New York (AFP) Sports giant Nike reported a surprise loss Thursday as shutdowns due to COVID-19 prompted a big drop in revenues in spite of higher online sales.
Nike reported a loss of $790 million in the quarter ending May 31, which translated to a loss of 51 cents per share compared with analyst expectations for nine cents per share in profit.
Revenues tumbled 38 percent to $6.3 billion following huge declines in sales in most of the world.
In North America, the companys biggest operating region, revenues plunged 46 percent to $2.2 billion.
A bright spot was online sales, with digital sales increasing 75 percent during the quarter.
The results are among the first by a major company to detail the hit from the coronavirus during the period of peak shutdowns. Nike is on a different fiscal calendar than most other large companies, with its fourth quarter ending May 31.
The second-quarter earnings period, which covers the quarter ending June 30, will begin in mid-July.

“Nike actually cheered when their stores were looted.”
Advertising for their foreign market, to which they gravitated by supporting Cupcake Kaepernik.
Happily, I will never buy Nike; unfortunately, they don’t give an obama.
The current CEO took over in January. He’s doing a swell job.
While I also hope it was due to the support for the American hating mediocre QB, I think we can blame the despotic shutdowns levied on us based on the politicized “science” of the Kung Flu.
good, libtard corporate virtue signalling ought to hurt big time.
I have the Wall Street I.Q. of a hockey puck, so can someone please explain that statement to me?
Gee, I wonder if their subliminal/ or not so subliminal endorsement of this bs going on caused it.
