I think $MCD has a better shot of finding a bottom near these levels than $NKE does. People still need to eat. MCD, while not healthy, is still a popular go-to for relatively cheap food (I know its not as cheap as it once was - but its all relative). And MCD still has durable unit growth to point to. Don't think they have brand issues nearly as severe as Nike does. Not advice. Just my 2c.

I don't see an easy turnaround at $nke. Social media has lowered the barriers to entry on athleisure. I get ads all the time from no name upstarts with cool stuff in my Instagram feed. Clearly Nike is losing share in China. Hard to see what turns that around. Most abstract but maybe most important is that the brand no longer resonates as high quality and certainly doesn't seem "cool" at least from what I can tell. 20x on declining EPS. Not sure what turns it.

At current rates and capital being consumed by AI, cant see the appetite from PE to pencil this out, let alone get the financing in place. There are only two other restaurant chains larger by market cap and that is $MCD which would be over 30% over their current market cap. And would be almost 50% of the other, $SBUX. So no, and markets not buying it either

Would you rather: A. $NKE at 13x EV / EBITDA B. $LULU at a 5x EV / EBITDA C. Chinese water torture

@310Value @StockTalk416 It’s also not saying pinned because it’s not definitive. Look at the price action of the comps. Massive $GFL call buying $RSG $WCN

@kiwicarrotcake @valuedrift I own $KOF, $HERDEZ and $ALSEA so not really looking for more of this kind of exposure. But the company is fine.
