Nike stock hits 13-year low, analysts see more downside

Nike's shares are set to open at their lowest since 2013 following a disappointing fiscal Q1 2027 report. Despite beating earnings expectations, revenue slightly missed and the company guided for high single-digit revenue declines in fiscal 2027. A $2.5 billion cost savings plan was announced, along with further layoffs. Shares fell 9% premarket and are down ~45% year-to-date. Analysts remain cautious, citing challenges in sportswear, Jordan, and China, and see limited visibility for a turnaround. Several firms lowered price targets, with Wells Fargo noting a ~25% cut to Street EPS estimates. The November investor day is seen as a key catalyst for any potential recovery.

• Nike reports fiscal Q1 2027 EPS of $0.48 vs $0.43 expected.
• Revenue came in at $11.21 billion, slightly below the consensus of $11.32 billion.
• Company guides for high single-digit revenue decline in fiscal 2027.
