Nike shares fell 14.04% in pre-market trading. Nike exceeded fourth-quarter fiscal earnings estimates with adjusted earnings of $1.01 per share, but sales of $12.6 billion fell short of expectations. Annual revenue of $51.4 billion also missed the $51.6 billion target, despite adjusted earnings of $3.95 per share surpassing forecasts of $3.70 per share. Nike predicted a surprising revenue decline for fiscal 2025, expecting a mid-single-digit percentage drop, against analystsโ expected increase of 0.91%. This is due to weakened demand for its sneakers, as it loses market share to newer brands like On and Hoka. Nike said it cut overstocked brands and invested in better running shoes, and plans new versions of the Air Max line. For the next quarter, Nike expects a revenue drop of about 10%. Due to Nikeโs unexpected fiscal 2025 revenue drop prediction, shares of JD Sports and Puma fell significantly, while Adidas shares saw a brief increase followed by a drop. Analysts expect Adidas to gain market share as Nike recalibrates its business until at least spring 2025.

Call Traders View Opportunity in Nike (NKE) Stock's Plummet
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | December 22, 2023
โข The security is eyeing its worst day since September 2022
โข Nike will cut hundreds of jobs to save costs
Nike Inc (NYSE:NKE) capped off earnings reports for 2023 with better-than-expected second-quarter profits of $1.03 per share, though revenue missed the mark. The retailer also slashed its annual forecast and noted it will cut hundreds of jobs to save $2 billion in the next three years, as consumers remain cautious and online sales lag, spurring more promotions.
NKE was last seen down 10.3% at $109.87, following a downgrade from TD Cowen to "perform" from "outperform," and a price-target cut to $104 from $129. Another five firms cut their price objectives as well, while two raised theirs. Coming into today, 20 of the 28 analysts covering Nike stock rated it a "buy" or better.
The shares are today gapping below the 40-day moving average for the first time since early October, pivoting lower from their highest level since May as they eye their worst day since September 2022. For 2023, Nike stock now carries a more than 6% deficit.
Options traders are viewing this pullback as an opportunity. So far today, 92,000 calls and 75,000 puts have crossed the tape, volume that 21 times what is typically seen at this point. The weekly 12/22 110-strike call is the most popular contract, with positions being opened there and expiring at the close.
Nike stock is no stranger to bullish activity. The security's Schaefferโs open interest ratio (SOIR) sits in the 2nd percentile of its annual range, pointing to a particularly strong call bias amongst short-term options traders.

Nike cut at CFRA Research as 'company faces competition'
By: Investing | December 22, 2023
Nike (NYSE:NKE) was cut to Sell from Hold at CFRA Research on Friday, following the company's latest earnings release, which resulted in its shares tumbling over 11%.
The firm maintained a $91 per share price target on the stock, and its FY 24 and FY 25 EPS estimates of $3.50 and $3.75, respectively.
"NKE posts normalized Q2 EPS of $1.03 vs. $0.85, $0.18 above estimates on revenues of $13.39B vs. $13.32B and $39M below estimates," explained CFRA analysts. "Nike Direct sales increased 6% with Nike Digital increasing 4%. By region, North America revenues declined 4% Y/Y, Europe increased 2%, Greater China improved 4%, and APAC and Latin America increased 13%."
Nike's gross margin expanded 170 bps year-over-year to 44.6%, driven by higher strategic pricing and lower freight costs.
"Although Nike maintains a fortress balance sheet with significant capital returns, we believe the multiple will trend back down to pre-pandemic levels as the company faces competition from brands like HOKA and On while it looks for new growth drivers and focuses on cutting costs," added CFRA analysts.
