In this segment, Matt Griffin highlights key decliners, including Under Armour and Sweetgreen, detailing the factors contributing to their stock performance.

Under Armour Faces Revenue Headwinds

Under Armour (NASDAQ:UA) experienced a notable stock decline of over 5%. The athletic retailer has forecast a sharper than expected drop in revenue for the current year. This projection comes despite a challenging consumer environment across global markets, including North America, Asia, and Europe. The company has been undergoing a turnaround effort, which had previously been rewarded by investors. However, Bloomberg Intelligence reports indicate that Under Armour is not fully capitalizing on major sporting events, with consumers seemingly favoring competitors like Nike and Adidas for their sportswear purchases.

Sweetgreen Hit by Health Concerns and Outlook Cut

The fast-food salad chain Sweetgreen saw its stock ticker SG fall by 13%, contributing to a year-to-date decline of approximately 25%. This downturn is attributed to a slashed outlook for same-store sales, directly linked to an outbreak of illness caused by the cyclospora parasite. Sweetgreen now anticipates its same-store sales to fall by as much as 8% this year, a forecast twice as wide as previously projected. While DA Davidson analysts point to positive underlying signs in Sweetgreen's ongoing turnaround efforts, including investments in promotions and lower-cost menu items, the parasite outbreak has derailed traffic improvements. Importantly, Sweetgreen has stated that its supply chain has not been affected and that it does not use iceberg lettuce, which has been connected to the outbreak. Nevertheless, the incident has heightened consumer caution regarding fresh produce.
