TREE NEWS update: Adidas reported third-quarter operating profit of €1.01bn, up 37% year on year and a record for the period, with revenue rising 9% to a record €7.25bn. The German sportswear maker said it had received most US tariff claims, with refunds amounting to €200m, and raised its fiscal 2026 operating profit guidance to about €2.5bn from around €2.3bn. It expects currency-neutral revenue growth of 9%-10% in 2026 and plans to reinvest about €100m in the fourth quarter.

AI take
The tariff refund is the detail worth pausing on: recovering €200m in claims turns a cost headwind into a one-off cushion, which muddies how much of the record quarter reflects underlying demand versus recovered cash. The raised fiscal 2026 guidance is the more forward-looking signal, and the planned €100m fourth-quarter reinvestment suggests management is choosing to spend into momentum rather than bank the beat. Whether that reinvestment shows up as durable currency-neutral growth or merely defends share is the open question.
