👟 Nike Down 80% — Bargain or Value Trap?
Nike ($NKE) has fallen from its 2021 peak of $179 to around $34, wiping out more than $210 billion in market value. Now, Goldman Sachs’ reported purchase of 4.9 million shares has investors asking whether the sell-off has gone too far.
📉 Why consider buying?
✅ A globally recognised brand with strong sports and lifestyle appeal.
✅ Potential upside if management successfully turns the business around.
✅ A lower share price could offer an opportunity if earnings recover.
⚠️ Why be cautious?
❌ Nike expects revenue to decline by a high-single-digit percentage in FY2027.
❌ Competition and weaker demand are putting pressure on sales.
❌ A falling share price doesn’t automatically mean a stock is cheap.
Goldman’s buying is interesting, but institutional purchases don’t guarantee a rebound.
My view: Nike could be a turnaround opportunity, but I’d want to see sales stabilise and profitability improve before getting too confident.
Would you buy Nike at these levels, or wait for clearer signs of recovery?Not financial advice. Do your own research before investing.
