On June 18, Nike rose 3.09% in regular trading, trading at $45.55/share, with turnover of $252 million. The rally was driven by the ongoing FIFA World Cup hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico, which kicked off on June 12 and has been steadily gaining momentum.
Nike, along with Adidas and Puma, sponsors nearly 80% of national team jerseys at the tournament. Retail stores have fully embraced World Cup-themed promotions, and the marketing battle among the three sportswear giants has entered a critical phase. Market expectations point to a short-term sales uplift for sports brands during the tournament cycle, boosting sector-wide sentiment.
However, investors should note that Nike's fundamentals remain under pressure. The company is scheduled to report fiscal fourth-quarter earnings on June 30, with consensus EPS expectations at just $0.11, significantly below the $0.35 reported in the prior quarter.
