This week the wider U.S. equity market again showed resilience, with the Standard & Poor's 500 index edging higher while the Nasdaq also posted small gains. A recent market overview discussed performance of major U.S. indices

Against this backdrop Nike’s move has been directionally consistent but less pronounced than some high-growth names, reflecting its status as a mature consumer brand rather than a momentum tech stock.

How Nike makes its money

Nike generates the bulk of its revenue from branded athletic footwear, apparel and equipment, led by franchises such as the Nike Air and Air Jordan lines, sold through its own retail and digital channels as well as wholesale partners worldwide.
