Jefferies Maintains Bullish View on Nike (NKE) After Q3, Better Sales Trump Another GM Miss

Jefferies reiterated their Buy rating and $130 price target on Nike (NYSE: NKE) after Q3 results, saying better sales trump another gross margin miss.

The firm comments, "Sales momentum remains robust with North America leading the charge. Futures growth of 18% and tight expense control should be enough to offset another GM% miss. There is a silver lining to a lagging GM% recovery story in that it gives investors something to look forward to beyond the current acceleration in futures orders (which will inevitably decelerate)."
