How much will On Running earn in net sales from shoes in Q4 2022?

Multiple choice Opened 13 October 2022 Closed 1 January 2023 Resolved 5 April 2023 128 forecasts 53 forecasters
Synthetic biology has the potential to play a key role in creating a circular economy where bioengineered microorganisms are used to recycle plastics and other petrochemicals. On, a Swiss running shoe company, has partnered with synthetic biology company LanzaTech to produce CleanCloud, an EVA foam for running shoes made from recycled carbon emissions rather than conventional petroleum-based EVA. EVA is one of On’s most used materials, and this partnership plays a significant role in On’s efforts to become more sustainable and develop a circular supply chain
This question will close for forecasting on 31 December 2022 and resolve using “Net sales by product” in On’s fourth quarter 2022 financial statement, which is expected to be released in March 2023. Net sales from shoes from past quarters are available below. Numbers are reported in thousands of Swiss Francs (CHF).
