Having put the theory to test on different company types (see below for details); time to try it on Sports Apparel stock; that I have always been curious. Putting $Under Armour Class A(UAA)$ to the test & see if it still fits the bill. Sidetrack: Below are stocks that I have covered. Interested ? Click to read. Please "Like" to show some love okie ?
