Nike, Inc. (NKE) is set to announce fourth quarter fiscal 2016 earnings results after the closing bell Tuesday. Analysts expect the footwear giant to report earnings per share of $0.48, down from $0.49 a year ago, and revenue of $8.28 billion. That would be $0.07 lower the $0.55 per share posted last quarter, and $280 million higher the $8 billion revenue posted in the same period.
For full fiscal year 2016, ending in May, EPS are projected to rise 16% on a yoy-basis to $2.15, while full year revenue is expected at $32.4 billion. That would mark a 6% rise from the year-ago period.
Separately, WSJ’s Miriam Gottfried remains cautious on shares ahead of tomorrow’s earnings, writing “the coming Summer Olympic Games likely won’t be the positive catalyst investors might expect for Nike’s stock.” The 2016 summer Olympic games in Rio kick off in August.
