Research Alert: On Holding Posts Double Beat On Strength In Asia

By

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

On Holding reported net sales of CHF831.9M vs. CHF727M, CHF10M above estimates, marking 14.5% reported growth (26.4% constant currency). Adjusted EPS surged 68.2% to CHF0.37 vs. CHF0.22 in the prior year and CHF0.10 above consensus, while gross margin expanded 430 bps to 64.2% despite U.S. tariff headwinds. We view the post-earnings share weakness as a buying opportunity and believe On remains the top name in footwear given its execution and brand strength. The company raised full-year gross margin guidance to at least 64.5% while reiterating constant currency growth of at least 23%. Geographic performance was broad-based, led by Asia-Pacific's 44.4% growth, while both DTC and Wholesale channels showed healthy momentum. The continued margin expansion demonstrates On's pricing power and operational leverage, with apparel emerging as a key growth driver at 45.1% growth. We expect the company to maintain its premium positioning while expanding globally under its new co-CEO leadership structure.

Research Alert: Pou Q1: 2026 Production Guidance Raised, Alhambra Phase 2 Ahead Of Schedule

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:POU reported Q1 2026 production of 48,255 Boe/d, up 3% from Q4 2025, with net income of CAD53.2M (CAD0.36/share) versus a Q4 2025 loss of CAD1.9M and adjusted funds flow rising to CAD143.4M from CAD140.1M. Netback expanded 22% to CAD35.22/Boe, lifted by higher commodity realizations, while the 16 Duvernay wells at Alhambra delivered strong 150-day peak production averaging 1,276 Boe/d per well. Management raised 2026 production guidance to 48k-52k Boe/d from 46k-51k Boe/d and reduced capex guidance by CAD50M to CAD1B-CAD1.1B. The Alhambra phase 2 expansion is substantially complete, with June 2026 start-up one month ahead of schedule. We believe the combination of the production guidance raise, netback expansion, and earlier Alhambra phase 2 timing is constructive, with Willesden Green plateau potential increased 40% to 70k Boe/d sustainable for over 20 years and 2027 exit production exceeding 100k Boe/d as Sinclair Montney development comes onstream.
