The athletic apparel maker's shares have seen an increase of 9.86% over the last month, surpassing the Consumer Discretionary sector's gain of 8.82% and the S&P 500's gain of 7.49%.
The investment community will be paying close attention to the earnings performance of Nike in its upcoming release. The company is slated to reveal its earnings on December 21, 2023. On that day, Nike is projected to report earnings of $0.85 per share, which would represent no growth from the prior-year quarter. In the meantime, our current consensus estimate forecasts the revenue to be $13.41 billion, indicating a 0.71% growth compared to the corresponding quarter of the prior year.
For the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $3.74 per share and revenue of $53.14 billion, which would represent changes of +15.79% and +3.75%, respectively, from the prior year.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for Nike. These latest adjustments often mirror the shifting dynamics of short-term business patterns. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
The Zacks Rank system, spanning from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), boasts an impressive track record of outperformance, audited externally, with #1 ranked stocks yielding an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has witnessed a 0.15% decrease. As of now, Nike holds a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
Looking at valuation, Nike is presently trading at a Forward P/E ratio of 28.8. This signifies a premium in comparison to the average Forward P/E of 15.57 for its industry.
Also, we should mention that NKE has a PEG ratio of 1.79. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company's expected earnings growth rate.
