Shares of Amer Sports (AS), the parent company of brands like Wilson and Salomon, are trading lower on Tuesday despite beating revenue estimates in its first quarter results.

Amer Sports CFO Andrew Page joins the Morning Brief to discuss the results and provide insight into the company's performance and outlook.

He notes that Amer Sports' products align well with this trend, sustaining demand. Pertaining to Amer Sports in particular, Page states, "Consumers continue to still take care of their health and take care of their ability to exercise, their ability to feel good, and our products play in that space very well."
