Nike Stock Rebounds Despite Tariff Risks

When Nike's CEO took office last year, he made it clear that the company would once again return to its sportswear roots. He also had a plan to turn things around and make Nike great again.

But the tariffs and the weak recovery in the Chinese market have made things a little difficult for Nike. Despite these risks, the quarterly report of Nike showed strong revenue numbers.

Nike'S Revenue Was Above Forecasts

In fact, the revenue was way higher than the forecasts from the Wall Street gurus. So, Nike is doing really well as far as revenue is concerned.

During the time period, Nike has managed to clear out the old inventory. They were also able to clear out some of their lifestyle product lines. So, now their main focus is to introduce innovative shoes that are specifically focused on sports.

According to experts, Nike is taking all the right steps to stage a turnaround. Also, the momentum for the turnaround is building, and it's a good thing for Nike.

In the North American region, Nike has managed to get double-digit growth in the training, running, and basketball categories.

However, Nike will need to work on its digital business as the customer engagement is still weak. In that regard, the revenues have dropped 12% in just one quarter.

As for the direct to customer business, experts believe that it will not return to growth during the FY2026. That has to do with the fact that Nike had to offer steep discounts to clear some of its old inventory.

We are also fast approaching the holiday shopping season, but it will be different this time. From high inflation to tariffs, the consumer sentiment and demand will remain weak.

Meanwhile, Nike is also working hard for the soccer World Cup that's going to happen next year. They are doing intensive marketing efforts to stay relevant and ahead of the game.
