DA Davidson initiates coverage on Under Armour, Inc. (NYSE: UA) with a Neutral. PT $105.00.

Analyst, Andrew Burns, said, "We believe current valuation adequately reflects UA’s substantial growth prospects and leaves little room for error. We look to get more aggressive on a pull back or if our view on earnings growth improves."

"While we believe UA can hit guidance, the combination of robust valuation, lofty investor expectations, and some near-term headwinds keeps us from recommending the shares at this point."

"We are introducing 1Q12 revenue and EPS estimates of $381 million and $0.24. Our 2012 and 2013 estimates are $1.798 billion and $2.36 and $2.190 billion and $3.01, respectively."
