Amer Sports shares rise on Q1 beat and raised full-year guidance

None

Amer Sports, Inc. (AS) is up 3.4% today. Here is some analysis on what might have caused this price movement.

Analysis: The most likely catalyst is the company’s first-quarter 2026 earnings release, which showed strong revenue growth and margin expansion, alongside an increase to its full-year 2026 revenue, margin, and EPS outlook. Investors also appeared to focus on continued momentum in key growth engines such as Arc’teryx and Salomon softgoods.

Details:

  • Amer Sports reported Q1 2026 revenue of about $1.95 billion, up 32% year over year (about +26% on a constant-currency basis).
  • Adjusted diluted EPS was about $0.38 for the quarter, with management highlighting results coming in above its prior guidance.
  • The company raised its full-year 2026 outlook, including reported revenue growth of roughly 20%–22% and adjusted diluted EPS of about $1.18–$1.23.
  • One potential investor watch item: inventories were up about 33% year over year at quarter-end, which can raise questions about demand durability if growth slows.
