Yahoo Finance's Jared Blikre looks at Nike's stock following its Q4 earnings beat, along with its share buyback program its company board announced.

Video Transcript

SEANA SMITH: Well, let's get to some breaking news. Nike earnings are out. Jared Blikre has that for us. Jared.

JARED BLIKRE: That's right. The stock has been up as much as 4% in after hours trading. And that is-- excuse me here-- that is after reporting beats on both its top and bottom lines. Revenue for the fourth quarter coming in at $12.23 billion. That is down about 1/10 of a percent year over year, but it beats the estimate of $12.13 by a dime. North American revenue a little bit light, $5.12 billion. That's down 5% year over year. East, Middle East, and Africa revenue, that was a beat coming in at $3.25 billion. Greater China revenue, a little bit light there, $1.56 billion, down 19% year over year. The estimate was for higher at $1.74 billion. Finally, Asia-Pacific and Latin America revenue, that was $1.68 billion, up 15% year over year and a beat.

Now let's get to the footwear revenue by segment. This comes down to-- comes up to $799 billion. That beats the estimate of $7.77 billion. Apparel, a little bit light, $3.24 billion. The estimate was for $3.4 billion. And finally, equipment revenue, that was $387 million versus the estimate of $371.6 million. EPS, that was $0.90. And that was versus TheStreet estimates of $0.82. A couple more figures here. Gross margin coming in a little bit light, 45%. Estimate was for 46.7%. And then finally here, we have a new buyback program authorized in the amount of $18 billion. Guys.

SEANA SMITH: All right, Jared, we can see the stock up slightly here after it was up just around 1%. We're going to have more on that later this hour. Jared Blikre, thanks so much.

  • Dollar edges higher as traders await U.S. inflation report

    The safe-haven dollar edged higher on Tuesday, erasing earlier losses as risk appetite dwindled ahead of key inflation figures that could offer clues on how aggressive the Federal Reserve will be in its expected interest rate hike in September. The dollar's safe haven status, though, makes the greenback's reaction a little harder to predict, especially as growth and geopolitical worries swirl.

  • Fed's Kashkari: More rate hikes ahead, and possible recession

    (Reuters) -Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank President Neel Kashkari on Wednesday said he is sticking to his view that the U.S. central bank will need to raise its policy rate another 1.5 percentage points this year and more in 2023, even if that causes a recession. The Fed is "far, far away from declaring victory" on inflation, Kashkari said at the Aspen Ideas Conference, despite the "welcome" news in the consumer price index report earlier in the day that inflation may have begun to cool. Kashkari said he hasn't "seen anything that changes" the need to raise the Fed's policy rate to 3.9% by year-end and to 4.4% by the end of 2023.

  • U.S. productivity posts biggest ever annual drop in second quarter

    Large shifts in the composition of the U.S. workforce in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic have made it harder to measure underlying productivity growth, which some economists put at about 1.0% or less, making the Federal Reserve's fight against inflation more difficult. Unit labor costs - the price of labor per single unit of output - rose at a 10.8% rate.

  • Australia's Graincorp hikes profit view again on soaring demand, favourable weather

    (Reuters) -Australia's Graincorp raised its annual profit forecast for the second time, as the agribusiness firm capitalises on strong demand for grains and vegetable oils amid a supply crunch from the war in Ukraine, pushing its shares up more than 10%. The profit upgrade on Wednesday was also encouraged by expectations of above-average East Coast Australian (ECA) crop in year 2022/23, combined with a favourable three-month rainfall outlook. Global wheat prices reached record levels in early 2022 as major exporter Ukraine's supplies were essentially cut off due to Russia's invasion, triggering a five-fold jump in Graincorp's first-half profit and allowing it to pay a special dividend.
