Nike expected to beat Q1 earnings with improved margins and stable North America sales, says Jefferies

Jefferies forecasts Nike to show first-quarter progress with better margins driven by lower discounts and cleaner inventories, despite a promotional industry backdrop. Revenue is expected at $11.5 billion, above consensus, with earnings per share at $0.48 beating estimates. Challenges remain in Europe, Middle East, Africa, and China, with some product lines still declining. The upcoming November investor day is seen as a key event for long-term guidance.

Nike shares are trading at USD 36.48 on Pluang as of Sep 29, 2026 01:51 WIB, up 2.04% in one day. The stock's market cap stands at $53.04 billion, with a dividend yield of 4.59%. Pluang investors show strong interest, with 99% of order activity on the buy side, reflecting confidence despite ongoing regional challenges.
