Coming into today, shares of the athletic apparel maker had gained 4.03% in the past month. In that same time, the Consumer Discretionary sector lost 1.09%, while the S&P 500 gained 0.73%.

Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $12.31 billion, down 0.3% from the prior-year quarter.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for Nike. 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. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
The Zacks Rank system, which ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
