Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $11.23 billion, down 0.09% from the year-ago period.
NKE's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $3.56 per share and revenue of $47.11 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of 0% and +5.76%, respectively.
