Under Armour, Inc.experienced a significant stock price increase of 13.94%, closing at $7.03 per share following the announcement of a $400 million debt offering. The new senior notes, which carry a yield rate of 7.25% and will mature in 2030, are intended to refinance existing debt, specifically a $600 million batch of senior notes due in 2026. This strategic move is expected to provide financial relief and extend the company's debt maturity profile, which is crucial in the current tightening credit environment.
The company also announced the extension of its exclusive apparel partnership with the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) through 2029, enhancing its brand visibility and market presence in collegiate sports. This partnership, which began in 2018, allows Under Armour to maintain exclusive access to uniforms and gear for CIAA member schools, potentially driving sales and brand loyalty among young athletes and fans.
