Nike stock rallies after another earnings beat

Shares of Nike Inc. rallied after hours on Tuesday after the athletic-gear giant reported third-quarter results that topped expectations.

The maker of sneakers and sports apparel reported third-quarter net income of $1.24 billion, or 79 cents a share, compared with $1.4 billion, or 87 cents a share, in the same quarter a year ago. Revenue increased 14% to $12.39 billion, compared with $10.87 billion in the prior-year quarter.Nike’s NKE gross margin fell 330 basis points to 43.4%. Inventories stood at $8.9 billion, up 16%, amid “higher product input costs and elevated freight costs.

Nike reported earnings after it cut prices in an effort to clear clothing and other items from its warehouses, following supply-chain hiccups that led to an excess of off-season goods and rising prices for basics. Those higher prices made customers less interested in dropping money on a new pair of sneakers.

Looks like Nike is really keeping up with the Joneses!

Then why is it dumping? I don’t get it
