Could Nike Stock Plummet to $23? Analyzing Bear, Base, and Bull Scenarios
Yahoo Finance ·
Iconic sportswear giant Nike is navigating a protracted turnaround effort that, despite early signs of wholesale recovery, continues to face headwinds in Greater China and the Converse brand. Wall Street sentiment remains cautious; according to CNN data, among 41 analysts covering the equity, 32% advocate a buy, 61% suggest a hold, and 7% recommend a sell. Notably, the most pessimistic 12-month target stands at $23 per share. Measured against the September 11 closing price of $36.80, this implies an additional potential downside of 37.5%. Key catalysts for such a bearish trajectory include persistent regional weaknesses. During fiscal 2026, Greater China revenue slumped 11% year-over-year to $5.8 billion, while Converse sales plummeted 31% to $1.2 billion, exacerbating operational hurdles for the sneaker manufacturer.
AI 시장 분석
Concerns over Nike's stock decline are growing due to delayed turnaround efforts and sharp drops in sales within Greater China and the Converse brand. Particularly, Greater China sales fell 11% to $580 million, and Converse sales plunged 31% to $1.2 billion, dampening investor sentiment. Amid cautious evaluations by analysts, the possibility of a drop to a low target price of $23 has also been raised.

DYAX 전담 분석
While Nike is showing signs of recovery in wholesale revenue, sluggishness in its core market of China and its subsidiary Converse is holding back earnings growth. Among 41 analysts, 61% maintain a hold rating, closely monitoring the future turnaround speed.
In the bullish scenario, restructuring effects and a rebound in wholesale channels could accelerate, leading to expected stock recovery. However, in the bearish scenario, prolonged demand contraction in Greater China poses a risk of falling to the lowest target price of $23. Key monitoring points ahead are quarterly regional sales growth rates and inventory levels.
