Shares of shoes and apparel company On Holding AG (ONON) finished down in today’s trading as investors await its Q2 earnings results on August 13 before the market opens. Analysts are expecting earnings per share to come in at $0.18 on revenue of $562.7 million. This equates to 26.4% and 350% year-over-year increases, respectively, according to TipRanks’ data.
This is ideal because earnings per share should grow faster than revenue as this demonstrates a high degree of operating and financial leverage in the business. It’s also worth noting that ONON has beaten earnings estimates five times during the past eight quarters.
