Nike Shares Plunge Following Disappointing Quarterly Results

Widespread Declines Across Business Segments

The athletic apparel giant delivered a stunning blow to investors with quarterly figures that fell dramatically short of expectations. As the company navigates a significant leadership transition, both revenue and profit experienced double-digit declines, raising questions about whether incoming management can steer the business toward recovery.

Nike’s first quarter performance for fiscal year 2025 revealed substantial deterioration across its operations. Total revenue dropped 10% to $11.6 billion, while the bottom line showed even greater strain with net income collapsing 28% to $1.1 billion. Earnings per share contracted from $0.94 to $0.70, representing a 26% decrease that affected all geographic markets and distribution channels.
