Revenue growth at NIKE, Inc. has slowed to 0.2%, trailing the sector median of 4.0% by -95% — a gap that sits at the center of the current picture. FCF growth has fallen even further behind, lagging the sector median of 13.5% by -847%. The balance sheet offers a partial offset: the current ratio of 1.96 runs +77% above the sector median of 1.11, and Debt/EBITDA of 2.1× stays below the sector median of 1.1×. The F-Score of 4/9 reflects the mixed picture — profitability and efficiency sub-scores are weak while the balance sheet holds. Consensus models a meaningful earnings recovery, but the realized three-year EPS CAGR per SEC filings of {{value:eps_cagr_3y}} trails what the market prices in, and the forward PEG reads as stretched; the beat rate over eight quarters has been strong, though that measures execution against estimates rather than the pace of underlying growth.

Quarter-by-quarter classification · a retrospective read by the current logic · not a price forecast
Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice. The method did not see these quarters in real time; this is the current logic applied to past reports.
The market prices in earnings growth; analyst sentiment is weakening; has mostly beaten consensus.
Price against next year's expected earnings. The forward P/E already carries analyst optimism — read it alongside the “Versus consensus” line.
A forward P/E below the current one means the market expects earnings to grow; above it, to fall. The historical growth is realized figures from SEC filings, not a forecast.
The three-month change in the share of positive analyst ratings. This is sentiment, not an earnings-estimate revision, and not a call to act.
When NKE reports on 2026-09-28, track revenue year over year against the current -4.02% figure and check whether the F-Score profitability sub-score (now 2/4) shows any improvement. A sustained revenue decline relative to the sector median would reinforce the weak efficiency signal already flagged.
On SEC EDGAR, open NKE's most recent 10-K and read the Risk Factors and MD&A sections. Pay particular attention to disclosures around wholesale channel pressure and inventory management, both of which bear directly on the FCF growth figure sitting 847% below the sector median.
From the same-sector table in section 06, pick two or three companies yourself and line up one metric — current ratio, revenue growth, or FCF growth — against NKE's figures of 1.11, -4.02%, and the FCF shortfall. The table is alphabetical with no ranking, so the comparison is yours to frame.

Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice.
A simplified retrospective read: no analyst forecast (not available historically); the source is the annual report as of the date, so neighbouring quarters can rest on the same data. Quarters with the same classification in a row are merged into one row — each row is one change in the read, not a separate quarter. One ticker is an illustration of the classification logic, not statistics. How we calculate →
The last few quarters are recent context, not a fixed rate. Consensus for near quarters is set low, so companies clear it routinely; over long horizons the forecasts run the other way, too high.
A description of what the market and analysts expect. Not a price forecast and not investment advice. Analyst forecasts run systematically optimistic over long horizons — read them with that discount.
