The European Football Championship will kick off in Germany on June 14th, marking the start of a grand summer for major sports events in Europe. Following closely, the Paris Olympics will open on July 26th. The arrival of these two major events has provided investment opportunities for many analysts.

Sports outfits.

For the sports outfit industry, the timing of the European Cup and the Olympics is crucial. In addition to$adidas AG (ADDYY.US)$has been struggling in the sports clothing industry in 2024 except for Adidas.

Baader Bank trader Marc Richter warned that "the industry is heavily reliant on the economy and consumption." Fortunately, the European Cup and the Olympics have brought boosts to the economy and quarterly earnings in the past.

the strong performance of the French team in past major events has boosted the quarterly sales of$Nike (NKE.US)$in Europe. For the 2024 European Cup, Nike will sponsor France, Croatia, Slovenia, England, Turkey, Portugal, Slovakia, Poland, and the Netherlands. Adidas will sponsor host country Germany, Scotland, Hungary, Spain, Italy, and Belgium. Meanwhile,$PUMA SE (PMMAF.US)$is sponsoring Switzerland, Serbia, the Czech Republic, and Austria. Apart from this, Italian sports brand Macron, Spanish sports brand Joma Sport S.A., and German-Danish company Hummel International are also worth paying attention to. Macron will sponsor Albania and Georgia, Joma will sponsor Romania and Ukraine, and Hummel will sponsor the Danish team.

In addition, Italian sports brand Macron, Spanish sports brand Joma Sport S.A. and German-Danish company Hummel International are also worth noting. Macron will sponsor Albania and Georgia, Joma will sponsor Romania and Ukraine, and Hummel will sponsor the Danish team.

The American company$Lululemon Athletica (LULU.US)$ and $Under Armour-A (UAA.US)$did not focus on the European Cup, but has strategically positioned its marketing for the Olympics.$On Holding (ONON.US)$is also expected to be a major participant this summer, as the company signed Zendaya as its brand ambassador last week, causing quite a stir.

The sports-related industry

The European Cup may also have an impact on companies other than the sports outfit industry.$Electronic Arts Inc (EA.US)$has benefited from the interest in football that erupted in the United States during and after the World Cup. Beer giants$Heineken NV Sponsored ADR (HEINY.US)$, $Carlsberg A/S Sponsored ADR Class B (CABGY.US)$(Carlsberg) and$Anheuser-Busch Inbev (BUD.US)$Both are expected to receive a boost in the summer, especially if the weather during the European Cup is favorable.

Barclays analyst Laurence Whyatt said: "If you can see the match-up that people expect on a beautiful summer day, such as England against Italy in the final or England against France, it will undoubtedly be helpful to the entire industry."

Sports gambling.

In addition, sports gambling companies on both sides of the Atlantic are expected to receive a significant boost, as the European Cup and the Olympics are held every four years, and comparative revenue data will be significantly supported when profit reports are released.

Companies expected to benefit from the rise in gambling trading volume include$Flutter Entertainment (FLUT.US)$, $ENTAIN PLC (GMVHF.US)$, $EVOKE PLC (EIHDF.US)$, $BETSSON AB (BTSBF.US)$, $KINDRED GROUP PLC SDR EACH REP 1 GBP0.000625 (KNDGF.US)$and$Super Group (SGHC.US)$Betway of$DraftKings (DKNG.US)$, $MGM Resorts International (MGM.US)$subsidiaries.$Genius Sports (GENI.US)$, $EVOLUTION AB UNSP ADR EACH REPR 1 ORD SHS (EVVTY.US)$ and $Sportradar Group AG (SRAD.US)$Also expected to benefit from it.

If investors want to cover the entire industry, they can pay attention to$Listed Fund Trust Roundhill Sports Betting And Igaming Etf (BETZ.US)$.

German economy

A key issue in hosting the European Cup has always been the economic impact of hosting the event. Deutsche Bank estimates that hosting countries typically provide a 0.1% boost to quarterly GDP, but if Germany replicates the glory of the 2006 'Summer Fairy Tale' (when Germany hosted the World Cup and reached the semi-finals), the impact this year could be even greater and more lasting.

Deutsche Bank analyst Robin Winkler emphasizes: 'However, it is important to note that if a successful sports event can boost the morale of a country (whether it is the host country or any other participating country), its impact may far exceed the direct spending associated with the event itself.'

Currently, according to relevant data statistics, the probability of Germany entering the final is about 15% to 20%. Investors can pay attention to ETFs focusing on Germany, such as$iShares MSCI Germany ETF (EWG.US)$, $NEW GERMANY FUND INC (GF.US)$, $Germany Alphadex First Trust (FGM.US)$, $Horizons Dax Germany Etf (DAX.US)$ and $Franklin Templeton Etf Tr Ftse Germany Etf (FLGR.US)$.
