Share Price (as of market close 2026-08-14)
On Holding AG develops and distributes performance sports products under the On brand, including athletic footwear, apparel, and accessories across multiple performance categories, such as running, outdoor, training, tennis, and youth segments.
The company generates revenue through a direct-to-consumer model and wholesale distribution channels, selling its premium performance sports products to athletes and active consumers across global markets, including Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific.
The company targets performance-oriented athletes and active lifestyle consumers seeking premium sports footwear and apparel, with particular emphasis on the running and outdoor performance segments.
On Holding AG is a global performance sports brand with a market capitalization of $10.7 billion and TTM revenue of $3.98 billion, representing significant scale within the athletic footwear and apparel sector. The company maintains a disciplined approach to product innovation and brand positioning, competing in the premium performance sports market through differentiated footwear technology and design. With operations spanning multiple continents and a workforce of 3,963 employees, On has established a diversified geographic and product portfolio to capture growth opportunities across developed and emerging markets.
On Holding has had significant success due to its strong brand recognition. Even as other consumer discretionary companies have had to maintain business through price concessions, On has kept its premium pricing model. Management announced in its second-quarter report that it was taking a bold step to continue that policy.
That entails focusing on increasing higher-margin direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales, while intentionally limiting shipments to retailers. The result will be a drop in sales growth for the remainder of the year. Investors sent the stock plummeting on that revised guidance.
Co-CEO Casper Coppetti appears to be taking the long view, though, adding shares on the 20% drop after the Aug. 11 earnings report. If the company's strategy works in maintaining strong margins while still growing sales by over 20%, the timing will look prescient to investors in hindsight.
