The main story this week was adidas’ third-quarter results and a full-year guidance hike.

The Week Ahead
Adidas (ADDYY) reports first three quarters of fiscal 2026 before market open on Thursday, 29 October, with revenue estimated near $8.02 billion. That will be the next checkpoint after this week’s Q3 operating profit beat and raised FY26 outlook. On the macro side, the Dallas Fed manufacturing index lands on Monday, 26 October, followed by durable goods orders, FHFA and Case Shiller home prices and consumer confidence on Tuesday, 27 October.
In Short
Adidas pulled back after a volume-driven spike this week and finished near flat, but the 37% jump in Q3 operating profit and the raised full-year outlook provided a fundamental push for the attempted move higher. The consensus rating sits at buy with a target above spot, while the stock remains above its 20-day moving average of $85.06 and 60-day moving average of $86.93. The gap between the weekly high of $92.33 and the range high of $96.91 is still open. The key test ahead is whether the 29 October report confirms this week’s guidance hike and whether price can reclaim the weekly peak.
