Amer Sports Chief Strategy Officer Exercises Options to Acquire More than $7 Million Worth of Shares
Victor Wen-Chang Chen, the Chief Strategy Officer at Amer Sports (NYSE: AS), exercised stock options and acquired a net total of 285,034 shares following the sale of 117,461 shares to cover exercise costs and taxes. The transaction was disclosed in an SEC Form 4 filing and involved a non-discretionary disposition tied to equity compensation obligations rather than a discretionary market signal from management. Chen's direct holdings increased significantly after this activity, rising from approximately 150,000 shares before the transaction to over 434,855 shares afterward. This represents an ownership stake of about 0.075% in Amer Sports as of September 2026. The company reported a one-year stock return of -29% up until that date. Amer Sports operates across three divisions—Technical Apparel, Sports Equipment, and Footwear—and serves global markets with premium athletic products under brands like Arc'teryx and Peak Performance.
