European stocks closed higher on Friday, as international relations and corporate earnings remained in focus.
The pan-European Stoxx 600 closed 0.5% higher, with most sectors and major bourses in positive territory.
It’s been a busy week of corporate earnings in Europe, with Friday a slightly quieter day on the earnings front before a flurry of companies report again next week.
Shares of German sportswear giant Adidas added almost 4% Friday after the company published an earnings update after the bell on Thursday. The preliminary figures showed currency-neutral revenues jumped 13% in 2025 to hit a record 24.8 billion euros ($29.6 billion).
