Despite 14 percent sales growth in the second quarter and a windfall from the recent World Cup, Adidas saw its shares post their biggest one-day drop in more than six years. Adidas’ operating profit rose 5.1 percent to hit 574 million euros, but that figure was still around 49 million euros below market expectations. The biggest sales increases for the brand came in Latin America, where Adidas sales rocketed 28 percent, followed by Japan and South Korea, where they climbed 18 percent. In Greater China, Adidas notched a “extremely strong” 15 percent sales growth. Sales of Adidas accessories rose 20 percent, fueled by the World Cup as well as a resolution of some sourcing problems.
