Nike Inc. reported better-than-expected earnings, yet its stock dropped after the company announced it would be withdrawing its financial forecast for the full year and postponing its first investor day in seven years.
Nike (NKE) shares moved sharply lower in extended trading on Tuesday after the apparel and equipment giant withdrew its full-year outlook and said it plans to postpone its upcoming investor day ahead of the company's transition to a new CEO later this month.
I upgrade Nike to a ‘Buy' rating with a one-year target price of $98 per share, reflecting current stock price challenges. Nike's Q1 results show -9% revenue growth, with wholesale and Nike Direct revenue dropping by 7% and 12%, respectively, due to weak consumer sentiment and China market. NKE is accelerating product innovation with new launches like Pegasus 41 and Air Max Dn, aiming to boost growth despite near-term challenges.
CFRA's Zachary Warring says it could take Nike at least a year to work through the challenges it's currently facing, from stiffer competition to better capturing demand.
The consequences of its flawed direct-to-consumer (D2C) strategy continue to haunt Nike. As reported Tuesday (Oct. 1), the company's revenue showed weakness across all channels as it tried to curry favor with its wholesale partners and recapture some of the magic that brought it double-digit growth a decade ago.

Nike (NKE, Financial) has announced it will withdraw its annual performance guidance and delay its Investor Day event as it prepares for a new CEO. Last month, Nike revealed that current CEO John Donahoe will depart in October, with veteran executive Elliott Hill assuming the role effective October 14.
Although the revenue and EPS for Nike (NKE) give a sense of how its business performed in the quarter ended August 2024, it might be worth considering how some key metrics compare with Wall Street estimates and the year-ago numbers.
Nike (NKE) shares tumbled in extended trading Tuesday after the company withdrew its full-year outlook ahead of its transition to a new CEO later this month.
