On Holding (ONON) shares fell 4.5% in premarket trading at the time of writing on Tuesday, despite the Swiss sportswear company reporting record quarterly sales and raising its full-year gross margin outlook. However, the company left its full-year revenue growth forecast unchanged.

The company reported third-quarter net sales of CHF 931.4 million ($1.14 billion), up 17.2% year-over-year, or 17.8% on a constant-currency basis. Revenue was essentially in line with analyst expectations of CHF 931.58 million, according to Fiscal.

Management Sees Q4 Growth Acceleration

On maintained its full-year 2026 net sales growth outlook in the low-20% range on a constant-currency basis, implying revenue of CHF 3.47 billion to CHF 3.56 billion at current exchange rates.

The company said it expects fourth-quarter sales growth to accelerate as its holiday campaign gains traction and new products reach consumers. However, it also plans to maintain its premium positioning and full-price discipline despite a promotional retail environment.

Founder and Co-CEO Caspar Coppetti called the Cloudsurfer 3 the“first proof point” of the company's biggest innovation cycle. On also described its Cloudtilt sneaker as one of the industry's fastest-growing franchises and said its latest Zendaya collection became its most visible apparel launch yet.
