Under Armour cuts outlook as North America sales slump; Vietnam tariff adds cost

Full-year revenue outlook cut on weak North America demand Under Armour lowered its full-year revenue forecast to a mid-single-digit decline, from a slight decline, after North America sales fell 9%. Management expects a tougher consumer environment to persist, signaling the turnaround is not yet lifting sales and pressuring the stock.
This is the core new negative event that directly drove the stock down and answers what is moving UAA.
Quarterly revenue misses estimates despite profit beat Second-quarter revenue of $1.10 billion fell 3.2% and missed the $1.11 billion consensus, even though adjusted earnings per share of $0.05 doubled forecasts. Investors focused on the sales shortfall, a sign that demand remains soft and the turnaround is slow.
The revenue miss is a fresh, concrete negative that explains continued selling pressure on UAA.
Vietnam hit with 12.5% US tariff, raising UAA's sourcing costs Vietnam, a key production base for Under Armour, faces a 12.5% US tariff, higher than the 10% on Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia and Malaysia, and lacks access to a new textile duty-lowering mechanism. This raises UAA's costs and puts it at a disadvantage versus rivals sourcing from lower-tariff countries.
This new tariff directly affects UAA's supply chain costs and competitiveness, a real headwind for margins.
Turnaround efforts continue but short interest stays high CEO Kevin Plank has cut 25% of product styles, reduced promotions and spent $266 million on restructuring, aiming to finish by year-end. However, short interest is nearly 24% of the float and hedge fund ownership fell, showing many investors still bet against a quick recovery.
It gives the counterweight: cost cuts and brand repositioning could help, but heavy shorting shows deep skepticism.

Christian Dior SE (CDI.PA)

Q3 202627 Jul – 26 Sep 2026

Arnault buyout plan lifts Dior, but China slump drags

Arnault family to buy out Dior minorities The Arnault family plans to merge its holding company into Christian Dior and make a mandatory cash offer for the 2.44% of Dior shares it does not own, about €1.63 billion. This gives minority holders a likely exit at a price tied to Dior's net asset value, supporting the shares.
This is the single biggest new event for CDI.PA, directly affecting who owns the company and at what price.
China luxury slump hits Dior sales Luxury sales in China fell more than 10% in July, with Dior and Louis Vuitton posting double-digit drops. China's tax crackdown on wealthy shoppers is cutting demand for high-end goods, a real drag on Dior's earnings because LVMH is its main asset.
This is the main new operating headwind for Dior's underlying business and future profits.
LVMH demand stabilises in second quarter LVMH's second-quarter sales rose 3% on a comparable basis, beating expectations, with fashion and leather goods up 1% — the first gain in two years. Strong growth in Asia outside Japan and the US shows demand is recovering, which lifts Dior's value since it mostly owns LVMH.
It shows the core business trend improving, a key force behind Dior's earnings and share price.
Dior shares look cheap versus peers Dior reported first-half sales of €38.6 billion and net income of €2.4 billion, with earnings per share of €13.26. The stock trades at about 17.6 times earnings, below the luxury sector average, and some cash-flow models suggest it is undervalued, which can attract buyers.
Valuation is a core part of why investors may see Dior as attractive right now.
