Did NKE Beat Earnings? Q2 2025 Results
Yes. Nike reported Q2 2025 earnings of $0.78 a share on Dec 19, 2024, beating the $0.63 consensus estimate by 23.3%. Revenue was $12.4B against a $12.1B estimate.
Nike delivered a headline beat in fiscal Q2 2025, but the underlying results told a more complicated story for a brand in the early stages of a difficult turnaround. GAAP diluted EPS of $0.78 came in 23.30% ahead of the $0.63 consensus estimate, while revenue of $12.35 billion edged past expectations by 2.01%, though total sales still fell 7.7% year-over-year as weakness spread across every geography and channel. The steepest drag came from NIKE Direct, which tumbled 13% to $5.00 billion, led by a 21% collapse in digital sales, underscoring how aggressively the company has had to pull back on its direct-to-consumer push. Gross margin narrowed 100 basis points to 43.6%, pressured by heavier discounting and an unfavorable channel mix. New CEO Elliott Hill, roughly 60 days into his tenure, signaled an urgent pivot to re-center the brand around sport, though analysts have noted the turnaround is unlikely to be swift, with elevated discounting expected to continue weighing on profitability in the near term.
- Revenue declines across all geographies and channels
- NIKE Brand Digital revenues decreased 21%
- Higher discounts and channel mix changes compressed gross margin by 100 basis points
- Lower product input costs partially offset margin pressure
- Operating overhead expense decreased 5% due to lower wage-related and administrative costs
- Equipment category grew 14% bucking the overall decline trend
“After an energizing 60 days of being back with my NIKE teammates, our clear priority is to return sport to the center of everything we do. We're taking immediate action to reposition our business, so we can get back to driving long-term shareholder value. Our team is ready to go, and I'm confident you will see more moments of NIKE being NIKE again.”
