UAA has a price-earnings ratio of 64.55 and UA has a price-earnings ratio of 35.45. In terms of the P-E ratio, the lower the number, the better. UA has a slightly negative P-E ratio and UAA has a very negative ratio. " A low P-E might indicate a number of negative factors, including, but not limited to projected lower earnings. However, it is important to note that each value should be looked at in combination with other factors" (http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/uaa/stock-comparison#ixzz4c0AX6iOB). This may not be the case for Under Armour as the company 's retained earnings continue to increase. Although, these negative values should be frequently considered when investing in the company because the more negative the ratio becomes, the less money the company may be earning, and as a result may reduce interest from potential investors.

popular, but in marketing there is no clear goal. It seems that they wanted to do more than they are capable of: “the issue partly stems from Under Armour 's presence in several categories within sportswear, and could be particularly harmful at a time when consumers are pulling back from spending on apparel” (Pasquarelli “Spread Too Thin: Under Armour’s Marketing Dilemma”). Victoria’s Secret would be one very peculiar example, since they sell underwear mostly. The connection is obvious, the goal is to feel confident in lingerie, you need to work out, and what outfit would be better to the gym than theirs which is feminine and pretty.
