Even a JP Morgan Endorsement Won’t Help Under Armour Stock
Shares of Under Armour (NYSE:UAA) traded significantly higher in mid-May on a bullish note from JP Morgan, who upgraded Under Armour stock to Overweight with a $29 price target, implying ~30% upside over the next twelve months.Source: Shutterstock The bull thesis from JP Morgan is pretty simple. Under Armour has struggled significantly over the past several years with its product assortment and that has led to building inventories amid stagnant sales.In order to clear that inventory, Under Armour has had to run deep discounts on its merchandise, sell into lower-priced channels, and slow new product roll-out. Those moves stabilized sales, but they also diluted brand equity and dragged on margins. Net result? Profits were wiped out.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * 7 Stocks to Buy for Over 20% Upside Potential Inventory levels are dropping fast and now sit at their lowest level in several years. Management thinks this "down-sizing" era is over. Inventory levels are now appropriately low. Discounting will stop. Lower-priced sell-through will stop, too. The company can now put out new premium product, which should lift brand equity and margins. Net result? Profits should come soaring back.Consequently, while Under Armour is still in the early stages of this pivot, JP Morgan thinks now is the time to buy into Under Armour stock.But, this argument misses two critical risks: competition and valuation. Ultimately, those two risks will cap near to medium term upside in Under Armour stock. Competition Risks Are SizableBroadly speaking, the big growth niche in the athletic apparel space is in the convergence of athletic and leisure styles, and Under Armour has failed to keep pace with peers on the athleisure front.The rise of the internet and specifically visual-first social media has made consumers more aware of their image, health, and fitness than ever before. Consequently, consumers are increasingly trying to lead more healthy and fit lifestyles, and a big part of the image associated with that lifestyle is wearing athletic-style clothes that are simultaneously comfortable and can be worn anywhere, all the time. The fix? Athleisure styles.Under Armour completely missed the boat on this athleisure trend and continues to miss it today. While brands like Nike (NYSE:NKE), Adidas (OTCMKTS:ADDYY), and Lululemon (NASDAQ:LULU) really focused on becoming lifestyle brands with a product assortment that applies to all consumers, Under Armour has consistently doubled down on performance. That was the wrong move.Consequently, while the other three players have consistently grown at a double-digit rate over the past few quarters, Under Armour's growth has fallen flat.Falling inventories won't solve that problem. Sure, now Under Armour can roll out new premium product and stop discounting stuff, which will help margins. But the company also needs to fix its image by becoming more of a lifestyle brand. As of today, it doesn't seem like there is anything in the growth pipeline which will do that.Further, even if Under Armour does pivot into lifestyle, they have a lot of catching up to do. Nike, Lululemon, and Adidas are firing on all cylinders right now, and all three are only gaining momentum. Under Armour will have a tough time gaining share against that backdrop. Valuation Risks Cap UpsideConsidering the competitive backdrop and Under Armour's recent inability to gain share in that competitive landscape, today's valuation on Under Armour stock seems stretched.Under Armour stock trades at nearly 60-times forward earnings. Everyone else in this industry trades roughly between 20- and 35-times forward earnings and everyone else is growing much more quickly. As such, relative to current growth rates, Under Armour's 60 forward multiple seems absurd.Sure, the bulls keep touting the long term profit growth potential. Yes, this company does sit at low single digit operating margins, versus mid-teens operating margins over at Nike. Thus, if the company does fix its inventory and discount problems, margins have lots of runway to move higher, and that will provide fuel for robust profit growth.But, if you model all that out, the valuation still seems stretched. Realistically, the global athletic apparel market will grow at a 4-6% annualized pace over the next several years. Best case scenario, Under Armour maintains share in that market.Thus, revenue growth runs around 5% per year. Operating margins move significantly higher to above 10% with inventories cleared and discounting in the rear-view mirror.Under all those aggressive assumptions, Under Armour can realistically do about $1.50 in earnings per share by fiscal 2025. Based on a Nike-average 25x forward multiple, that implies a reasonable fiscal 2024 price target for UAA of $37.50. Using a 10% discount rate, that equates to a fiscal 2019 price target of just over $23. Bottom Line on Under Armour StockUnder Armour's inventories are falling. That's good. It means the company does have runway to stabilize growth over the next several years, and push margins significantly higher. But, all that news is already priced into the stock, and the growth narrative is still riddled with competition risks. Thus, near term upside in UAA stock seems capped at $25 by competition and valuation risks.As of this writing, Luke Lango was long NKE and LULU.

