How Verified Investing’s view on $NKE changed

Nike. Oh, that's Nike. I apologize.

We'll get to Nike, which unfortunately is going down even more.

Now, if there's heavy volume in the pre-market on something like a a Nike, I will use that.

The big one, folks, is Nike. Take a look. You guys saw this a little earlier, but Nike beating on earnings, but missing on revenue and missing on their guidance. They lowered guidance.

So, you can see right there, EPS actual was 48 cents versus expected to be 44. So, they beat by 4 cents on a headline basis. That is actually pretty good. But when you look under the hood of that car, things don't look so good.

Revenue missing 11.21 billion versus 11.32 billion expected. And the key in and this is always the key for every stock is what's the guidance because the earnings and revenue are what happened last quarter.

What's the guidance? And guidance they lowered to 1.15 to 1.35 from a buck 69 that had been expected. So, they lowered guidance pretty hefty.

So, for instance, Nike, right? Nike is basically at multi-deade lows, at 52- week lows. It has been a horrendous performer. And so, what you see into quarter end is window undressing where institutional money managers sell if they were holding Nike, they dump Nike into quarter end because they don't want to show it to the clients that they were in it.
