Puma SE fell as much as 8.4% after the German sports company said earnings this year will be weaker than expected, citing factors including the devaluation of the Argentine peso.

Earnings will probably be in a range of €620 million ($675 million) to €700 million this year, the company said in a statement. That’s lower than the €784 million average of analyst estimates.
