Nike trimmed its fiscal-year revenue guidance on views for a
negative topline performance in the current quarter.
Shares drop 11%, to $108.97, in after-hours trading
Thursday.
The shoe and apparel company now expects to end its fiscal year
ending in May with revenue growth of about 1%, Finance Chief Matt
Friend said during a call with analysts.
Nike had most recently guided for full-year revenue growth of
mid-single digits.
The company also forecasts revenue to be up low-single digits in
the fourth quarter, Friend added.
Nike's outlook comes as it announces $2 billion cost-cutting
plan amid growing competition from rivals such as Deckers
Outdoor-owned Hoka and Swiss footwear company On.
