Morgan Stanley analyst Lauren Cassel noted that Adidas (ADDYY), which is covered by Ed Aubin and Elena Mariani, reported North American revenue growth that was strong on an absolute basis but showed some deceleration on a 1- and 2-year basis. While she expects Adidas' North American revenue growth to continue to outpace Nike (NKE), she said the top-line deceleration is a positive for Nike. Cassel keeps an Overweight rating on Nike while noting that her peers at the firm maintain an Equal Weight rating on Adidas.
