Read MoreHide Full Article
Nike (NKE - Free Report) closed at $97.33 in the latest trading session, marking a -1.02% move from the prior day. This move lagged the S&P 500's daily gain of 0.36%. Elsewhere, the Dow gained 0.62%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq added 0.35%.
Investors will be hoping for strength from NKE as it approaches its next earnings release. On that day, NKE is projected to report earnings of $0.39 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 54.65%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $9.03 billion, down 15.3% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $2.25 per share and revenue of $39.27 billion. These totals would mark changes of +40.63% and +4.99%, respectively, from last year.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for NKE. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
