Nike:
Beat earnings estimates. The company posted earnings of $0.46 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.39.
Beat revenue estimates. The company saw revenue figures of $8.55 billion, beating our consensus estimate of $8.39 billion.
Total revenues were up about 5% on a year-over-year basis. Revenues from the Nike brand were up 4% to $8.1 billion, while revenues for Converse were down 4% to $408 million.
Earnings were down about 8% from the year-ago period. Nike cited a decline in gross margin and higher selling and administrative expense as reasons for the earnings slump.
“This quarter, led by our Consumer Direct Offense, we accelerated international growth and built underlying momentum in our domestic business,” said CEO Mark Parker. “For the back half of the fiscal year, NIKE’s innovation line-up is as strong as it’s ever been and we’ll continue to actively shape retail through new differentiated experiences.”
Here’s a graph that looks at Nike’s earnings surprise history:
Nike, Inc., based near Beaverton, Oregon, is the world's leading designer, marketer and distributor of authentic athletic footwear, apparel, equipment and accessories for a wide variety of sports and fitness activities.
