Alternative ways to invest in Adidas

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Adidas), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

Adidas is a major part of the XETRA, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is Adidas under- or over-valued?

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Adidas P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

Adidas's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 196x. In other words, Adidas's shares trade at around 196x recent earnings.

Adidas's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.6062. A PEG ratio below 1 can be interpreted as meaning the shares are not overvalued given the current rate of growth.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Adidas's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Adidas's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping €1.2 billion (£1 billion).

The EBITDA is a measure of Adidas's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
