Nike reports Q1 miss, China slump and announces restructuring plan

Nike posted first‑quarter net income of $712 million and revenue of $11.21 billion, both down year over year. Revenue fell 4% overall and 26% in China, prompting the company to unveil a supply‑chain restructuring called “Pace.” The earnings release triggered an 8.7% drop in after‑hours trading and a forecast of a high‑single‑digit revenue decline for fiscal 2027.

The after‑hours share decline of 8.7% reflects investor reaction to the weaker results and a revenue outlook that is steeper than market expectations, according to the earnings release. Nike also said the restructuring should generate about $2.5 billion of cost savings by fiscal 2031, which could improve margins over the longer term.
