Adidas
It appears that adidas may be on the up and up following a decline after its separation from Ye. Analysts are expecting the sportswear brand to report a profit margin of 51.4% in Q2 2024, according to Business of Fashion. To note, this figure would mark adidas’ highest growth rate in the last three years.
In Q1 2024, adidas showcased an 8% increase in revenue, which beat sales expectations, according to the outlet. The brand’s Originals footwear is a key factor in driving this growth with successful models like the Samba and Gazelle. Adidas CEO Bjorn Gulden said that the brand is “not as good as [it] should be” financially post-YEEZY. However, analysts are predicting the quarterly revenue to increase by 4.5% to 5.6 billion EUR ($6.1 billion USD).
adidas is set to release its Q2 2024 financial report on July 31.
