Asics North America Delivers 23% Q1 Sales Growth With Running and Sportstyle Strength Asics North America reported its fourth consecutive quarterly profit to start fiscal 2026.
Net sales in the first quarter were up 23%, with all three regions in North America, the U.S., Canada and Mexico, delivering double-digit growth.
Performance running and sportstyle sneakers, including the Blast footwear franchise, were key drivers of the quarter, with the sportstyle category showing particularly strong sales.
The breadth of growth across regions and product lines points to solid demand for Asics brands in North America, with performance running and sportstyle now acting as key pillars for the business in that region.
Investors may want to watch how sustainable demand for the Blast franchise and sportstyle category remains over coming quarters, as any slowdown in these product lines could have a meaningful impact on the North American contribution to group results. Reported Earnings • May 14

Anta Sports Reportedly Exploring Bid for Puma Chinese sportswear maker ANTA Sports Products Limited (SEHK:2020) is among firms exploring a potential takeover of German sportswear brand PUMA SE (XTRA:PUM), Bloomberg News reported on November 27, 2025. Hong Kong-listed Anta has been working with an adviser to evaluate a bid for Puma, and the company may team up with a private equity firm if it decides to move forward with an offer, the Bloomberg report said, citing people familiar with the matter. Other potential bidders could include Chinese sportswear group Li Ning Company Limited (SEHK:2331), which has been discussing financing options with banks as it takes an early look at Puma, according to the report. Puma may also attract interest from Japanese sportswear company ASICS Corporation (TSE:7936), the report said. Anta Sports, Puma, and Asics did not immediately respond to Reuters‘ requests for comment. Li-Ning said in an emailed statement to Reuters that the company “has not engaged in any substantive negotiations or evaluations regarding the transaction mentioned in the news”, adding that the company continues to focus on the growth and development of its brand. Puma’s biggest shareholder Artemis, the privately-owned holding company that controls Gucci owner Kering, has said it is considering all options for its 29% stake, though a source close to the firm told Reuters in September it would not sell at the market value then. Puma’s market valuation is currently at EUR 2,520 million ($2,920 million), according to LSEG data. The Pinault family, which controls Artemis, acquired its Puma stake in 2018 from Kering when the luxury group transformed into a pure luxury player focused on brands like Gucci and Saint Laurent.
