Nike's Upcoming Earnings Report and What It Means for Investors (June 27, 2024)
$Nike(NKE)$ is set to release its fourth-quarter earnings report for fiscal 2024 on June 27, 2024, after market close. This report is highly anticipated due to Nike’s strong market presence and potential to impact stock movement significantly, as evidenced by the current options data.
Key Expectations
Analysts are optimistic about Nike’s performance in Q4, projecting an increase in sales and profit compared to last year. The consensus estimate for Nike’s earnings per share (EPS) is 84 cents on revenues of $12.9 billion. This marks a notable improvement from the $1.03 billion profit or 66 cents per share on $12.83 billion in revenue reported in the same quarter of the previous year (Investopedia) (Nasdaq).
Options Data Insights
The latest options data provides further insights into market expectations. With an implied movement of 7.98%, Nike’s stock price is anticipated to fluctuate between $86.09 and $101.03 by the options expiration date of June 28, 2024. The put/call ratio is 0.84, indicating a relatively bullish sentiment among options traders (Nike Investors).
Market Sentiment and Influences
Nike’s upcoming earnings call will likely focus on fiscal 2025 guidance, which analysts from Bank of America Securities and Wedbush Securities highlight as a critical factor for future stock performance. The company’s Chief Financial Officer, Matthew Friend, previously mentioned a projected low-single-digit revenue decline in the first half of fiscal 2025 due to shifts in product portfolio and macroeconomic challenges (Investopedia).
Moreover, starting next month, the Summer Olympics will boost Nike’s sales through strategic product launches and heightened marketing campaigns.
