under Armour's FY27 Profit Guidance Misses Street by Over 50% After Lower Q4 Revenue
summarizeSummary
Under Armour reported a challenging fiscal fourth quarter, with revenue declining 1% to $1.17 billion and an adjusted loss of 3 cents per share, missing analyst expectations of a 2-cent loss. Gross margin also saw a significant decline of 470 basis points. More critically, the company issued fiscal 2027 adjusted earnings guidance of 8 to 12 cents per share, which is substantially below the analyst consensus of 23 cents per share, representing a miss of over 50%. While FY27 EPS guidance was partially reported earlier, this headline provides a more complete picture including Q4 results and FY27 revenue outlook. This comprehensive negative report, including lower Q4 performance and a significantly weaker-than-expected future outlook, indicates ongoing operational headwinds and cost pressures, leading to an 11% premarket stock decline. Traders will be monitoring the company's ability to execute its business reset and address declining North American sales and margin pressures.
