BEAM is leaving the S&P 500 index due to its merger with Japan’s Suntory Holdings Ltd[5].

S&P Dow Jones Indices also said that Navient Corp. (NAVIV[6]) will will join the S&P 500, replacing SLM Corp. (SLM[7]) on the same date.

UA is currently a member of the S&P MidCap 400. It will be replaced on the S&P MidCap 400 by PolyOne Corp. (POL[8]) when UA joins the S&P 500 index.

On Thursday, UA stock tumbled after the company issued full-year revenue guidance that some analysts found too conservative[9] in the wake of strong first-quarter results.

Shares of Under Arnour rose more than 1% in Friday pre-market trading. UA stock closed at $50.42 per share on Thursday.
