Why Nike Stock Just Popped
Key Points JPMorgan analyst Matthew Boss just upgraded Nike stock to buy. Nike's capable of growing earnings 20% a year over the next five years, says this banker. That's nearly twice the rate of growth most analysts forecast for Nike. 10 stocks we like better than Nike › Nike (NYSE: NKE) ran up 3% through 10:05 a.m. ET Monday morning after JPMorgan analyst Matthew Boss upgraded the stock to overweight and raised his price target on the shoes and sportswear star to $93 a share. Why JPMorgan likes Nike Citing its own "fieldwork" on the stock, as well as conversations with management and SEC filings, Boss is raising his earnings forecasts for Nike in 2026 and 2027. He's predicting the company will grow earnings in the "high-teens to 20%" over the next five years, reports Management, says the analyst, is seeing "accelerating momentum within global wholesale orderbooks" and is aligning its inventory levels to support sales-growth trends. This should be completed by halfway through 2026. Boss also cited multiple trends that should result in stronger average selling prices in the running, global footwear, basketball, and training markets, leading to potentially a doubling of operating profit margins (to 10%) by 2028. Longer term, Boss sees a path to Nike regaining pre-pandemic profit margins of 12% and even 13%. Is Nike stock a buy? Nike's not a bad business. To the contrary, it's a steady performer, and most analysts predict Nike is capable of growing earnings at least 11% annually over the next five years. The problem is that, at its current valuation of 35 times earnings, 11% growth might not be enough to justify such a high valuation. JPMorgan's analyst holds out the hope, though, that Nike might grow nearly twice as fast as that -- 20%. Problem is, even 20% growth on a 35x-earnings stock works out to a price-to-earnings ratio of 1.75. That's still too high a price to pay for Nike. Even if this analyst is right about Nike's growth prospects, I think the stock is still a sell. Should you invest $1,000 in Nike right now?

Stock futures are little changed as investors analyze earnings, await Fed rate decision: Live updates
Traders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, U.S., July 25, 2025. Jeenah Moon | Reuters S&P 500 futures are near flat Tuesday night, after the benchmark snapped a win streak that brought it to record highs, as investors analyzed earnings reports and awaited the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision. Futures tied to the broad index flickered near flat, as did Nasdaq 100 futures . Dow Jones Industrial Average futures lost 41 points, or 0.1%. Starbucks shares climbed more than 3% after the bell after the coffee chain posted stronger-than-expected revenue for the third fiscal quarter. On the other hand, Visa sank more than 2% despite quarterly results coming in better than what Wall Street expected. Tuesday night's action follows a losing day on the Street, marking the first session of the last seven where the S&P 500 did not close at an all-time high. The S&P 500 slid 0.3% in the session, while the Dow and Nasdaq Composite lost about 0.5% and 0.4%, respectively. Investors are awaiting the Federal Reserve's interest rate announcement Wednesday afternoon. Fed funds futures are pricing in a nearly 98% likelihood of the central bank keeping its key rate at a range of 4.25% to 4.5%, according to CME Group's FedWatch tool. "Despite increased political scrutiny, Fed Chair Jerome Powell continues to signal patience around any interest rate decision," said Jerry Tempelman, vice president of fixed income research at Mutual of America Capital Management. "Financial markets do not anticipate any change in monetary policy from the Federal Reserve until at least September." Following the decision, traders will turn to a press conference with Chair Jerome Powell for insights into the path of monetary policy. This comes as President Donald Trump and allies have tried to pressure Powell to bring the borrowing cost down. Before that, traders will monitor economic data on private payrolls, gross domestic product and pending home sales due in the morning. They'll also follow the continued stream of earnings reports.
