Under Armour
Under Armour's revenue fell 3.8% to $5.0 billion in fiscal 2026. Its operating margin was −3.3%, up from −3.6% a year earlier. Free cash flow was −$162 million. It paid out $25 million in dividends and buybacks. The diluted share count fell 1.3%.
Operating margin is operating income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on capital is after-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.
Charts show fiscal years, from the 10-K filings.
Revenue and margins
Net income and earnings per share
From fiscal 2019 to 2024, earnings per share grew 21.1% a year and net income 20.3% a year, as buybacks cut the share count by 1%. Under Armour then lost money in fiscal 2025 and 2026.

Valuation
Two ways to value Under Armour yourself, both starting from its filings: a discounted cash flow model and the price-to-earnings method.
Discounted cash flow (DCF)
A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values a business as the cash it may generate in future, discounted back to today. The starting figures come from Under Armour's 10-K (or, for net cash and shares, its latest 10-Q) and the assumptions are yours: start from one of three example scenarios, then change any figure to see what it implies for a share, and how that compares with the last share price.
The example scenarios need a positive starting cash flow. Under Armour's free cash flow was negative in fiscal 2026 and over the last three years, and so is cash from operations minus depreciation. You can still enter your own figures in the calculator.
- Last close, October 26, 2026
- $4.46
- Value on these assumptions, against the last close
- —
- Cash flows in years 1 to 10, valued today
- —
- Everything after year 10, valued today
- —
- Plus net cash
- —
- Share of value from after year 10
How the value changes with two assumptions
Price-to-earnings (P/E) method
Another common way to value a company is to multiply its earnings per share by a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple: the number of years of today's earnings an investor pays for a share. A higher multiple usually means investors expect earnings to grow. Choose a multiple, for example from similar companies, to see the value it gives.
The P/E method needs positive earnings, and Under Armour's latest diluted earnings per share were negative or zero.
