Financials Market: On misses Q2 revenue; currency change may explain

Zusammenfassung des Signals

On reported second-quarter net sales of 850.3 million Swiss francs, a 13.5% year‑over‑year increase (21.6% on a constant currency basis), which missed analysts' expectations for mid‑20s constant‑currency growth. Direct‑to‑consumer (DTC) sales rose 26% while wholesale grew 4.8%; regionally, Asia‑Pacific led with 43.1% growth and the Americas were up 4.5%. The company lowered its full‑year outlook to low‑20% constant‑currency net sales growth and a gross profit margin of at least 65% (down slightly from prior guidance). Analysts cited currency effects and limited visibility in international and wholesale channels as drivers of the disconnect with Street estimates.
