COST URBN FIVE ONON

On Holding AG (ONON - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2023 results on Aug 15, before the opening bell. In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 77.8%.

Q2 Estimates

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the bottom line is pegged at 13 cents per share, indicating a decline of 13.3% year over year. The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $466.8 million, suggesting a rise of 54.3% year over year.

Factors to Note

ONON is expected to have witnessed top-line growth in the second quarter on the back of higher sales across regions including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of World. Strong direct-to-consumer and wholesale sales are anticipated to have been the main growth drivers.

Additionally, On Holding’s solid product pipeline, success across multiple sales channels and return to regular product supply bode well. It continues to gain from improved operational environment and product availability compared with the prior year. Strong demand for the latter half of this year is being propelled by both current product offerings and the anticipation of exciting new product releases.

However, it's worth noting that increased costs of sales might have impacted the company's profit margin during the quarter.
