Nike's fiscal fourth-quarter results on Tuesday are less about the reported figures and more about whether management can show the turnaround is gaining traction. Bank of America expects earnings of 11 cents a share, in line with consensus, and a 3% sales decline, consistent with prior guidance, with a one-time benefit from tariff refunds. The key focus will be commentary on North America wholesale sell-through and an update on China, where BofA models a 20% sales drop. Nike's stock is down 35% year to date, and investors need proof that new products are moving at full price and that the China reset is working. The report also comes ahead of a CFO transition, with David Denton joining in August, while the FIFA World Cup provides a marketing boost but not a full recovery signal.
