𝙉𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙀𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙨 This week Nike $NKE (NIKE) will report fiscal first-quarter results following a tough year in the athletic apparel sector. The company faces inventory pressures, slowing demand in key markets like China, and intensifying competition from emerging brands. Analysts are watching for guidance on holiday season expectations and commentary about pricing power amid cautious consumer spending driven by cost of living pressures. Nike's results often serve as an indicator for discretionary spending trends leading up to Christmas, with implications for broader retail and consumer name brands. Generally, athletic apparel has underperformed in 2025, making this report critical for sector sentiment heading into the crucial year-end period. Historical dominance is not a guarantee of future success. Investors should be cautious when investing. I am avoiding this sector altogether for the @bajabus portfolio.
