The impact of the coronarvirus is perhaps the cherry on top of the sportswear company's issues. Negative impact from the virus, which has alreadypeople around the world, has caused the company to lower its initial outlook for 2020. Under Armour estimated in its earning release that the fallout from the outbreak will cost the company $50 million to $60 million in sales for the first quarter of the year.

Strictly as a consumer, UnderArmour products are very high quality. The basketball shoes are super comfortable too. I'm a fan 👍
