Read MoreHide Full Article

On Holding AG (ONON - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter 2024 results on May 14, before the opening bell. In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 154.6%.

Q1 Estimates

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the bottom line is pegged at 16 cents per share, indicating no change from the year-ago levels. In the past 30 days, estimates for current-quarter earnings have witnessed downward revisions of 5.9%. The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $555.5 million, suggesting an increase of 22.3% from the prior-year actuals.

Factors to Note

On Holding is anticipated to have experienced a boost in performance in the first quarter, fueled by heightened brand demand, introduction of new stores, an expanding footprint in China and ongoing product innovation efforts. These factors, along with strategic investments in brand visibility and robust sales figures through wholesale partners, are likely to have driven revenue growth in the quarter under discussion.

ONON consistently introduces new and innovative products, ensuring a continuous stream of fresh offerings to attract customers. It strategically targets both male and female demographics, broadening its appeal and maximizing market reach. Additionally, the company's diverse range of wholesale partnerships, spanning from trend-setting retailers to specialty running shops, enhances its distribution network and visibility. These factors are likely to have aided the company’s performance in the quarter to be reported.

Looking at first-quarter 2024, considering the strong wholesale performance in the same period of 2023, On Holding projects a rise in direct-to-consumer market share and aims to achieve net sales growth rate of 26% at constant currency.

However, it's worth noting that increased costs of sales are expected to have negatively impacted the company's profit margin in the quarter under review.
