Heading into today, shares of the athletic apparel maker had gained 2.48% over the past month, outpacing the Consumer Discretionary sector's loss of 1.63% and the S&P 500's gain of 0.89%.
Investors will be eagerly watching for the performance of Nike in its upcoming earnings disclosure. The company's earnings report is set to be unveiled on December 18, 2025. It is anticipated that the company will report an EPS of $0.37, marking a 52.56% fall compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Alongside, our most recent consensus estimate is anticipating revenue of $12.15 billion, indicating a 1.66% downward movement from the same quarter last year.
For the annual period, the Zacks Consensus Estimates anticipate earnings of $1.65 per share and a revenue of $46.72 billion, signifying shifts of -23.61% and +0.89%, respectively, from the last year.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for Nike should also be noted by investors. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. Therefore, positive revisions in estimates convey analysts' confidence in the business performance and profit potential.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To exploit this, we've formed the Zacks Rank, a quantitative model that includes these estimate changes and presents a viable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system, spanning from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), boasts an impressive track record of outperformance, audited externally, with #1 ranked stocks yielding an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Over the past month, there's been a 0.35% rise in the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. Nike currently has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
