Swiss Shoe Maker On Holding's Stock Jumps on Strong Sales, Outlook Lift
Shares of On Holding (ONON) rose on Tuesday after the Swiss sneaker maker reported better first-quarter revenue than analysts had expected and lifted its full-year sales outlook.
The company reported adjusted earnings per share of 0.21 Swiss francs ($0.25) on revenue of CHF726.6 million ($863.5 million). Analysts had expected CHF0.21 and CHF684 million ($812.9 million), respectively.
On co-CEO and CFO Martin Hoffmann, who will become sole CEO on July 1, said the company's "commitment to bold innovation, operational excellence, and elevated consumer experiences" would help it gain market share amid "the higher levels of planning uncertainty in today's market environment."
The shoe manufacturer said it now expects full-year sales to grow by at least 28% on a constant-currency basis rather than 27% previously, although it trimmed the low end of its adjusted EBITDA margin outlook to 16.5% from 17.0%.
"On acknowledges that recent global trade policy shifts have introduced higher levels of planning uncertainty, including the potential for increased customs and freight expenses, general volatility within the global supply chain, as well as the material depreciation of all key operating currencies against the Swiss Franc," the company said.
On Holding shares were up 5% soon after Tuesday's report. They entered the day down about 6% since the start of this year.

Transatlantic passengers heading for Miami had a 4-hour flight to nowhere, ending up back in Zurich
A Swiss International Airlines flight to Miami landed back in Zurich after a four-hour journey. The Airbus A340 had "an irregularity with an engine," the airline said. The flight changed directions a couple of times over the ocean before circling Zurich for an hour. Passengers expecting to travel transatlantic ended up on a four-hour flight-to-nowhere. Swiss International Airlines Flight 64 on Monday was supposed to be a 10-hour journey from Zurich to Miami. Passengers were already in for some disruption as it departed around an hour later than scheduled, per data from Flightradar24. Things went smoothly until an hour and a half into the journey, when the Airbus A340 started to turn around. The plane had not long started flying over the Atlantic Ocean before deciding to head back. It appeared to be going toward Switzerland, then turned toward Spain, before returning to its original path. After three hours in the air, the A340 was back in Swiss airspace. However, it then had to circle around Zurich a few times before it could land. An airline spokesperson told Business Insider that the plane returned due to "an irregularity with an engine." The four-engined plane involved in the incident, HB-JMH, is 21 years old. "As a precautionary measure, the crew decided to return to the home airport in Zurich, where we have the best maintenance facilities," they added. This is often the case in so-called flights to nowhere, where returning to a hub airport also makes it easier to re-route passengers. Those on the Swiss flight were rebooked on the fastest possible alternatives. "We regret the inconvenience caused to our passengers," the airline spokesperson said. Similar incidents have seen flights as long as 10 hours before returning to their original take-off point. For example, last November, a British Airways flight U-turned when it was halfway across the Atlantic. And after a plane crash at Toronto Airport in February, two transatlantic flights to nowhere were among dozens of planes that diverted. Read the original article on Business Insider

Morgan Stanley thinks the dollar has further to fall
Morgan Stanley thinks the dollar has further to fall — to levels last reached during the pandemic — driven lower by interest rate cuts and the strength of rival currencies. Strategists at the investment bank wrote in a report published over the weekend that they anticipate a 9% fall over the next 12 months to a value of 91 on the dollar index. The index measures the value against a basket of six currencies: the euro, yen, pound, Swiss franc, Canadian dollar, and Swedish krona. They said the greenback had declined faster than expected, already slumping to its year-end target price of 101 last month. It stood at 98.9 on Tuesday. The dollar's weakness is forecast to be most acute against safe-haven currencies such as the euro, yen, and franc, according to Morgan Stanley. "We think rates and currency markets have embarked on sizeable trends that will be sustained — taking the US dollar much lower and yields curves much steeper — after two years of swing trading within wide ranges," the strategists said. They forecast a rise in the value of the euro against the dollar to $1.25 and the pound to $1.45 by mid-2026. The US dollar index has fallen more than 10% since its mid-January highs of almost 110 reached soon before the inauguration of President Donald Trump and based on the expectation of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. The index rose again in February, but has since reversed course amid Trump's tariffs and ensuing trade war. The strategists forecast the yield on 10-year Treasurys to stand at 4% by the end of this year. "Treasury yields stage a much larger decline in 2026 as the Fed delivers 175 basis points of rate cuts on the back of weaker real growth and inflation moving back to target," they wrote. Morgan Stanley expects US GDP growth to come in at 1% both this year and in 2026. "Beyond tariffs, immigration restrictions also weigh on US growth, while we are skeptical of meaningful support from fiscal policy or deregulation," its economists wrote. The OECD said on Tuesday that the US economy would expand by 1.6% in 2025, down from its previous forecast of 2.8%.