3 Big Stock Charts for Monday: Davita, Clorox and Expedia Group
The bulls did their best to make good on Thursday's flimsy turnaround effort, but it just wasn't meant to be. The S&P 500 lost 0.58% of its value on Friday, sliding back below a key technical line in the sand setting the stage for a bearish start to this week.Source: Allan Ajifo via Wikimedia (Modified)Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) did the most damage, falling 7.6% following news that its autopilot system was engaged during a fatal crash, on top of worries that a major cost-cutting initiative may be a sign of more trouble for the already-beleaguered company. Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) suffered the bigger loss though, tumbling 16.5% after the so-called Google of China booked its first quarterly loss in over a decade.There was a handful of winners, although only a handful. Under Armour (NYSE:UAA) gained 7.8% in response to a bullish note from JPMorgan touted the athletic apparel company's "controlled confidence" and the resulting potential for a 2020 turnaround.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * 10 Baby Boomer Stocks to Buy None are great prospects as Monday's session gets going, however. Rather, the stock charts of Clorox (NYSE:CLX), Expedia Group (NASDAQ:EXPE) and Davita (NYSE:DVA) are worth closer looks. Here's why. Davita (DVA)The rebound Davita was trying to stage last month didn't just falter. It broke, and then led into a high-conviction move to even lower lows. With Friday's loss in the bag though, DVA shares may have just broken past the point of salvaging without making a much lower low first.The good news is, there's a pretty good idea about where that bottom will be made and the next rebound effort takes shape. Click to Enlarge * The $49.50 level, plotted in red on the daily chart, was the last bastion of hope. That's where Davita stock hit a low in March, but failed to find a floor last week. * Notice all four key moving average lines are also now sloped downward, making it clear that the tide is bearish in all relevant timeframes. * If DVA is going to find support anywhere, in particular, it's most likely going to be around the support line that's tagged most of the key lows evident on the weekly chart, going back to 2016. It's currently around $46.50, but falling fast. Clorox (CLX)A month ago, Clorox shares looked like they would be in fine shape. Not only were they finding support at their 200-day moving average (highlighted) on the daily chart, they had just pushed up and off that line to start what appeared to be a breakout thrust.The sheer severity of the plunge suffered on the first day of May is a major red flag in and of itself. But, what's taken shape in the meantime makes bad news even worse. One more misstep could easily open the selling floodgates again. * 7 Stocks to Buy that Lost 10% Last Week Click to Enlarge * Following the early May tumble, a near-term trading range between $145.70 and $149.93 has taken shape, plotted with white dashed lines. This well-defined pause means the next move out of it could persist a while. * Underscoring the bearish tide is Friday's high volume behind the moderate selloff of CLX shares. * Although it has not happened yet, the purple 50-day moving average line is close to falling under the white 200-day line. If that so-called "death cross" takes shape, it could spark a wave of programmed selling. * Zooming out to the weekly chart we can see there's a long-term support level around $111, but more than that, we can see Clorox may not find a firm bottom until the RSI indicates gets much closer to 30. Expedia Group (EXPE)A month ago, Expedia Group shares appeared to be back on top. They were rallying out of March's lull, having pushed up and off a long-term support line that extends all the way back to 2015.That move was ultimately quelled by a bump into what has since clearly become a near-term resistance line. The early May high of $131.71 lines up with the past two major peaks. The subsequent slide, however, isn't like many of the prior ones that quickly stopped their bleeding. Click to Enlarge * The chief concern here is how much bearish volume has materialized just since the stock started to sell off in early May. We've not seen it quite that persistent yet. * Underscoring the budding bearish momentum is last week's death cross, where the purple 50-day moving average line has broken below the 200-day average. * Even so, there's a technical floor currently just above $110 that has to be appreciated. It's marked with a white dashed line on the weekly chart of EXPE.As of this writing, James Brumley did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Under Armour's stock surges after J.P. Morgan turns bullish, citing management's 'controlled confidence'
Shares of Under Armour Inc. jumped 3.5% in premarket trade Friday, after J.P. Morgan turned bullish on the athletic gear maker for the first time in at least three years, following an upbeat meeting with management.
