Seriously considering getting a Swoosh tattoo on my forehead (ok, maybe on my calf like PHK) -- with a $75 after it -- after today's shellacking -- to remember forever (and to remind me when this stock is at $150). $NKE

$NKE SHOULD be getting tagged. So should $ONON and $DECK as Nike Futures are up so materially in the specialty running channel. But what the market is getting WRONG is taking $FL lower. FL is Nike's meal ticket to reaccelerating top line. It's a massive long here. It's a 2-3-bagger from here.

Donohoe talking about the WNBA. That's kind of what he is, the WNBA of CEOs. $NKE

How the Nike $NKE board does not fire Donahoe is a complete mystery to me. The guy's gone in April 2025 anyway when his contract is up. But end it already. Bring back Mark Parker, Eric Sprunk, or Elliott Hill. Shit, bring back ALL of them! Any of those guys will make this a $120 stock on a simple press release.

$NKE beat, but company 'revising' FY25 guide. And giving no detail on that until the call at 5pm. People are pinging me assuming a $3 EPS number. Just making stuff up. I'll go on record in saying that NKE will end up earnings better than where the consensus started in the first place. NKE internal forecast accuracy is horrendous.

@HedgeyeRetail Jun 27

I have yet to come in contact with anyone who says anything other than '$NKE is gonna puke the quarter and guide down." The volatility after this Nike print skews to the upside. The 12-month risk reward is money with this stock under $100.
