- Nike posted another dreadful quarter and outlook, with Wall Street analysts reacting to the disappointing results
- Nike's Q1 2027 results featured planned job cuts, a subdued revenue outlook, and weak China sales, dragging down shares of rivals Lululemon, On, Under Armour, and Deckers Outdoor (maker of Hoku)
