Did NKE Beat Earnings? Q1 2027 Results

Yes. Nike reported Q1 2027 earnings of $0.48 a share on Oct 1, 2026, beating the $0.44 consensus estimate by 8.8%. Revenue was $11.2B against a $11.3B estimate.

Nike posted a mixed fiscal first quarter of 2027, delivering stronger-than-expected earnings even as revenue continued its downward trajectory, with shares already trading near 52-week lows heading into the print. GAAP diluted EPS of $0.48 cleared the $0.44 consensus estimate by 8.82%, supported by a 60-basis-point expansion in gross margin to 42.8% driven by lower warehousing and logistics costs, along with disciplined cost controls that trimmed selling and administrative expenses 3% to $3.91 billion. Revenue, however, slipped 4.3% year over year to $11.21 billion, coming in just under the $11.32 billion consensus, with Greater China standing out as a particular pressure point after plunging 22% to $1.18 billion. North America was the lone geographic bright spot, growing 2% to $5.13 billion. Looking ahead, Nike guided for fiscal 2027 revenues to decline high-single digits and introduced its "Pace" restructuring initiative, which targets approximately $2.50 billion in cumulative savings through fiscal 2031 at a cost of roughly $1.00 billion in pre-tax charges over the same period.

Key Takeaways
  • Sport Offense driving momentum across priority sports in performance business
  • Gross margin expansion of 60 bps driven by lower warehousing and logistics costs
  • Operating overhead expense down 6% due to lower wage-related and administrative costs
  • North America wholesale grew 9% on reported basis
  • Greater China revenue declined 22% (26% currency-neutral), dragging overall results
  • Converse revenue declined 28% across all territories
  • NIKE Brand Digital declined 13%

“The Sport Offense is driving measurable progress across our performance business, and we introduced Pace to help us accelerate and scale that momentum across NIKE.”

Nike CEO, on the earnings call

What Is Nike's Outlook?

NIKE expects fiscal 2027 revenues to decline high-single digits. The effective tax rate is expected to be in the mid-20 percent range. Adjusted diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $1.15 to $1.35, excluding approximately $0.15 of restructuring expenses related to the Pace program. The Pace operating model transformation is expected to deliver approximately $2.5 billion in cumulative savings through fiscal 2031, with approximately $1.0 billion in pre-tax charges (primarily employee-related) through fiscal 2031, and approximately $0.3 billion to be recognized in fiscal 2027.
