Poor Performance & Competition
Losing the popularity of its Yeezy brand, Adidas could lose many fashion consumers back to it main competitor Nike (NKE - Free Report) . Adidas stock is up +12% year to date to top Nike’s +6% and the S&P 500’s +3%.
However, the rebound attempt may be overdone considering the decline in earnings estimates as Adidas stock Is still down -54% over the last two years to largely underperform Nike’s -10% and the benchmark.

Furthermore, over the last decade, Adidas is only up +47% and has continued to lag the S&P 500’s +154%, Nike’s +319%, and the Shoe & Retail Apparel Markets +273%. This purgatory-like performance could continue with other companies like New Balance and Skechers (SKX - Free Report) ) becoming more fashionable and capitalizing on trends among younger generations.
Bottom Line
Investors will want to be cautious of Adidas stock as the earnings picture continues to decline for the company. With inflation headwinds still affecting the broader Consumer Discretionary sector ending its Yeezy partnership has unfortunately added more financial risk to Adidas and opened the door for increased competition.
