Nike’s Brand Wins vs Stock Slide | Durham News

Nike’s stock is crashing, shedding nearly $220 billion since its 2021 peak and now heading toward a 12-year low—forcing it out of the S&P 500 after 18 years. Yet, the brand just landed a massive $200 million, 10-year deal to stay the official apparel partner of the University of Miami, beating Adidas and proving its enduring sports clout. While this win highlights Nike’s staying power, its direct-to-consumer push has alienated shoppers and emboldened rivals, especially in China, where it’s cutting ties with over 1,000 third-party sellers. Analysts are split: some downgrade the stock, citing steep turnaround costs, while others still rate it a buy. With a new CFO stepping in, Nike faces the challenge of aligning its soaring brand value with its plummeting market valuation.
