On May 8, Wells Fargo downgraded NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE) to Equal Weight from Overweight and lowered its price target from $55 to $45. This still reflects an upside of 6.4% from here on. Wells Fargo believes the company is facing stiff competition due to market oversaturation. The broader shift away from athletic apparel has created a negative investor sentiment across the largest footwear company globally.

Additionally, the company is facing a class action lawsuit. NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE) charged its consumers higher prices to cover tariffs, but hasn’t returned that money now that the tariffs have been ruled out. Similarly, the Beaverton, Oregon-based company is also facing similar lawsuits after the US Supreme Court ruled against the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. In its defense, the company disclosed that Trump’s tariffs forced it to pay roughly $1 billion in import levies. As a result, the athletic giant increased the prices of some footwear and apparel by $5-$10 and $2-$10.

NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE) operates as a global sportswear company that develops, designs, markets, and sells casual and athletic footwear, equipment, apparel, and accessories. The company’s portfolio consists of brands such as NIKE, Chuck Taylor, One Star, Jordan, and Jumpman.
