Core Event: Share Slump Cuts Federer’s Net Worth Under $1 Billion
On Tuesday, the share price of On Holding AG, the Swiss sports-wear company in which tennis legend Roger Federer holds an equity stake, fell about 19%. The decline erased roughly $52 million from Federer’s fortune, bringing his net worth to an estimated $952.4 million, according to Forbes.
Background & Context: Federer’s Wealth Tied to On Holding Stake
Federer retired from professional tennis in 2022 after a 24-year career that generated about $131 million in prize money and 20 Grand Slam titles. His post-retirement wealth grew through endorsement deals—including Uniqlo—and a minority ownership position in On Holding. Forbes calculates that Federer owns roughly a 2.5 % stake in the company, which he joined as a co-owner in 2019. The stake helped lift his net worth to billionaire status in 2025.
Data & Statistics: Quarterly Performance and Financial Metrics
Forbes reports that On Holding posted second-quarter net sales of 850.4 million Swiss francs (? $1.04 billion), a 13 % year-over-year increase but short of analysts’ expectations of 878.4 million francs (? $1.08 billion). Despite the sales miss, the firm recorded net income of 105 million francs (? $129.4 million), a turnaround from a 40.9 million-franc loss in the comparable period last year. Gross-profit margin rose to 65.4 %, up from 61.5 % a year earlier, prompting On Holding to raise its full-year margin guidance to 65 %.
Impact and Outlook: Implications for Federer and On Holding
The market reaction lowered Federer’s billionaire status but did not alter On Holding’s underlying profitability. The company’s improved earnings and margin outlook suggest that the share dip may be a short-term response to missed sales targets rather than a fundamental weakness. No public comment from Federer or On Holding’s leadership has been reported in the sources, leaving the longer-term effect on the athlete’s net worth and the firm’s valuation uncertain.
