(AI Video Summary)

Low profits and dissapointing earnings outlook

Adidas, a sportswear maker, reported lower than expected profits and provided a disappointing outlook for its future earnings. As a result, the company's shares dropped significantly, causing concerns among investors. Adidas aims to sell its remaining inventory of Yeezy shoes at cost to offset the impact.

Reasons for this weak forecast

However, the market's response reflects doubt in Adidas' ability to sustain growth. The reasons for this weak forecast could be due to increased competition, changing consumer preferences, or challenges in the global economy. To recover from this setback, Adidas will need to adjust its strategies, focus on innovation, and expand into new markets. These actions will determine its ability to regain investor confidence and sustain growth in the long term.
