- Nike shares plummeted 10% after the company issued a weak revenue outlook and announced layoffs underway, with the stock hitting its lowest level in 13 years per OregonLive.com
- Nike's warning dragged down shares of athletic apparel competitors including Lululemon, On, Under Armour, and Deckers Outdoor (maker of Hoku sandals), as reported by Yahoo Finance
- Nike announced a new restructuring alongside the layoff plans, as noted by OregonLive.com
Why it matters: Nike is widely treated as a bellwether for the athletic apparel and footwear sector, so a 10% single-day drop paired with a 13-year stock low is being read by the market as a demand signal for the whole category — confirmed by simultaneous selling in Lululemon, On, Under Armour, and Deckers, not just Nike itself.
