UBS analyst Jay Sole forecasts that Amer Sports will post better-than-expected Q2 results, reiterating a “buy” rating and raising the target price to $50 from the current trading level of about $37.20. CEO James Zheng previously noted strong footwear sales growth for the company’s Salomon and Arc’teryx brands. Analysis shows search interest for these two key brands has risen in both U.S. and international markets, with Arc’teryx U.S. searches up 61% in the three months to mid-July. However, tariffs could weigh more heavily on Q4 results.
