Ahead of an Investor Day scheduled for Thursday, September 17, Amer Sports, Inc. has raised its guidance for earnings and sales for the third quarter while updating its long-term financial algorithm.

The Investor Day will be webcast live from Annecy, France and focus on prospects for the Salomon brand. Amer held an Investor Day showcasing its Arc’Teryx brand in September 2025.

CEO James Zheng commented, “Our unique portfolio of premium sports & outdoor brands continues to deliver great financial results in a challenging marketplace, led by continued strong growth across all three segments. We are excited to showcase the Salomon brand to the market during our investor day tomorrow.”

CFO Andrew Page added, “In addition to another strong third quarter, we also expect great things from our company long-term. Given our confidence in our three key growth engines: Arc’teryx, Salomon Softgoods, and Wilson Tennis 360, we are pleased to reiterate the 5-year financial algorithm for Amer Sports Group, despite our significantly higher revenue and margin base versus a year ago.”
