Today (Here’s 3 things you need to know)  

1. Nike earnings preview

1 Year Performance (NKE): -36.17%

Nike Inc. (NYSE: NKE) is projected to deliver a slight earnings beat for fiscal Q2 2025, with EPS estimated at $0.67, just above the Street's $0.65 forecast, driven by cost controls.

However, revenue is expected to remain under pressure, as the company grapples with weaker demand in China, declining North American sales, and challenges in its direct-to-consumer transactions.

Analysts at Morgan Stanley have lowered their price target to $80 from $82, citing risks to earnings and a slower recovery trajectory.

Nike continues to face inventory challenges and promotional pressures, resulting in a 10% year-over-year decline in sales forecasts compared to the Street’s 9% estimate.

Under the new leadership of CEO Elliott Hill, the company is expected to provide cautious guidance, with limited visibility into strategic shifts.

While the stock’s valuation has stabilized on optimism around Hill’s potential strategies, analysts remain cautious, highlighting the need to address inventory management, sales rejuvenation, and profit margin improvement to achieve long-term growth.

2. Fedex earnings preview

1 Year Performance (FDX): +1.42%

FedEx (FDX) is set to report its fiscal Q2 earnings post-market on Thursday. The stock has risen 12% year-to-date, reflecting solid investor confidence despite mixed analyst outlooks. Seeking Alpha's Quant Rating suggests a Hold, contrasting with Wall Street’s Buy recommendation.

While Bernstein Societe Generale downgraded FedEx to Market Perform with a price target cut to $316 from $337, citing execution risks and uncertainties around its LTL freight spin-off.

He highlights the DRIVE program, which targets $4 billion in annual savings by 2025, with $2.2 billion expected this fiscal year, and FedEx’s lower leverage ratio compared to UPS, as strong indicators of long-term potential.

Analysts forecast EPS of $3.95 and revenue of $22.12B, noting that while FedEx has beaten EPS estimates in 6 of the last 8 quarters, it has missed revenue targets in 7 of those.

3. Micron earnings preview

1 Year Performance (MU): +24.71%

Micron Technology (MU) is poised to report its FQ1 earnings after the market closes on Wednesday, with analysts projecting an 84% year-over-year revenue surge, fueled by strong demand for memory chips in AI applications.

Sell-side analysts maintain a Strong Buy rating for Micron.

Highlights are Micron’s AI-driven growth, attractive valuation, and earnings potential, predicting significant stock gains into 2025 with minimal downside risks.

Earnings Forecasts: Analysts expect EPS of $1.77 and revenue of $8.71B. Micron has outperformed expectations in 6 of the past 8 quarters, maintaining optimism despite differing analyst perspectives.
