Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Nike stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "NIKE’s robust growth and innovation efforts have been reflected in every quarter’s results for over three fiscal years now. The company’s last reported quarter gained from strength in international business and the global NIKE Direct business. Also, NIKE has been focused on its Consumer Direct Offense plan. Driven by its Triple Double strategy, this restructuring plan focuses on using digital methods for rapid innovation and product development, along with strengthening consumer relations by operating through core regions. However, the company has lagged the industry in the past three months due to lackluster sales in its key North American market. Notably, sales in the region dipped 3% in first-quarter fiscal 2018, wherein the gross margin was hurt by currency woes and a higher mix of off-price sales. The company anticipates near-term results to be hurt by the tough retail environment, which led to a bleak second quarter view." (10/13/2017)
• 2. Buckingham Research analysts commented, "become too myopically focused on near-term noise," (9/28/2017)
• 3. FBR & Co analysts commented, "NIKE reported F1Q18 EPS of $0.57 vs. FBR/consensus of $0.50/$0.48, reflecting SGA leverage of +48 BPS (vs. FBR/consensus of -0.50%/-0.99% and SGA expense guidance of +MSD), partially offset by GM decline of -180 bps (vs. FBR/consensus of –200 bps/–182 bps and guidance of –150 bps to –180 bps). Revenues were in line with flat guidance vs. FBR/consensus of +0.8%/+0.3%, driven by strong growth in international markets and Nike Direct offset by a decline in NA wholesale revenue. Management guided F2Q18 sales to +LSD (vs. FBR/consensus of +3.1%/+3.6%) and expects GM contraction for F2Q18 to be in line with F1Q18 (-180 bps vs. FBR/ consensus of –60 bps/–93 bps), while SGA is expected to grow +LDD (vs. FBR/ consensus of -40 bps/-18 bps). NKE experienced strong consumer responses to key products including Pegasus 34, Vaporfly, and Zoom Fly sneakers, and the Air VaporMax, which holds the number one premium sneaker market share in the US."

• 4. UBS AG analysts commented, "The Swoosh garden atop the Nike headquarters in NYC." (6/27/2017)
• 5. Deutsche Bank AG analysts commented, "Nike's earnings print sounded alarm bells through (1) forecasting weaker than expected 4Q revenues, (2) missing 3Q GPM plan and guiding 4Q lower due to a promotional NA environment, (3) not giving specific FY18 guidance, which was expected (other than to cite major FX headwinds), and (4) futures slowing for the 5th consecutive quarter to -1% (on CC) from 2% last period. While the last point has less significance than in prior years, the preceding items net to a lowering of our FY18 EPS forecast by 3% and will restart the debate on the appropriate valuation. We stay the course with a LT favorable view and Buy rating as NKE remains a traffic driving consumer brand with pricing power (far from a commodity in retail) and the company's new 'Triple-Double' plan to double the (a) cadence and scale of product innovation, (b) speed of the supply chain, and (c) direct connections with the consumer, which should lead to an acceleration in top & bottom line in FY18 and beyond, in our view."
