Adidas (ADDYY) ended the week down 1.18% at $81.45, while the S&P 500 slipped 0.08%, leaving the stock roughly 1.1 percentage points behind. Trading had a fade-the-rally shape: Monday (Sep 14) pushed to a weekly high of $83.827 before closing at $83.02, then Tuesday (Sep 15) dropped almost 1.7% and the next three sessions drifted sideways. Friday (Sep 18) tagged a weekly low of $80.80 before steadying. Weekly amplitude was 3.68% on heavier-than-usual volume.
Key Events
This week’s company news was mostly about shareholder and voting-rights disclosures. On Monday (Sep 14), Adidas reported 174 million total voting rights outstanding and said voting rights in its own shares fell to 0.91% from 3.04%; related party Ralf Kretschmer also bought a derivative worth EUR 9,994.63. On Tuesday (Sep 15), reports surfaced that Nike is close to a deal to enter Formula 1 and compete with Puma and Adidas. On Thursday (Sep 17), Artisan Partners Funds disclosed a 3.03% voting stake in Adidas. On Saturday (Sep 19), DZ BANK AG kept a buy rating on adidas AG (0OLD). Overall, there was no new product or operational disclosure; the flow leaned toward shareholder filings and competitive positioning.
Analyst Ratings
Covering the stock are 5 firms: 1 buy, 2 overweight and 2 hold, with no underweight or sell. Consensus rating is buy, with a target of $111.50, about 36.9% above the latest close of $81.45. Targets range from $90 to $132.50, a fairly wide spread that points to real disagreement about the upside. Within the apparel, accessories and luxury goods industry, Adidas ranks 18th out of 35 companies, putting it in the lower-to-middle tier of the peer set.
The Week Ahead
No Adidas earnings are due next week. The company’s 2026 fiscal Q3 results are scheduled for Oct 29 before the open, with consensus revenue near $8.209 billion. On the macro side, Tuesday (Sep 22) brings the Richmond Fed composite index, Wednesday (Sep 23) includes EIA weekly crude oil and Cushing inventories, and Thursday (Sep 24) has initial jobless claims, the current account balance, new home sales and EIA natural gas storage changes. Two threads from this week carry into next: further voting-rights updates, and whether Nike’s Formula 1 entry shifts the competitive pressure on Adidas.
In Short
Adidas slipped modestly this week and lagged the broader tape, with the news flow centred on shareholder and voting disclosures rather than operating catalysts. The sell-side consensus still sits at buy and the target price is above spot, but the wide target range and mid-to-low industry rank suggest brokers do not agree on how much upside is left. The next tests are the late-October results and how the Formula 1 story affects the competitive mix.
