Insights
Large affiliated purchases increase Under Armour stake via Fairfax subsidiaries.
The disclosure shows entities affiliated with Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited significantly adding to both Class A and Class C Under Armour shares. Purchases on January 27, 2026 and January 28, 2026 were all coded "P", indicating open-market or similar purchases rather than derivative exercises.
Prices clustered tightly around $6.20 per share for Class C and about $6.30 for Class A, suggesting steady accumulation rather than opportunistic block trades. The resulting indirect holdings of 21,999,128 Class C and 43,000,872 Class A shares indicate a substantial economic exposure to Under Armour.
Footnote language is important: the securities are held by wholly-owned Fairfax subsidiaries, and each reporting person, including Prem Watsa, disclaims beneficial ownership beyond any pecuniary interest. This means the economic exposure sits within the Fairfax group, and the filing clarifies control relationships without asserting full personal ownership by any individual.
