Adidas’s shares increased on Wednesday after the business declared that it will raise its earnings projection for the entire year 2024 in response to second-quarter preliminary results that exceeded expectations.
After Wednesday’s market opening, Adidas increased by over 5%. As of 12:11 p.m. London time, it had increased by 3%.
The German sportswear firm announced late on Tuesday that, contrary to its earlier projection of 700 million euros, it now expects its operating profit to be approximately 1 billion euros ($1.09 billion) for the entire year 2024.
Adidas reported an 11% increase in revenue in the second quarter over the prior year. Currency-neutral revenue increased 16% in the quarter, excluding sales of the weak Yeezy brand in both years.
Adidas declared in January that the majority of their unsold Yeezy inventory would not be written off, but that the remaining shoes will be sold.
Adidas worked with rapper Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) on the Yeezy collection, but the two parted ways following a string of anti-Semitic comments.
