Key Metrics
Top Statement Risk
Persistent revenue decline and margin compression
Metrics are mathematically derived from official filings.
Margin Rebound Masks Underlying Strain
NIKE's gross margin rebounded to 49.2% in 2026Q4 from 40.2% in 2026Q3, per reported financials, yet operating margin at 12.0% remains below the 12.3% seen in 2024Q4, suggesting limited earnings power.
The sharp gross margin recovery appears to be a one-time event, as revenue continues to decline and SG&A remains sticky near $4.0B. Net margin of 9.7% in 2026Q4 is still below the 11.9% reported in 2024Q4, indicating that cost control has not fully offset top-line weakness. Investors should monitor whether the margin rebound is sustainable or if it reflects inventory clearance or other non-recurring benefits.
Return on Capital Decays Sharply
ROIC fell to 5.3% in 2026Q4 from 6.8% in 2024Q4, while ROE dropped to 7.4% from 10.5% over the same period, according to reported figures, indicating deteriorating capital efficiency.
The decline in ROIC is driven by both lower margins and reduced asset turnover, as revenue contraction outpaces any balance sheet adjustments. ROE's fall is more pronounced, reflecting the impact of elevated equity levels relative to earnings. This suggests that NIKE is not compounding returns on invested capital at historical rates, and the trend warrants close attention.
Working Capital Cycle Lengthens
NIKE's cash conversion cycle extended to 117 days in 2026Q4 from 99 days in 2024Q4, per balance sheet data, driven by higher DIO of 124 days and DSO of 47 days, indicating slower inventory turnover.
The increase in days inventory outstanding suggests that NIKE is holding more inventory relative to sales, which could signal demand softness or supply chain inefficiencies. DSO also rose from 33 to 47 days, implying slower collections from wholesale partners. These trends are consuming cash and may pressure liquidity if revenue continues to decline.
Debt Service Comfortable but Leverage Elevated
NIKE's D/EBITDA improved to 7.80x in 2026Q4 from 21.27x in 2025Q4, per reported figures, yet interest coverage at 12.52x remains below the 25.31x seen in 2024Q4, indicating reduced cushion.
The improvement in D/EBITDA is largely due to a rebound in EBITDA from a depressed level, not a reduction in absolute debt. Interest coverage, while still adequate, has weakened, and the company's operating cash flow volatility could make debt service less comfortable if earnings deteriorate further. The D/E ratio of 0.74 is manageable, but the trend in coverage warrants monitoring.
Liquidity Buffer Thins as Cash Flow Weakens
NIKE's current ratio declined to 1.96 in 2026Q4 from 2.40 in 2024Q4, while quick ratio fell to 1.36 from 1.69, per balance sheet data, indicating a reduced but still adequate liquidity cushion.
The decline in liquidity ratios is consistent with the deterioration in operating cash flow, which fell to 0.31x net income in 2026Q1. Inventory levels remain high, and if the company needs to discount to clear stock, margins could compress further, straining liquidity. However, with $7.6B in cash, NIKE appears able to meet near-term obligations.
P/E Misleads on Earnings Power
NIKE's trailing P/E of 20.05 appears reasonable, but forward P/E of 28.08 implies expected earnings growth that may not materialize given persistent revenue declines, per valuation data.
The wide gap between trailing and forward P/E suggests the market is pricing in a significant earnings recovery, yet revenue has contracted for five consecutive quarters. Using P/E alone obscures the cyclicality of NIKE's earnings and the impact of one-time items like tax anomalies and stock-based compensation. A more appropriate metric may be EV/EBITDA, which at 16.64x still appears rich relative to the company's growth prospects, or a normalized earnings power that adjusts for margin volatility.
