What Happened?
Nike stock (NKE) is getting a lift today after Barclays upgraded shares to “overweight” and raised its price target from $64 to $73.
The analysts argued that investor pessimism toward Nike may have reached its peak, and that the company’s financials are hitting a fundamental bottom.
Barclays pointed to Nike’s “recent operational progress, financial inflections, and management’s disciplined actions” as reasons to expect a recovery.
The firm also suggested that improving results in North America could soon start to outweigh the ongoing headwinds from China and tariffs.
The new $73 price target implies roughly 30% upside from current levels.
That’s roughly in line with the broader analyst consensus, and eight of fourteen analysts currently covering Nike stock have a buy rating.

What the Market Is Telling Us About Nike Stock
Nike stock has had a rough stretch.
Shares are down about 25% over the past 12 months, pressured by declining sales, intensifying competition, and uncertainty over tariffs.
The company replaced its CEO in late 2024, bringing in Elliott Hill to lead a turnaround.
One year into that turnaround, there are real signs of progress.
- North America revenue grew 9% last quarter. Running — one of Nike’s key product categories — grew over 20% for the second consecutive quarter.
- Wholesale grew 8% globally, and the order book for the back half of the year is up.
- NIKE.com posted its best Black Friday ever.
The problems haven’t disappeared.
- Greater China revenue fell 16% last quarter, and management has been clear that the reset there will take time.
- Tariffs are creating a roughly 315-basis-point headwind to gross margins.
- Nike stock is still well below where it was two years ago.
But the narrative is slowly shifting.
Hill has restructured the leadership team, refocused the business on sport and performance, and is cleaning up an overstuffed promotions-heavy marketplace. The inventory is healthy in North America and Europe.
Nike’s stock’s next major test comes at the end of March, when the company reports fiscal Q3 earnings.
If North America’s momentum holds and China shows any signs of stabilizing, the bull case becomes easier to make.
