RhinoStocks	Increased dividend to $0.27 from $0.25 for shareholders of record on 12/31.	Love	November 23, 2009
barrons3	As usual, the easiest way to make it back is to get on the horses that are leaders. What I did with 59 days left is figure out which companies were going to have the best quarters (e.g., Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Goldman Sachs (GS), Salesforce.com (CRM)) and which ones had already had the great quarters (e.g., Nike (NKE) and General Mills (GIS)), and I would buy gigantic positions in deep-in-the-money calls dated January. That way, I had the exposure I needed.	Love	October 08, 2009
barrons3	Nike (NKE) has gone nowhere fast the past four months, but its Sept. 29 earnings report could help it catch up. Analysts expect revenue to slip as retailers keep inventory tight, but hesitant investors are eagerly awaiting signs that margin pressures have peaked. Nike owns half the sneaker market, but still managed to enlarge its footprint in the recessionary tumult. It has almost no debt, has $3.5 billion -- or 12% of its market cap -- in cash, and reaps 60% of its sales from the faster-growing overseas market. While analysts see profits for the rest of the market rebounding heftily, they've penciled in just $3.51 a share for Nike in 2010, versus $3.81 in 2009. That could prove conservative. And traders eventually turn back to quality after they tire of the mad chase of riskier beta. Barclays analyst Robert Drbul thinks this quarter could mark the bottom in gross margins: "Historically, this is a rewarding time to own the shares of Nike."	Love	September 19, 2009

barrons3	That means you can make a lot more money on the oil-user side: retail like Kohls (KSS), J.C. Penney's (JCP) and Macy's (M); restaurants like Brinker (EAT) and Darden (DRI); apparel like Jones (JNY), VF Corp. (VFC) and Nike (NKE); as well as anything that goes into Best Buy (BBY).	Love	July 08, 2009
barrons3	Foreman likes to hang on to stocks as long as the companies remain solid businesses, an approach that ties in well with the fund's historic approach. Current positions include Nike (NKE), first added to the portfolio back in 1986. "We've owned it since basketball shoes became a 'must own' item for consumers," Foreman says.	Love	July 04, 2009

Stockpickr Staff	"Meanwhile people have decided that the shopping season is back with an amazing move in Target (TGT) -- maybe people are happy that the Pershing plan is not happening! Also VF Corp. (VFC) and Nike (NKE), the two most beaten up in the group just on fire. So much lack of safety."

barrons3	Sell - Price 53.14 on May 12 by Sterne Agee & Leach We're lowering our '09 and '10 E-EPS to $3.76 and $3.20, from $3.87 and $3.47 [driven by]...inventory build, foreign-exchange, end-market weakness, elimination of share-repurchases for next 2Qs and more severe margin pressure....We think it's likely that [sales, general and administrative spending] will come down substantially in the next 2Qs, but will resume growth in '10 second half as Nike positions itself for the Euro Cup and continues to combat Adidas and local brands in China. Target: 43. Market cap: $29.5 billion.	Love	May 16, 2009

barrons3	I’ve been watching Nike (NKE), reveals Tim Seymour. I think it has a little more room to run.	Love	May 13, 2009
barrons3	Same thing with a stock like a Verizon (VZ) or AT&T (T). Same with PPG (PPG). Same with VF Corp. (VFC). Same with Nike (NKE). They are going to have good numbers with all of this retail activity. This is the break I want to use to buy a stock like that. Nothing wrong with them. Good yields. They will see a turn if things get better.	Love	May 07, 2009

barrons3	Among cash-rich retailers, Nike and Coach look especially attractive. They sport moderate price/earnings multiples, have little debt and are expected to report higher earnings in fiscal 2009. Bob Drbul, a retail analyst at Barclays Capital, has an Overweight rating on both, and notes that "retailers become more dependent on established brands" in uncertain times. Nike trades for 51.15, or 12 times expected earnings for the fiscal year ending May 2010, and had $2.7 billion of cash and short-term investments, and $478 million of debt as of the end of November. The company reported last week that net income jumped 8.8% in the November quarter, on the strength of its international business.	Love	December 20, 2008

sarah z	The Beaverton, OR.-based company announced that their board approved a new four-year, $5 billion-dollar buyback plan. The program will begin once the company finishes its current $3 billion repurchase program. "We are pleased to extend Nike's track record of returning value to shareholders through sustained share repurchases," said Mark Parker, Nike President and CEO. "Over the past 10 years, Nike has returned $5.5 billion to shareholders through the repurchase of more than 157 million shares.” The world’s leading athletic footwear and apparel maker reported solid first-quarter earnings on September 24, 2008. Revenue increased 17% to $5.4 billion, compared with $4.7 billion in the same period last year. Net income fell 10% to $510.5 million, or $1.03 a share, from $569.7 million, or $1.12 a share last year. However, the report topped analysts’ expectations and the stock jumped 5%. The highlight for the quarter was the Asia Pacific region, where revenues surged 36% to $860.6 million compared to $633.7 million a year ago. Analyst Jeffrey S. Thomison from Hillard Lyons believes Nike’s results were impressive given the challenging macro environment. He commented, “Results have surpassed our expectations for several consecutive quarters, and we feel the company has favorable operating momentum and many growth opportunities remaining.” He recommends this stock for investors seeking some international exposure, seeing as nearly 60% of revenues come from over seas. He has a buy rating and an $82-dollar price target on NKE.	Love	October 08, 2008
