Nike slides 3% to a new 52-week low as Greater China weakness outweighs wholesale rebound
Nike fell ~3% to a new 52-week low as persistent Greater China weakness and shrinking direct/digital sales outweigh a wholesale restock rebound. Reported margin improvement is questioned due to a large tariff-recovery benefit, raising concern about underlying profitability and dividend coverage optics. Peer athletic-apparel names also weakened, reinforcing a sector rerating, but the broader retail ETF is comparatively resilient, pointing to Nike- and category-specific pressure.
