Nike's Q4 Earnings: Profit Misses Expectations, Stock Slides, but Promotional Activity Boosts Revenue

Nike's fourth-quarter profit fell short of expectations, causing shares to drop. The sneaker-maker cited price cuts and weaker demand as factors affecting results, which an analyst believes reflect considerable headwinds facing the U.S. economy. Nike aims to maintain higher prices and drive full-priced growth, despite a highly promotional market. The company reported a 5% increase in revenue but a decline in net income. Concerns about inflation, rising interest rates, and weaker discretionary spending persist, suggesting the economy is not yet in the clear. Nike plans to continue its strategy of selling directly and through wholesale partnerships with retailers like Macy's and DSW.
