AI Analysis

I start with the filed numbers. In fiscal 2026, the year ended 2026-05-31, Nike earned $3.1B on revenue of $46.4B and diluted EPS of $2.10. That is down from fiscal 2024, when revenue was $51.4B, net income $5.7B and EPS $3.73; fiscal 2025 was $46.3B revenue, $3.2B net income and EPS $2.16. So the top line has stalled and profit has shrunk. The latest filed quarter, fiscal Q1 2027 ended 2026-08-31, showed revenue $11.2B, net income $712M and EPS $0.48, versus fiscal Q1 2026 ended 2025-08-31 with revenue $11.7B, net income $727M and EPS $0.49—still slightly weaker. Nike's brands, including Nike, Jordan and Converse, and its global distribution are real intangible assets, but the numbers show the moat is being tested. Financial health is mixed: FairStock calculations show ROE 22.14%, ROCE 6.97%, D/E 0.74, Altman Z-Score 2.11 and Piotroski F-Score 6/9. Trailing free cash flow is $2.2B, a 4.2% FCF yield, while the dividend yield is 4.62%, so cash generation matters. At the 2026-10-13 close of $35.33, FairStock calculates P/E 16.82, P/B 3.53 and a Graham Number of $21.76, meaning the price is 62.36% above that conservative value. The FairStock score is 58/100, and the Lynch category is SLOW GROWER — Shrinking: profit -11.5% a year over five years and revenue 0.8%. This is not a Graham bargain; it is a brand franchise that must prove revenue and margins can recover.

In plain English: Nike sells athletic shoes, clothing and gear under Nike, Jordan and Converse around the world. The brand is still strong and the company remains profitable, but sales and profits have fallen from their peak a couple of years ago and it carries meaningful debt. At $35.33 on 2026-10-13, the shares look reasonably priced against current earnings but not cheap against a conservative estimate of their underlying value.
