Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Under Armour delivered double-digit revenue growth in EMEA and Latin America in 2Q26.
EMEA gains were driven by full-price wholesale strength, DTC growth and disciplined brand activations.
FY26 guidance calls for high-single-digit EMEA growth, helping offset pressure in other regions.
Under Armour, Inc. (UAA - Free Report) is seeing encouraging momentum outside North America, with EMEA and Latin America emerging as clear bright spots. While the company continues its broader global turnaround, performance in these regions highlights the effectiveness of its focused strategy, premium positioning and disciplined marketplace execution.
In EMEA, UAA delivered year-over-year revenue growth of 12% (7% on a currency-neutral basis) in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, driven by full-price wholesale strength and solid direct-to-consumer gains. Strategic brand activations, such as culturally relevant football campaigns and premium collaborations, have enhanced brand heat while maintaining pricing discipline. This balanced approach has allowed EMEA to achieve growth, reinforcing confidence in sustained regional momentum.
Latin America also posted standout results, with revenues increasing 15% (14% on a currency-neutral basis). Growth was broad-based across wholesale and DTC channels, supported by improving brand awareness and tighter marketplace management. The region’s performance reflects Under Armour’s ability to scale its brand with consistency while leveraging local demand dynamics effectively.
Management guidance reinforces this positive trajectory. For fiscal 2026, Under Armour expects EMEA revenues to grow at a high-single-digit rate, even as North America and APAC remain in reset mode. This outlook positions EMEA as a critical offset to near-term pressure elsewhere and a foundation for future global growth.
Overall, momentum in EMEA and Latin America underscores Under Armour’s progress in its international strategy. With clear guidance, disciplined execution and rising brand relevance, these regions are set to play a pivotal role in stabilizing results and supporting a return to sustainable, profitable growth.
