Industry War Room “2005 was another successful year for the Adidas-Salomon AG share. Our share increased 35% compared to the 2004 year end level.” (Adidas) Adidas was planning a buyback of shares but instead used free cash to purchase Reebok. This will only add to sales and keeps stockholders stocks going up. “Over the last ten years, our share has gained 312%. It thereby developed significantly better than both the DAX-30, which increased 140%, and the MSCI World Index, which rose 86% during the same period.” (Adidas) All this adds up to Adidas being a very solid and strong company to put your money behind.
