Platinum International Brands Fund Nik Dvornak | “Amer Sport is a Finnish company with a portfolio of niche sporting brands like Arc'teryx, Salomon and Wilson. In this video we explained how new management gave them the capital and expertise to truly unlock their potential. Amer Sport's sales grew 19% in 2024 and are projected to grow 23% in 2025. This growth is coming from the higher-margin, faster-growing Arc'teryx and Salomon brands. This shift in the mix resulted in earnings growth of 5x in 2024 and an expected 34% in 2025. We anticipate this combination of top-line growth and margin expansion will persist, given the brands' early stages of penetration in key geographies and product categories. Amer now have the ability to pay down a large and tax-inefficient debt load. BSD Analysis: Amer Sports is leaning hard into athleisure and premium sports equipment with Wilson, Arc'teryx, and Salomon — three brands gaining real global momentum. Arc'teryx alone could justify the long-term bull case. Margins are expanding as DTC ramps and product mix shifts toward higher-ticket performance gear. Debt is elevated post-IPO, but the growth engine looks strong. The market worries about valuation, missing the brand strength. If execution stays tight, Amer becomes a multi-brand global winner. A premium consumer growth story with runway.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Sep 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
