Nike (NKE, $144.04) crushes fiscal Q2 earnings expectations, on digital sales surge

Shares of sneaker giant Nike Inc. climbed to an all-time high Monday, following the release of its  stronger-than-expected quarterly earnings.

Thanks to strength in online sales, Nike’s earnings for the 3 months ending November came in at.78 cents(up from 70 cents a share a year earlier), beating the 62 cents expected by analysts polled by Refinitiv.

Revenue grew +9% year-over-year to $11.24 billion, also topping analysts’ forecast of $10.56 billion.

The company’s  online sales for its namesake brand surged +84% during the quarter, as more people frequented  its website during the coronavirus pandemic. According to the company, digital sales growth helped to offset declines in its own brick-and-mortar stores and at its wholesale partners .

 Nike was allocating investments toward its own stores, websites, and key wholesale partners, and therefore reducing dependence on retail partner – even before the pandemic struck.
