Nike (US6541061031) stock opened at $40.73, with a $60.42 billion market cap and a 12-month range of $40.00 to $80.17 as of August 16, 2026. Analysts keep a consensus Hold view at a $53.53 target, while the latest quarter showed $10.97 billion in revenue and $0.20 in EPS.
Quarterly numbers still matter
The most recent earnings report, issued on June 30, 2026, showed revenue down 1.1% year over year even after the company topped the $10.85 billion consensus estimate. EPS also beat by $0.09, rising from $0.14 in the same quarter a year earlier to $0.20.
That split between revenue pressure and an earnings beat helps explain why the stock is still being valued cautiously. The quarter also carried a 6.70% net margin and a 16.54% return on equity, while sell-side models in the same coverage set point to 1.74 EPS for the current fiscal year.
Analysts stay guarded
MarketBeat's latest snapshot shows 39 analysts in coverage, with 18 Hold ratings, 13 Buy ratings, five Sell ratings and one Strong Buy. The same snapshot also lists several lower targets, including $52 from Barclays and $46 from Evercore, against a low target of $23 and a high target of $94.
The spread matters. At $40.73, the shares sit below the $53.53 average target and only slightly above the 12-month low of $40.00, which leaves the valuation debate tied closely to how quickly revenue growth can stabilize.
What Nike sells
Nike's product mix still centers on running, basketball, soccer, training, apparel and footwear sold through wholesale, stores and direct-to-consumer channels. The current lineup also includes the Nike Mind 001 AMP, listed at $150, showing that the brand still uses premium launches to support its product cycle.
