The athletic apparel maker's shares have seen a decrease of 0.14% over the last month, not keeping up with the Consumer Discretionary sector's gain of 1.11% and the S&P 500's gain of 3.64%.
The upcoming earnings release of Nike will be of great interest to investors. The company's earnings report is expected on March 21, 2024. The company's earnings per share (EPS) are projected to be $0.70, reflecting a 11.39% decrease from the same quarter last year. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $12.29 billion, down 0.82% from the prior-year quarter.
Looking at the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $3.57 per share and revenue of $51.75 billion. These totals would mark changes of +10.53% and +1.04%, respectively, from last year.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for Nike. Such recent modifications usually signify the changing landscape of near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Our research demonstrates that these adjustments in estimates directly associate with imminent stock price performance. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
