Over the past few years Under Armour, Inc. (NYSE: UA) has gone from being a "one trick pony" with products suited to base apparel for men to a legitimate player in categories such as cotton, golf, women, underwear, footwear, camouflage, and equipment, said Sam Poser, an analyst with Sterne Agee.

Commenting on the company's long term outlook, Poser said "We expect margin growth as scale builds and greater efficiencies are executed, as most new categories are in their infancy."

Under Armour will report the results of its third quarter ended September 30, 2012 on Thursday, October 25, 2012 at 7:00 a.m. ET.

Stern Agee is forecasting 3Q12 EPS of $0.52 versus $0.44 in 2Q11. Analysts expect 27 percent revenue growth and gross margins to increase 80bps due to easing cost inflation and early fruits of supply chain efficiencies, partially offset by increased lower margin footwear sales.

Sterne Agee has a Buy rating on Under Armour and a price target of $64.00.
