Jefferies cut estimates and its price target on Nike (NYSE: NKE) from $130 to $115 ahead of fourth quarter results on Thursday. The firm is maintaining its Buy rating.

The firm comments, "We think a toppy sales environment, China angst and FX headwinds make NKE vulnerable ahead of Thursday's F4Q report. The stock has corrected some but still has near-term risk, in our opinion, as investors demonstrate a greater sensitivity to negative news than positive in this environment. Would use near-term weakness to accumulate given strong product innovation, geographic distribution opportunities and best-in-class business model."

Q4 EPS was cut from $1.45 to $1.37, FY12 EPS was cut from $5.00 to $4.91 and FY13 from $6.05 to $5.78.
