Nike stock dips even after Jefferies’ “buy aggressively” call — what NKE investors are watching next

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 14:43 EST — Regular session Nike shares dropped 0.6% to $65.52 in Monday afternoon trading, despite Jefferies reaffirming its buy rating and naming the sportswear giant its top large-cap pick for 2026. Analyst Randal Konik said he “would buy shares aggressively” ahead of this week’s ICR consumer conference and maintained a $110 price target. (Barron’s) The call arrives just as investors and analysts gather at the ICR Conference in Orlando, a key January event focused on consumer and retail forecasts. Spanning three days, the conference frequently shapes which stocks fund managers favor—and which they avoid—heading

Nike stock slides after RTFKT NFT unit sale report as RBC trims price target

New York, January 7, 2026, 14:56 EST — Regular session Nike shares fell 2.5% on Wednesday, down $1.65 at $63.70 in afternoon trading after earlier touching $65.58.

Nike has sold its digital products subsidiary RTFKT, about a year after shutting the business, Bloomberg reported, citing a Nike spokesperson. “RTFKT transitioned to a new owner on

Nike stock rises 2% as UBS survey shows brand strength improving; investors eye March earnings

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 20:44 (EST) — Market closed Nike, Inc. shares rose nearly 2% on Monday after UBS said its latest global sportswear survey showed the brand’s standing improving year on year, even as the bank warned the company’s turnaround may take longer than investors want. Investing.com The move matters because Nike has been trying to rebuild momentum following a bruising post-earnings selloff in mid-December, when investors focused on shrinking profitability and weak demand in China. Survey-based reads can shape near-term positioning when there is no fresh company update and the next results are still weeks away. Reuters+1

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 13:28 EST — Regular session Nike, Inc.

Nike stock today: NKE slips after hours as 2026 trading starts — what to watch next

The stock traded between $62.58 and $64.18 in the session, with about 22.3 million shares changing hands.

Nike stock (NKE) climbs after CEO Elliott Hill buys $1 million in shares

Nike stock (NKE) climbs after CEO Elliott Hill buys $1 million in shares

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 19:55 ET — Market closed Nike shares ended the last U.S. trading session up 4.2% at $63.71, after a regulatory filing showed Chief Executive Elliott Hill bought about $1 million worth of stock. Insider buying — when executives use personal funds to buy shares — often draws attention because it can signal confidence at a moment when investors are debating whether a turnaround is taking hold. That matters now for Nike because the stock has been under pressure and year-end trading can exaggerate moves, with investors repositioning for the start of the new year. A

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:58 ET Nike shares rose 4% in the final session of 2025 after CEO Elliott Hill disclosed he bought about $1 million worth of stock, offering investors a fresh signal of confidence as the sportswear maker heads into 2026 under scrutiny for a turnaround. Reuters The timing matters. Nike enters the new year with investors looking for evidence that its reset can revive demand without further squeezing profitability, especially as costs and promotions remain a drag. Analysts’ 2026 outlooks also diverge. Bulls point to the scope for a rebound if Nike stabilizes margins and inventory, while

Nike stock steadies in premarket after CEO Elliott Hill discloses $1 million share buy

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 04:30 ET — Premarket Nike shares were little changed in premarket trading on Wednesday after a regulatory filing showed Chief Executive Elliott Hill bought about $1 million of the sportswear maker’s stock. The shares were last down fractionally at $61.19. The insider buying matters because investors often read open-market purchases by executives as a sign of confidence, especially when a company is trying to stabilize results. For Nike, that confidence test is playing out against a backdrop of margin pressure and uneven demand across regions. It also lands on a thinly traded part of the
