Shares of the athletic apparel maker have appreciated by 0.78% over the course of the past month, outperforming the Consumer Discretionary sector's loss of 2.8% and the S&P 500's loss of 4.13%.
The investment community will be paying close attention to the earnings performance of Nike in its upcoming release. The company is slated to reveal its earnings on March 20, 2025. The company is expected to report EPS of $0.28, down 71.43% from the prior-year quarter. Meanwhile, the latest consensus estimate predicts the revenue to be $11.12 billion, indicating a 10.57% decrease compared to the same quarter of the previous year.
For the entire fiscal year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $2.05 per share and a revenue of $46.24 billion, representing changes of -48.1% and -9.98%, respectively, from the prior year.
Additionally, investors should keep an eye on any recent revisions to analyst forecasts for Nike. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. Consequently, upward revisions in estimates express analysts' positivity towards the company's business operations and its ability to generate profits.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. To utilize this, we have created the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model that integrates these estimate changes and provides a functional rating system.
