Nike hold ratings jump from 13 to 19 as current-quarter EPS consensus is slashed 48% in 30 days
Nike's analyst consensus has deteriorated sharply: hold ratings rose from 13 to 19 in one month while bullish ratings fell from 24 to 18, the lowest in at least three months. Current-quarter EPS consensus dropped from $0.22 thirty days ago to $0.11 today — a 48% cut — with 14 downward revisions in the last 7 days alone. The stock closed at $45.44, within 8% of its 52-week low of $42.09, even as insider buying by Tim Cook (25,000 shares at $42.43) and CEO Elliott Hill (~$2.3M combined) provided a rare counter-signal.
