Swoosh Earnings

Or more like UnSwoosh !

So Nike, just released it's quarterly earnings and a couple of quick takeaways

▸ Growth is slowing. The days of riding the "athleisure" trend to new highs are over.

▸ There's increased competition from the likes of UnderArmour and a recently resurgent Adidas.

▸ Apparently there were 3 analyst downgrades for Nike pretty recently and it did translate to a weak earnings report.

▸ On the positive side, China sales are growing. 

▸ LeBron (Nike ambassador) just won the championship, so should result in some momentum going forward.

▸ The rio olympics are coming up, should be a positive catalyst.

▸ Overall though I am going to be on the sidelines with Nike, wait and watch. (I have owned Nike stock for a while.)


App Pitch:

And this is why individual investors should watch earnings. While we are on the subject of investing, here's an iphone app to help you keep track of earnings.
