Nike: Just Buy It

SWOOSH! It appears to be a breakaway moment for the athletic show and apparel titan Nike (ticker: NKE), with its shares vaulting higher by $4.40, or 7.3%, to $64.49 after the company last night announced better-than-expected fiscal first-quarter profits. Nike missed revenue expectations but projects that growth will return based on orders for shoes delivered months later. Having slightly underperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 index much of this year (prior to today, Nike was up 45% since the equity trough in late March compared to the S&P's 50%-plus climb), the stock has room to run now that sales appear to be on the mend. Granted, profit was propped up last quarter by a decline in overhead costs that's still drawing upon Nike's laying off 5% of staff -- or "teammates," as the company dubs them -- earlier in the year. Of more concern, the company's "demand creation" -- spending on the brand -- plunged 28%. Even though that's a comparison to the Olympics spending of last year, one wonders about a company like this taking money off the table when it comes to touting its image. Nevertheless, multiple expansion and a higher stock price seem likely as Nike heads to soccer's World Cup in South Africa next year. Fiscal first-quarter sales, for the month ended August, fell 12%, year over year, to $4.8 billion, a bigger decline than the 7% fall in the June quarter. Tha...
