Hold Rating on Nike: Balancing Short-Term Positives with Long-Term UncertaintiesWe remain Equal-weight rated but have grown incrementally negative vs. 3M ago. While we think NKE’s poor fundamentals continue to get some degree of a pass N-T, we have grown incrementally negative on our Equal-weight thesis vs. 3M ago. This shift in view comes as 1) some components of the bull thesis that previously muted the bear case have moved in the wrong direction (i.e., positive channel checks are not materializing & the magnitude of rate of change seems less clear than 3M ago), & 2) valuation sits at elevated levels even on P/ E). Additionally, while mgmt.

Analysts Have Conflicting Sentiments on These Consumer Cyclical Companies: VF (NYSE: VFC), Nike (NYSE: NKE) and Chewy (NYSE: CHWY)We expect a 1Q25 EPS beat (9/30 AMC) driven by stronger sales/lower SG&A. We expect mgmt to sound upbeat around new product innovation in performance running and reiterate their plan to get inventory clean by end of 2Q. Investors will be focused on consumer reception to new product this fall as a sign of whether NKE can build on their new product successes in 2H26. We expect investors to be focused on how spring’26 orderbooks look vs positive single-digit orderbooks this fall/holiday to gauge whether NKE’s cc sales can inflect positively in either 3Q/4Q. For 2Q, we expect mgmt to guide sales down ~$0.45-0.50 (cons $0.51). While NKE is seeing some early wins in running, we remain cautious on the sustainability of topline growth without visibility into a return to growth in key areas like basketball/sportswear (>50% of sales). We see a balanced risk/reward into 1Q EPS.

Positive Outlook for Nike: Buy Rating Supported by Inventory Clearance and Strong Product Demand5:31 PM Williams Trading NIKE (NKE) Footwear & Raising Ests. & PT. Proof that Patience is a Virtue is Adjusting estimates, and raising PT from $73 to $100. NKE will report 1Q26 earnings in late September. Nike sales and margins will begin to positively inflect within six weeks, in our opinion. We believe the U.S. marketplace will be pretty much cleaned up by the end of September. However, excess inventory of a few other styles remain in the marketplace. The cleanup in Greater China is underway, but will likely take another 6 to 9 months to become evident.
