Let's look at how things have shaped up in the quarter.

Factors at Play

On Holding’s fourth-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from increased brand demand, new store openings, an expanding presence in China and product innovation. This and strategic investments in brand awareness and strong sell-out numbers at wholesale partners are likely to have driven the company’s top line in the to-be-reported quarter.

The company anticipates fourth-quarter wholesale growth to fall within the high single digits and expects continued strong growth rates in its direct-to-consumer (D2C) segment, aligning closely with previous quarters' performance.

Operational challenges in the U.S. business, delays in order deliveries and strategic store closures in the EMEA region are likely to have dented the company's performance in the fourth quarter. Currency fluctuations are likely to have affected the global sales growth rate in the to-be-reported quarter.
