  • Nike shares fall over 9% after forecasting surprise sales drop in Q4
    April 1, 2026, 5:34 AM EDT. Nike shares plunged more than 9% in extended trading Tuesday after the company forecast a surprising drop of up to 4% in fourth-quarter sales. The sportswear giant cited a 10% sales decline in China during the third quarter, with expectations of a 20% fall in the current quarter, attributing weakness to rising oil prices and geopolitical tensions. China, Nike's second-largest market, contributes about 15% of annual sales but has seen market share losses to local rivals Anta and Li Ning. While third-quarter revenue held steady at nearly $11.3 billion, slightly surpassing estimates, challenges remain with clearing older inventory. CEO Elliott Hill is steering the company through a reset involving reduced promotions and a sharpened focus on core franchises like running.
