Russia Expands Crackdown on McDonalds

Reebok and Adidas may part ways after eight years, with investors from Hong Kong and Abu Dhabi planning a $2.2 billion bid. Adidas, which bought Reebok for nearly $4 billion in 2006, is facing financial challenges, including a cut in earnings outlook despite a 15% increase in third-quarter net profit. The world's largest business management software maker is shifting focus to cloud technology. Meanwhile, McDonald's is under scrutiny in Russia, with regulators inspecting over 200 restaurants and closing nine, possibly in response to Western sanctions.
