Portfolio Pulse from Ryan Gustafson
Nike, Inc. (NYSE:NKE) reported Q2 earnings of $1.03 per share, beating estimates of 85 cents, but revenue fell short at $13.39 billion against expectations of $13.43 billion. Despite a gross margin increase to 44.6%, shares dropped 5.57% after-hours due to the revenue miss and news of cash and equivalents and short-term investments decreasing by $0.7 billion from last year. Nike plans to achieve up to $2 billion in cost savings over the next three years, with expected restructuring charges of $400 to $450 million.
