Powell Says Feels Good About Where The Economy Is, Expects Another Good Year Next Year

<p><strong>Nike Inc </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) will likely provide more color on what the future looks like under new CEO <strong>Elliot Hill </strong>when the apparel and footwear company reports second-quarter financial results after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">the market closes on Thursday.</a></p>
<p><strong>Earnings Estimates</strong>: Analysts expect Nike to report second-quarter financial revenue of $12.13 billion. That&#8217;s down from $13.39 billion in last year's second quarter, according to data <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent121824&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">from Benzinga Pro.</a></p>
<p>The company has missed analyst revenue estimates in two straight quarters and four of the last five quarters. Over the last 10 quarters, Nike beat analyst revenue estimates six times.</p>
<p>Analysts expect the company to report second-quarter earnings per share of 64 cents. That&#8217;s down from $1.03 per share in last year's second quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in five straight quarters and nine of the last 10 quarters.</p>

<p><strong>What Analysts Are Saying: </strong>Traffic and promotion trackers could signal a mixed second quarter from Nike, according to Goldman Sachs analyst Brooke Roach, who has a Buy rating and $97 price target.</p>
<p>Promotionality remains a key item to watch in the report,  Roach said in a new investor note.</p>
<p>"On balance, our conversations with investors have been more muted on the stock in recent weeks, and our trackers largely demonstrate missed trends in F2Q," Roach said.</p>
<p>Commentary from retail partners suggests higher promotional activity during the holiday season and higher inventory levels, Roach said.</p>
<p>"We believe that recent data points suggest that it is still early in Nike's turnaround journey, and that we have yet to see signs of material brand heat improvement."</p>
<p>The focus in Wednesday's report will likely center on the future path to stronger innovation and top-line growth, Roach added.</p>
<p>Roach said they were looking forward to hearing from Hill in his fist official quarter. The 30-year Nike vet rejoined the company and became CEO on Oct. 14.</p>
<p>"We believe Mr. Hill will provide initial commentary around the forward strategy of the company including any material changes to his approach."</p>
<p>Telsey analyst Cristina Fernandez also shared a desire to hear about Nike's product innovation pipeline and new plans from Hill.</p>
<p>The analyst maintained an Outperform rating on Nike and lowered the price target from $96 to $93.</p>
<p>"Overall, Nike is in a period of transition and a return to growth could take a few quarters," Fernandez said in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42515463/nike-needs-a-turnaround-after-q2-results-are-released-this-week-will-new-ceo-just-do-it">recent investor note</a>.</p>
<p>The analyst said the Nike turnaround could take around a year to show changes play out.</p>
<p>Here are other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NKE/analyst-ratings">analyst ratings on Nike</a> and their price targets:</p>
<ul>
<li>Wells Fargo: Maintained Overweight rating, lowered price target from $95 to $92</li>
<li>Evercore ISI: Maintained Outperform rating, lowered price target from $105 to $97</li>
<li>Deutsche Bank: Maintained Buy rating, lowered price target from $92 to $82</li>
<li>Morgan Stanley: Maintained Equal-Weight rating, lowered price target from $82 to $80</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Key Items to Watch:</strong> All eyes and ears will be on Hill when the company reports results Thursday.</p>
<p>One item to watch could be the company's focus on value or being a premium brand and product.</p>
<p>A recent YouGov 2024 value <a href="https://commercial.yougov.com/rs/464-VHH-988/images/WP-2024-12-US-Value-Rankings-Report.pdf">survey</a> showed that Nike was the biggest gainer in the most improved score as a better deal in 2024 versus 2023 with an 8.5-point gain year-over-year. The survey suggests that consumers see Nike products as more affordable compared to what they were years ago or in comparison to peer brands.</p>
<p>Nike will likely not comment on President-elect <strong>Donald Trump</strong>&#8216;s threat to impose tariffs on China. The company could be asked about this impact by analysts as many other companies have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/24/12/42536470/costco-warns-that-tariffs-raise-prices-trump-team-says-trade-policies-will-make-life-affordable">in recent weeks.</a></p>
<p>Investors might also focus on the geographical breakdown of revenues in the quarter. The<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41129610/nike-q1-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-beat-teams-energized-amid-ceo-transition-a-comeback-at-this-scale"> last quarterly report</a> showed overall revenue down 10% year-over-year with North America being one of the weakest regions at -11% year-over-year. China sales, by comparison, were down 4% year-over-year.</p>
<p><strong>Price Action:</strong> Nike stock is up 0.4% to $78.33 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $70.75 to $123.39. Nike stock is down 26% year-to-date in 2024.</p>

