Nike Stock Tumbles to 11-Year Low After Earnings Report

Management forecast a 2% to 4% revenue decline next quarter as tariff-driven costs and weaker China sales pressured margins.

  • Nike shares fell 11% on Wednesday following Q3 FY2026 earnings that beat estimates but delivered a disappointing forward outlook, pushing the stock toward multi-year lows.
  • Management guided for a Q4 revenue decline of 2% to 4%, while gross margins contracted 130 basis points to 40.2% due to tariff-driven cost increases in North America.
  • Greater China revenue is expected to drop 20% in the current fiscal quarter, while Converse revenues collapsed 35% and NIKE Direct and digital revenues declined 4% and 9% respectively.
  • JPMorgan Chase cut its Nike stock price target from $86 to $52, signaling concerns that CEO Elliott Hill's restructuring efforts have delivered promises rather than concrete results.
  • Competitors including On Running, Hoka, and New Balance have gained market share among younger consumers, though the upcoming FIFA 2026 World Cup may provide a marketing catalyst for brand momentum.
