Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i
Any thoughts on Amer Sports? They own the very successful Arcteryx clothing line as well as many other sports related businesses. At about $35, was $42 not long ago. Chip Wilson recently sold $160 million but still has 18% through his holding company. He appears to be raising cash (any idea for what?). The stock has tripled since IPO about 2 years ago. Your thoughts? How would it compare to another of your great calls, Aritzia?
Thanks, Greg

Q: Good afternoon;

My initial question was going to be solely about On Holdings. It is almost getting to be one of those companies that'd capture the interest of Peter Lynch, as it is showing itself across sports these days. Yet the real question is likely a bit bigger picture...

Could you provide me with your take on the "Active Wear" apparel market these days? I've provided a few names that may be competitors and there are more. All things being equal is this a sector worth investing in at this time given what seems to be lacklustre performance of many companies and "turnaroud" becoming a bit of a buzzword.

If you could also provide a best - least best top 5 to consider in this sector that would be appreciated.

Thanks as always,

Dave
