Nike Faces Sales Decline Amid Global Challenges
Nike’s shares have reached a five-year low as the company struggles with a challenging global environment marked by tariffs and consumer caution. The sportswear giant reported a significant drop in sales, particularly in its Jordan brand and classic footwear lines, contributing to a “mid-teens” percentage decline in revenue projections for the upcoming quarter. This decline in performance is further exacerbated by a strong U.S. dollar and unfavorable shipment timing in North America. Despite a positive holiday season, external factors such as geopolitical tensions, new tariffs, and volatile exchange rates have dampened expectations. The company is actively working to shift strategies and boost investment to regain its market position against rivals like Adidas and emerging brands like On, Hoka, and Lululemon.
