Nike 2 January 2026 - 6 July 2026

NIKE, Inc. heads into Monday with shares that look better than the company’s income statement. NIKE closed Thursday at $44.09, gaining 2.39% for the day and now up 8.2% since the June 26 close. U.S. markets were closed Friday for Independence Day, and the market cap was about $65.3 billion.

NIKE, Inc. traded higher before the bell Thursday, adding to gains after Wednesday’s rebound ran with heavy volume. Investors shrugged off weak China numbers and bet on early signs of a turnaround. NIKE saw 80.2 million shares trade Wednesday, about triple its 65-day average. The S&P 500 slipped 0.22% and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.66% that day, so the action in Nike stood out.
