PUMA SE (PUMSY) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Transcript

Puma stock was up 8% after filings showed Mike Ashley's Frasers Group built a 5.77% stake in the retailer.

I continue to rate PUMA SE as "Buy," after identifying positive read-throughs from its 4Q25 beat. The company's pivot toward the higher-margin Direct-To-Consumer channel and the popular training category bode well for its 2026 financial outlook. ANTA's 29% minority investment could accelerate Puma's China growth and enhance sourcing efficiencies.
