Adidas AG is holding back on a potential profit upgrade due to tariff uncertainties, despite strong quarterly revenue. The company’s executives expressed caution about the volatile economic environment caused by ongoing trade negotiations and potential tariffs. The Adidas CEO acknowledged the difficulty of navigating the current tariff landscape.
“While we are pleased with our financial performance this quarter, the uncertain trade environment requires us to be prudent about future forecasts,” he said. Many multinational corporations are reevaluating their profit projections due to the uncertainty surrounding tariffs. Adidas is particularly exposed because of its extensive global supply chain, which could be disrupted by heightened tariffs.
