    Share price performance of over 50%

    The German sports equipment supplier Adidas is undisputedly one of the most popular and successful brands for leisure and professional sports. Around the globe the brand with the three stripes stands for quality. On the stock exchange, Adidas has delivered a good share price performance for its shareholders in 2019. On the first trading day in the new year, the shares changed hands at less than EUR 184.00. Today, Friday, shortly before Christmas, the company's shares are trading at over EUR 289.00. The share price development of +105.00 EUR or significantly more than +50% is a great gift.

From the beginning of the year until today the shares of Nike have increased from below EU 64.00 to currently above EUR 89.00. The increase of over EUR 25.00 or almost 40% should also please shareholders at the end of the week. The market value of Adidas at the current price level is approximately EUR 57 billion and its competitor Nike is valued at approximately EUR 143 billion.

    Price potential after financing round

    The young label RYU Apparel is based in Vancouver, Canada, and works from there on developing the brand. The product line is also sporty and very high quality. In contrast to the big competition, RYU Apparel focuses on the longer and more timeless success of its products. As a result, the margin can remain stable and the product portfolio can be offered to the target group in the shops of various major cities in North America and presented online in a more practical way in the initial phase. The company is currently working on financing to further expand its growth. As soon as the capital injection is completed, the shares should pick up speed again.

    The Big Turnaround: Could Adidas and Nike Still Make a Comeback? RE Royalties Surprises with Innovative Financing Deals

    • Lifestyle products
    • Consumer goods
    • ESG financing
    • Sustainability
    • Sportswear

    This leap backfired! Anyone looking at share price performance in the sporting goods industry will recognise a radical shift. The reason the former champions of sport are coming under increasing pressure lies in their traditional way of selling products. Today, a great trainer sells not only through compelling quality, which can sometimes come at a price, but also through emotion, environmental protection and conviction. Ultimately, industry giants relied on their retro products for too long, opening the door for aggressive challenger brands. The innovative newcomers combine athleticism with sustainability arguments and are adapting their production chains to a discerning, young customer base. New adhesives or recycled plastic reuse win at the checkout. Canadian company RE Royalties, which has established itself as a pioneer in royalty-based financing in the renewable energy sector, is also delivering genuine surprises. By opening up an entirely new line of business, the company offers tailored capital structures specifically aimed at decarbonising large industrial groups. Ultimately, this development shows that environmental responsibility and financial returns no longer have to be at odds.

    Beneath the Surface: Why the Market Is Overlooking the True Value of Nike, Desert Gold and Vonovia

    With an iceberg, only the tip protrudes from the water; the vast majority remains hidden. The situation is similar right now with Nike, Desert Gold Ventures and Vonovia - their true value lies beneath the surface. Analysts estimate their fair value to be two to seven times their current stock prices. But how long will it take for the stock market to discover these hidden values? For Nike, the future outfitter of the German national soccer team, the moment of truth arrives today—even as the Nations League match between Germany and Serbia is underway in Munich. For Desert Gold, the upcoming start of production is likely to provide the impetus, while Vonovia must brace itself for a waiting game following the election results in Berlin.

    Printing, Sports and Gold: Heidelberger Druck, Adidas and Desert Gold Deserve Your Attention Now

    • Gold
    • Production
    • Commodities
    • Sportswear

    Today, we are looking at three companies that deserve your full attention. Adidas is demonstrating operational strength, yet the market may be viewing the company with undue skepticism. Heidelberger Druck is moving partly away from its traditional printing business and is also eyeing the defence and security sector, where the business outlook appears more promising. Canadian mining company Desert Gold, meanwhile, is approaching a decisive step toward its first gold production. Together, these developments create an interesting mix of industries and warrant a closer look at these three stocks. Because between printing presses, sports shoes and gold bars lie opportunities that investors should know about.
