Some sources reported a consensus expectation of 28 US cents, while this one states 30 c.
The athletic giant reported adjusted earnings of 54 cents a share, ahead of consensus estimates for 30 cents, according to FactSet.
Revenue fell by 9% year over year to $11.3 billion, but was better than the $11 billion analysts had priced in.
The result was thus clearly better than expected, but in after-hours trading, there was a rather sensitive reaction based on the company’s comments. First, it surged up several percent, after which it ended clearly down 4.8%.
For the fiscal fourth quarter, Nike expects revenue to be down in the low midteens range, in line with the 12% decline analysts had penciled in. Gross margins will be down approximately four to five percentage points. This estimate includes the impacts of newly implemented tariffs from Chinese imports, and reflects the uncertainty in the operating environment, including geopolitical dynamics and declining consumer confidence.
"Q4 will reflect the largest impact from our WinNow actions and that the headwinds to revenue and gross margin will begin to moderate from there, " said Matthew Friend, Nike’s chief financial officer.
I don’t know if my view is due to my new personal investments in the company, but I took the above comment positively - revenue and margins will start to improve after the next quarter. Uncertainty, on the other hand, was highlighted by tariffs imposed by Trump, which also affect Nike. In addition, there are concerns about whether Nike’s product development is strong enough to beat competitors. And similarly, the sales network should be restructured, and there is still plenty of inventory to clear.
