Investing.com - Under Armour, Inc. (NYSE:UAA) will part ways with basketball star Stephen Curry in 2026 following a 12-month wind down process, according to Telsey Advisory Group, which maintained its Market Perform rating and $5.00 price target on the stock. The athletic apparel company, currently trading at $4.66, is hovering just above its 52-week low of $4.35.

The final Curry signature shoe, the Curry 13, will be released in February 2026, with additional colors and apparel collaborations available through October 2026, marking the end of a partnership that began in 2013.

The Curry basketball business is expected to generate $100-$120 million in revenues in fiscal year 2026, representing approximately 10% of Under Armour’s footwear sales and about 2% of total company sales.

Under Armour formed the Curry brand in 2020 and granted the NBA star a lifetime deal in 2023, with several athletes signed under the brand, including De’Aaron Fox, whose latest signature shoe recently launched.

Telsey noted the separation is not expected to significantly impact Under Armour’s profitability, while potential suitors for the Curry brand could include Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Puma, Reebok, Anta Sports, and Li-Ning.
