Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Ben Levisohn]

  In our opinion, this was a fine quarter with no surprises; however, as we expected expenses are accelerating resulting in guidance that implies a meaningful reduction to Q3 and Q4 estimates. Also, gross margin headwinds are mounting as the favorability from raw materials has turned and supply chain disruptions in Mexico will persist for two Q��. Given NKE�� premium 25x multiple, we prefer to play its strength through its retail partners ([Foot Locker (FL) and Finish Line (FINL)]).

  The plaintiff, a privately held footwear company named Gravity Defyer, is claiming Under Armour purposefully named select new styles of shoes to sound similar to its own trademarked G Defy line of products. As a result, the company says consumers are being "misled" into buying Under Armour's footwear when they may have instead been searching for Gravity Defyer's wares.
  
  But the retailers? Really?
  Now, Gravity Defyer just announced it has revised its lawsuit to name more than a dozen additional online retailers for their participation in the trademark infringement, including Finish Line (NASDAQ: FINL  ) , Foot Locker (NYSE: FL  ) and its Champs Sports subsidiary, Nordstrom,�Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS  ) , Sport Chalet, Amazon.com� (NASDAQ: AMZN  ) and its Zappos subsidiary, Backcountry.com, Rogan's Shoes, Road Runner Sports Retail, MonkeySports, Holabird Sports, Eastbay, and Dodds Shoe Company.
