UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Nike (NYSE: NKE) price target of $106.00 (from $99.00).
Analyst, Michael Binetti, said, "We believe emerging positive NT catalysts for Nike (accelerating ASP increases, apparel share gains, improving GM outlook) will outweigh our primary risk concern (potential for China futures to decelerate further in F1Q). Since reporting F4Q (06/28), Street F14 estimates have declined -11%. And, NKE’s stock has lagged peers & S&P by ~20pp since 06/01. We believe positive catalysts will push Street estimates higher in Near-Term, creating a favorable stock backdrop."
Bottomline: U.S. trends are accelerating, but there is risk to the growth story in China.
