Stock Analysis
• According to Yahoo finance they give Nike a 2.3 on a scale of 1-5, 1 being buy and 5 being sell. This to me says that it is a steady stock, not going to be a big gainer, or a big loser, at least in the analyst opinion. They also predicting modest gains of about .75 this quarter and 2.66 for the year, slightly above last year’s performance of 2.37.

    Although it appears that Nike has some inventory management problems, they are clearly growing their net income year over year. From the company perspective, they are effectively leveraging their assets to yield favorable increases in profit year over year, but from the stockholder’s perspective, they are effective leveraging their equity. This shows that although competition increases in the market, Nike’s brand remains relevant and desired within its primary markets. Nike can leverage their brand recognition, liquid capital, and their room for additional risk to focus on their e-commerce platforms, emerging markets, and women’s product…

    In order to help Under Armour acknowledge its position within the sport apparel and gear industry, I researched and constructed an analysis of the company’s financial performance from 2008 to 2010. Over the last three years, Under Armour posted a strong financial performance. From 2008 to 2010, the company had a significant growth in net income, an increasing trend in earning per share, and a strong quick ratio (Under Armour, 2011). In addition, Under Armour’s stock (UA) has also been performing well in the last twelve months; however, the Price Earnings ratios over the period were unstable due to the rough stock price-line (Stock Information, 2011). Furthermore, the report will compare Under Armour with one of its main competitors, Nike, Inc. (Under Armour, 2011).…

    According to Business Insights, “Nike is reported to have paid $1.5 billion for its five year licensing contract with the NFL; we assume that covers the guarantee they've made to the NFL over the term of the contract, as well as promotional and other rights.’’ This contract that they signed with the NFL is valued so high because the NFL is one of the most watched sports in the United States; “It is probably safe to say that there is no other sports entity like it in the entire world, as hundreds of millions of televisions are tuned into the NFL's championship game - the Super Bowl - every year’’. Due to the NFL’s massive TV ratings, Nike has great exposure of their products. Everyone will see the Nike swoosh on all of their jerseys. Nike also sells its products to sporting goods stores (Ex. Dick’s, Models), department stores, athletic specialty stores, footwear stores, internet websites, Nike-owned retail stores. Nike as a whole is seen as a company that is dedicated to being connected to the biggest and best athletes within each sport. As seen in their financial statements, Nike is a very profitable and appealing company for investors to look into. As a whole, Nike is a very strong and stable company which will provide anyone with tremendous return on…

    “On January 25, 1964 Nike, formerly known as Blue Ribbon Sports was founded by Bill Bowerman and Phillip Knight. It officially became Nike Incorporated on May 30, 1978”(Nike Business). During the late 70s to early 80s Nike’s initial focus was Track and Field but later expanded into various sports such as : soccer, golf, hockey and basketball just to name a few.” In 1980, Nike entered the decade on the success of its Nike Air technology, and at the end of that year Nike completed its initial public offering (IPO) and became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange. The reason for going public was typically viewed as a means of raising addition capital without having to borrow, and also increase the company’s profile by having the public be more aware of their company. Also by that time Nike had acquired 50 % market share in the US sports shoe market, which was more than double its closest competitor Adidas”(Nike Business). Other major competitors in the shoe market included Rebook, Converse and Fila, but in 2003 Nike acquired Converse which earned them a greater share of the market. Nike is now the leading apparel company in the world since its expansion into the clothing market. They have a wide range of target audiences but the main focus is on people who are active and enjoy high quality athletic goods, especially footwear. “Nike also believes in the ‘big ad, big athlete’ philosophy to help market their product, and this had proven to be very successful over the years”(Nike Business). Consumers synthesize the Nike brand name with success because of the athletes who typically endorse the product are very successful.…

    Who would have imagined it? After years on top, Nike suddenly looks like a world-class marathoner who, in midrace, questions whether he's got what it takes to keep on running. Nike's symptoms of distress: a global glut of shoes, flat sales in key markets, and declining profits. Moreover, the global brand champ that captured its own winning corporate mindset with the "Just do it" ad slogan has a new pitch, "I can"--to which investors seem to be retorting, "No, you can't." Losing faith, they have knocked Nike stock from its all-time high of $76 about a year ago to a recent $46.…

    This paper provides a review of Nike, Inc. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business economy. NAICS was developed under the auspices of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and adopted in 1997 to replace the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. The primary NAICS code classification for Nike is 316211 Rubber and Plastic Footwear Manufacturing (http://business.highbeam.com/company-profiles/info/306325/nike-inc; web, December 9, 2010). This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing rubber and plastics footwear with vulcanized rubber or plastics soles, molded or cemented to rubber, plastics, or fabric uppers, and rubber and plastics protective footwear. Upon initial investigation of Nike, the scope of business is far beyond the initial NAICS classification as they also provide sporting goods equipment and athletic apparel. The company profile for Nike attempts to classify the business in a broader sense by including the business in additional sectors of industry, such as:…

    Risk & Return Analysis

    Nike Inc., has a standard deviation of 8.2, almost double that of the markets. While Nike has been a consistently strong company its average rate of return for the past 10 years was .77%. This is significantly stronger that the markets return over the same 10 years. A standard deviation of 8.2 is a pretty strong deviation, and shows people that are willing to invest in the company that they are investing in a strong company that has shown the ability to grow, and create dividends for its stock holders consistently. The beta of .73 shows that Nike’s returns are somewhat similar to that of the markets, but still not enough to be affected by the overall economic situation the market may face. The coefficient variation of 9.37 is not bad, but it does not paint the whole picture when looking at Nike as an individual stock.…

    Nike’s revenues since 1997 had grown from $9 billion, while net income had fallen $220 million. A study written by Douglas Robson printed in Business Week revealed that Nike’s market share in the U.S. athletic shoe industry had fallen from 48 percent to 42 percent since 1997. In addition, supply-chain issues and the effects of a strong dollar negatively affected revenues. In the meeting, management planned to increase revenues by developing athletic-shoe products in ranges varying between $70-$90 and push their apparel line. Nike’s executives expressed that the company would still continue with a long-term revenue growth target of 8-10 percent and earnings-growth target above 15 percent.…
