0756 GMT - Adidas's financial progress seems encouraging and the company should continue to experience positive trends, RBC Capital Markets analysts Piral Dadhania and Nikolaos Lafioniatis write in a research note. The German maker of sporting gear reported quarterly net profit of 443 million euros, roughly 71% higher than in the prior-year period. It also confirmed prereleased figures, with a 7% sales increase to 6.44 billion euros and an operating profit of 598 million euros. "Adidas is undergoing fairly significant change behind the scenes, with CEO Bjorn Gulden reviewing almost all aspects of the business," they say. The analysts expect a continuation of strong revenue trends in the final quarter of the current year, as well as in 2025. Shares closed at 213.80 euros on Monday. (andrea.figueras@wsj.com)
