Nike Inc (NYSE:NKE) Started with a Sell Rating at Stock Traders Daily
Stock Traders Daily has initiated shares of Nike Inc (NYSE:NKE) with a sell rating. Ours is a combined analysis of both fundamental and technical criteria, but one that also incorporates our longer term macroeconomic work, The Investment Rate.
Fundamentally, growth rates are likely to decline for NKE going forward, which makes the 30x multiple levied on shares today look rich, which in turn creates general valuation concerns.
These valuation concerns exist even in the face of a stock price that has already fallen some. Still, the declines are causing material adjustments to the positive technicals that had been in place, and those adjustments open the door to additional decline.
When our macroeconomic analysis of the US economy and stock market is factored in, we believe that socks with relatively high valuations, declining growth rates, and deteriorating technicals pose high risks, and investors are better to see than hold.
