  • Nike Stock Down Over 70%: Value or Value Trap?
    April 30, 2026, 12:44 PM EDT. Nike's share price has plunged more than 70% since its 2021 peak, sparking debate over whether it presents a buying opportunity. The decline stems from strategic missteps, including an aggressive direct-to-consumer push that led to excess inventory and discounting, hurting margins and brand strength. Growth has slowed, particularly in China, causing a 10% drop in fiscal 2025 revenue.
