April 29 (Reuters) - Germany's Adidas on
Wednesday reported better-than-expected operating profit in the
first quarter, as demand for its sportswear helped it keep
prices stable despite weaker consumer sentiment.
Operating profit in the first three months of 2026 rose by
16% to 705 million euros ($825 million), above the 647 million
euros projected by analysts in a company-compiled poll.
Adidas reported 610 million in operating profit in the same
period a year earlier.
