Amer Sports, Inc. (NYSE:AS) delivered a notably strong third-quarter update on Tuesday, with results coming in well ahead of Wall Street expectations thanks to robust demand across all business lines and regions. The upbeat numbers sent the company’s shares soaring 9.23% in pre-market trading.
The group reported adjusted EPS of $0.33, outperforming the analyst consensus of $0.25 by a wide margin. Quarterly revenue surged 30% to $1.76 billion, highlighting solid traction across its premium technical and outdoor brands. The Technical Apparel division — home to Arc’teryx — accelerated to 27% omni-comp growth, while the Outdoor Performance segment jumped 36%, driven largely by booming Salomon footwear sales and strong demand for winter equipment.
“Amer Sports’ strong momentum continued in the third quarter, as our unique portfolio of premium technical brands continues to create white space and take share in sports and outdoor markets around the world,” said CEO James Zheng. “All three segments performed extremely well led by exceptional Salomon footwear growth, an Arc’teryx omni-comp reacceleration, and solid growth from Wilson Tennis 360 and our Winter Sports Equipment franchises.”
The company saw broad-based strength globally, with Greater China up 47% and the Asia Pacific region climbing 54%. All regions posted double-digit growth. Profitability also improved, with the adjusted operating margin expanding 130 basis points to 15.7%.
In light of the strong momentum, Amer Sports raised its full-year 2025 guidance. It now anticipates 23–24% revenue growth and adjusted EPS of $0.88–0.92. The company also offered an early view of 2026, aiming for revenue gains near the upper range of its long-term target — low double-digit to mid-teen annual growth.
CFO Andrew Page emphasized how the company’s growth profile is evolving, noting, “Salomon footwear continues to add a strong second leg of profitable growth to Arc’teryx’s already exceptional trajectory, significantly elevating the financial profile and long-term value creation potential of the Amer Sports portfolio.”
