Bernstein analyst Aneesha Sherman upgraded the German sportswear giant to Outperform from Market Perform this past week, raising her price target to 190 euros ($204.50) from \u20ac155. \u201cAdidas brand heat languished through 2022,\u201d Sherman wrote. \u201cNow we are seeing it heat up again.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n<p>Sherman sees three factors stoking Adidas stock. First, its China business, which had fallen behind rivals, is reviving. (Adidas\u2019 fashionable Samba and T-toe styles have also been selling well globally.) In the U.S., Lionel Messi, fresh off last year\u2019s World Cup win, agreed to join Major League Soccer\u2019s Inter Miami, partially owned by soccer legend David Beckham. Adidas has sponsored Messi for 15 years. Third, Yeezy shoes recently sold out without backlash for the brand, allowing Adidas to escape the inventory overhang produced by its costly break with rapper Kanye West.<\/p>\n<p>These factors set up 2024 for growth, Sherman writes, adding that it isn\u2019t a leap of faith to assume the shares are too cheap, despite its American depositary receipts rocketing up nearly 40% this year to $95.13. Even if the company undershoots its income margin goal of 10%\u2014Sherman\u2019s model has a slightly lower margin\u2014a return to high-single-digit revenue growth \u201calready gives us considerable upside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adidas\u2019 gains this year stand in contrast to<br \/>\n        Nike<span>,<\/span><br \/>\n       which is down nearly 12% in 2023. Nike and<br \/>\n        Foot Locker<br \/>\n       got frosty reactions from investors after reporting earnings. Meanwhile, Adidas has been on a winning streak along with<br \/>\n        Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods<br \/>\n       and<br \/>\n        Lululemon Athletica<span>,<\/span><br \/>\n       whose stocks jumped on strong results. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Write to <\/strong>Teresa Rivas at teresa.rivas@barrons.com<\/p>\n<h4>Next Week<\/h4>\n<h2>Monday 6\/19<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Equity and fixed-income<\/strong> markets are closed in observance of Juneteenth National Independence Day.<\/p>\n<p>\n        Raytheon Technologies<br \/>\n       hosts an investor meeting in Paris coinciding with the Paris Air Show. <\/p>\n<p><strong>The National Association <\/strong>of Home Builders releases its Housing Market Index for June.
