NIKE, Inc.

Delivered a dramatic earnings beat in fiscal Q1 2027, posting diluted EPS of $0.72 against a consensus estimate of $0.13, a 465.59% beat that extended the company's streak of beating consensus EPS estimates to seven consecutive quarters. The outsized profit figure was driven primarily by a $986 million one-time benefit tied to the expected recovery of IEEPA tariffs, following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that those import levies were unauthorized, a windfall that added $0.52 to diluted EPS and lifted gross margin approximately 900 basis points to 49.2%. Revenue came in at $10.97 billion, edging past the $10.85 billion consensus by 1.09%, though the top line still slipped 1.1% year over year, underscoring the ongoing sales headwinds CEO Elliott Hill acknowledged as the company works through its marketplace repositioning. Wholesale revenues grew 4% to $6.60 billion, providing some offset to a 7% decline in NIKE Direct, while pre-earnings technical weakness in the stock had analysts watching closely for signs of a genuine operational turnaround beneath the tariff-driven profit boost.
Key Takeaways
- • Expected recovery of $986 million in IEEPA tariffs boosted gross margin by approximately 900 basis points
- • Wholesale revenues grew 4% on a reported basis driven by North America growth
- • NIKE Direct revenues declined 7% with NIKE Brand Digital down 12% and NIKE-owned stores down 7%
- • North America was the sole geographic growth driver, up 3%
- • Greater China revenues declined 12% on reported basis and 17% currency-neutral
- • Converse revenues declined 32% across all territories
- • Selling and administrative expense decreased 2% reflecting lower demand creation spending
- • Effective tax rate dropped to 19.6% from 33.6% due to stock-based compensation effects and prior year one-time items
