Portfolio Pulse from Nabaparna Bhattacharya
Nike, Inc. (NYSE:NKE) plans to cut approximately 740 jobs at its Oregon headquarters as part of a cost-saving initiative aiming to trim $2 billion in expenses over three years, in response to a projected revenue decline in the first half of fiscal 2025. This follows an earlier announcement of over 1,600 job cuts, about 2% of its workforce. Amid these cuts, Nike is finalizing a significant endorsement deal with WNBA draft first pick Caitlin Clark. The company's stock has lost over 24% in the past year, and investors can gain exposure to NKE through ETFs like NBCC and LUXX.
