Nike shares got a lift on Thursday afternoon after the athletic company beat earnings expectations for the first quarter in fiscal year 2024. The athletic giant reported Q1 revenues of $12.9 billion, up 2 percent compared to the prior year. This was in line with Nike’s previously issued guidance for Q1, which projected revenues between flat to up in the low single digits. It also was essentially in line with FactSet estimates, which expected sales of $13 billion. Nike’s net income was down 1 percent to $1.5 billion, with diluted earnings per share of 94 cents, which was up 1 perc...moreent year-over-year. This blew past FactSet estimates, which expected EPS of 76 cents for Q1. Nike shares were up more than 1 percent shortly after markets closed on Thursday. “Q1 offered proof of what Nike can deliver when we connect great innovation, great storytelling and great marketplace experiences to consumers,” said Nike president and CEO John Donahoe in a statement. “Moving forward, we are laser-focused on scaling these successes with greater consistency and speed as we continue to integrate and streamline our business. This is how we’ll extend our leadership position and drive growth over the long-term.” By channel, Nike direct revenues were up 6 percent to $5.4 billion, with growth seen across all geographies. Wholesale revenues were flat at $7 billion on a reported basis. Amid a retail industry in flux, market watchers were looking for Nike’s recovery progress in the two crucial regions of North America and China. Nike brand revenues grew 3 percent to $12.4 billion, driven by growth in EMEA, Greater China and APLA. Meanwhile, Nike brand revenues declined in North America in Q1. Converse revenues declined 9 percent to $588 million, in part due to a decline in North America sales. Q1 inventories were down 10 percent year-over-year to $8.7 billion. Nike’s gross margin took a hit in Q1 by 10 basis points due to higher product costs and foreign currency exchange headwinds, which was partially offset by “strategic pricing actions,” Nike said. Nike EVP and CFO Matthew Friend said in a statement that Nike’s results showed the “impact of staying on the offense over the past fiscal year.” He added, “With a healthy marketplace and another quarter of brand and business momentum, we are strengthening our foundation for sustainable, profitable, long-term growth.” In June, Nike said it expects fiscal year 2024 revenues to grow in the mid-single digits, accounting for headwinds from wholesale shipping timing from the prior year. Nike did not immediately reaffirm or revise its outlook....

Three people were killed in less than 12 hours, including a rapper executed on a sports field Warring gangs murdered three people in the span of 12 hours in the Swedish capital of Stockholm between Wednesday and Thursday. With one of the murders involving a devastating bomb attack on a residential building, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has vowed to bring in the military. The killing spree began on Wednesday evening with the fatal shooting of an 18-year-old man on a soccer pitch in southern Stockholm. The victim was described as a popular loca...morel rapper, and police spokesman Mats Eriksson told reporters that the execution-style slaying took place as children were training. A video of the murder is circulating on social media, Eriksson said, adding that police are looking for multiple perpetrators. Eriksson said that the killing may be connected to an ongoing gang war in the city. According to Sweden’s Aftonbladet newspaper, two drug kingpins from immigrant backgrounds – Rawa Majid, known as ‘The Kurdish Fox’, and Mikael Ahlström Tenezos, nicknamed ‘The Greek’ – are vying for control of the drug market. After a spate of shootings earlier this year, the conflict between the sides died down. However, an internal dispute between Majid and one of his associates named Ismail Abdo has set off another wave of violence and murder. Read more EU state raises Islamist terror threat level Abdo was reportedly behind an attempt on Majid’s life in Türkiye earlier this summer, which Majid allegedly responded to by killing Abdo’s mother. Police believe that a bomb attack on a house in the Stockholm suburb of Uppsala on Thursday morning was aimed at one of Majid’s relatives. However, the device was placed next to a neighboring house and killed a woman unconnected to the gang. Two houses were demolished in the blast while several others were damaged. Police have arrested two suspects and are investigating whether the bombing was linked to the Majid-Abdo dispute. The third killing took place at midnight in the suburb of Jordbro. Residents reported hearing up to a dozen gunshots, and officers arriving on the scene found two men shot, one of whom died of his injuries. Three men were arrested, and the shooting is being investigated for connections to the gang war.

Pointing out that fatal shootings have tripled over the last decade, Kristersson blamed the failed immigration policies of previous governments, which saw the country take in more than 800,000 primarily Middle Eastern and North African immigrants between 2015 and 2022. In response to the latest murders, and to nine other fatal shootings so far this month, Kristersson said that his government would deploy the military to “help the police in their work against the criminal gangs.”...
