Risk Management Directives
- Limit risk to 1% of total portfolio equity per trade.
- Prefer entries at or near the $35.22 52-week low with volume confirmation — do not chase a gap after earnings.
- Take partial profits at Target 1 and trail the remainder.
- Move stop to breakeven after Target 1 is reached.
- Earnings on October 1, 2026 is a binary event. Size smaller into the print or wait for the reaction.
- Watch China demand, wholesale vs. DTC mix, inventory, and any guidance reset. Street has been cutting targets into this report.
Strategic Conclusion: NKE is a beaten-down consumer-brand turnaround, not an AI momentum name. At \~$35.84 it is trading near a 13-year-style low after a \~50% decline. Average analyst targets around $46–$47 imply meaningful upside if the October 1 earnings print does not reset the story lower. This is a higher-risk, event-driven swing — size accordingly and treat $33 as a hard invalidation.
