NIKE (NKE) Stock Forecast & Price Target
NIKE (NKE) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Nike's positive outlook is supported by a stronger-than-expected gross margin increase of 120 basis points year-over-year, exceeding initial guidance. The company's direct-to-consumer (DTC) strategy is accelerating, and it continues to gain market share in the growing global activewear segment, alongside ongoing supply chain innovations and strong product demand reflected in rising online searches. Additionally, upcoming product innovations and an easing of difficult sales comparisons in fiscal 2H26 are expected to drive recovery in sales, margins, and earnings per share (EPS) growth.
Bears say
Nike is facing a potential deterioration in its revenue trends, with forecasts indicating a low double-digit decline in reported revenue and a high single-digit decline when adjusted for constant foreign exchange. The company's gross margin is expected to decline significantly, with guidance suggesting a 300-350 basis points drop as it works through excess inventory, compared to a 100 basis points decline in the previous quarter. Furthermore, projected earnings per share (EPS) in a bear case scenario could fall to approximately $1.75, highlighting challenges in both revenue generation and margin retention amid a competitive landscape.
