G Sachs lowered its net profit forecasts for Xtep International for 2026 and 2027 by 14% to 18% due to weaker-than-expected core brand sales, increased investment in the Xtep brand, and the impact of the offline direct retail transformation on sales and profit margins. Despite this, the firm maintains a 'Buy' rating, reflecting confidence in the growth potential of the Saucony brand and the overall revenue growth for Xtep.
