Under Armour has encountered a drop of 47.7% in the last 6 months which can be the reason of the unsatisfactory lower-than-estimated results of the fourth-quarter of 2016, rising interest rates and an unfortunate 2017 scenario. The share opened at 20.35 and then recorded a decline of 2.55% during the day.

On March 13th, the company announced Clay Dean as Chief Innovation Officer. Mr. Dean has previously worked for General Motors for more than twenty years, most recently leading GM's Global Advanced Design organization.

"Clay brings a unique perspective to Under Armour and deep roots in design, manufacturing and innovation that will be critical in guiding how we make and deliver products now and in the future," said Kevin Haley. "At Under Armour, a relentless pursuit of innovation is at the core of everything we do.
