The Numbers Don't Lie: Why Nike's Losing Race Against S&P

Nike's recent earnings report raised concerns as its annual forecast missed Wall Street estimates, indicating potential slowing growth. The company faces challenges from competitors like Under Armour and market changes such as the liquidation of Sports Authority. Additionally, the strong dollar has impacted Nike's sales growth. Despite these challenges, Nike's margins are at a 10-year high, though they are starting to plateau. Asia, particularly Greater China, remains a bright spot for Nike, with significant growth in future orders. Overall, Nike's revenue surpasses that of its major competitors combined.
