Nike is set to post its slowest revenue growth in two years when it reports fourth-quarter results on Thursday, due to a lack of innovation amid growing competition from Deckers' Hoka and Roger Federer-backed On. At least seven brokerages have cut their price targets on Nike since the start of the month, with many expecting the sportswear maker to further cede market share to newer, more innovative brands. "On and Hoka are still capturing consumers' interest and they're still taking market share away from Nike, and in that respect, I think Nike is still a company that is on the back foot... (and) feels slightly boring," GlobalData analyst Neil Saunders said.
