Nike reports Q1 earnings miss and forecasts high‑single‑digit revenue decline for fiscal 2027

Nike posted first‑quarter revenue of $11.21 billion, missing consensus estimates of $11.33 billion, and earnings per share of $0.48, down from $0.49 a year earlier. The company said fiscal 2027 revenue will fall in the high‑single‑digit range and guided adjusted earnings of $1.15‑$1.35 per share. CEO Elliott Hill and CFO Dave Denton highlighted cost‑saving plans and a new operating model called Pace.

The revenue miss and weaker outlook pushed Nike shares down 4‑6% in after‑hours trading, reducing the market value of the stock. The guidance signals lower top‑line growth for the next fiscal year, which may affect analysts' earnings forecasts and investors' valuation models.
