As Nike (NKE) Craters to New Lows, Insiders Are Buying This Rival On The Dip
Nike (NKE) shares hit 12-year lows, trading at a 46% premium to sector P/E. Rival On Holding (ONON) insiders bought 65,000 shares each after Q2 revenue missed estimates and guidance was cut. ONON's revenue grew 22% YoY, with improved margins, but wholesale growth slowed. Management cited strategic inventory decisions. ONON's forward P/E is 70% below its 5-year average, and its PEG ratio is below sector median.
