Investors are calling a foul on Nike’s quarterly outlook.

Reporting earnings this week, the sportswear giant beat on both revenue and earnings, but under the hood, results were mixed: wholesale sales rose 5%, but Nike’s own stores and e-commerce sales fell 4%. Meanwhile, gross margins slipped to 40% as tariffs battered North American profits.

But the real problem? Management guided for sales to fall 2% to 4% this quarter, missing expectations for 2% growth, and warned that sales will sink by low single digits through the end of the calendar year. As a result, shares dropped over 15% yesterday, hitting their lowest level in over a decade and now sit down over 30% year-to-date.

Already a year and a half into his return at Nike, investors are clearly growing impatient with CEO Elliott Hill’s reset plan.