What Analysts Are Saying About MPLX Stock

Powell Says Housing Inflation Has Come Down Steadily,  Goods Inflation Has Returned To Pre-Pandemic Range Overall

<p><em>Editor's Note: The spelling of Michael Saylor&#8217;s name has been corrected in the headline.</em></p>
<p>Financial market commentator <strong>Peter Schiff</strong> on Tuesday criticized <strong>Michael Saylor&#8217;s </strong>comparison of <strong>MicroStrategy Inc.</strong>&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) debt-financed <strong>Bitcoin </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) buying strategy to Manhattan real estate.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened</strong>: In an X post, Schiff disagreed with Saylor&#8217;s analogy. &#8220;Real estate generates rents, which can be used to service and repay debt. Bitcoin doesn&#8217;t generate any income to make interest or principal payments,&#8221; he argued.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><br />
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">It&#39;s wrong for <a href="https://twitter.com/saylor?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@saylor</a> to compare his leveraged buying of <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bitcoin</a> to investors borrowing money to purchase Manhattan real estate. Real estate generates rents, which can be used to service and repay debt. Bitcoin doesn&#39;t generate any income to make interest or principal payments.</p>
<p>&mdash; Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeterSchiff/status/1869116244714262623?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 17, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
<p></p></figure></p>
<p><strong>Spencer Hakimian</strong>, founder of hedge fund <strong>Tolou Capital Management</strong>, countered Schiff&#8217;s viewpoint, stating that, unlike the Manhattan real estate industry, Bitcoin doesn&#8217;t have any expenses or maintenance.</p>
<p>Schiff responded that rents from real estate exceed the expenses.</p>
<p>The city&#8217;s rental market contradicts national trends, with the top 50 markets experiencing 15 consecutive months of rent decreases. In October 2024, New York&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42256888/as-nyc-rents-hit-new-highs-85-of-residents-look-to-buy-elsewhere-heres-what-they-find">median asking rent</a> increased 1.7% year-on-year to $3,374, representing a 13.1% increase from pre-pandemic values. Manhattan&#8217;s median monthly rent stood at $4,750 as of this writing, according to Realtor.com.</p>

<p><strong>Why It Matters</strong>: This criticism comes after Saylor defended MicroStrategy&#8217;s Bitcoin acquisition strategy by equating it to Manhattan&#8217;s real estate industry. He said that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42524546/michael-saylor-counters-critics-who-label-microstrategys-bitcoin-play-ponzi-scheme-calls-it-similar-to-manhattans-real-estate-developers-using-debt-to-build-more-skyscrapers">just like developers in Manhattan issue more debt </a>to develop more real estate when its value goes up, MicroStrategy capitalizes on high returns from Bitcoin to buy more Bitcoin.</p>
<p>Schiff&#8217;s critique adds to the ongoing debate around MicroStrategy&#8217;s Bitcoin strategy. Earlier, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42237876/peter-schiff-predicts-microstrategys-bankruptcy-due-to-bitcoin-investment-strategy">warned that the</a> company's commitment to repay a large sum of money to convertible note holders could be a potential risk if the price of Bitcoin falls sharply.</p>
<p>Well-known cryptocurrency analyst <strong>Willy Woo</strong> also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42228264/crypto-analyst-flags-convertible-debt-induced-liquidation-risk-to-michael-saylors-microstrategy">flagged the risk </a>associated with the firm&#8217;s convertible debt offerings, stating that if buyers do not convert to shares&nbsp;before maturity, MicroStrategy would be forced to sell Bitcoin to repay them.</p>
<p><strong>Price Action</strong>:&nbsp; At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $105,351.94, down 0.86% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. </p>
<p>Shares of MicroStrategy closed 5.41% lower at $ 386.42 during Tuesday&#8217;s regular session. The stock has a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MSTR">consensus price target </a>of $449.5 based on the ratings of 12 analysts, with an average price target of $546.67 between&nbsp;<strong>Bernstein</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>TD Cowen</strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>Barclays</strong>.</p>
