The week on Wall Street was capped on Thursday, June 27th with the release of the Nike, Inc. (NKE) Q4 2024 and fiscal year 2024 earnings report.
Time To Sell All Nike Shares, Here’s Why:
Full year top-line revenues were up 1% year-over-year to $51.4 billion.
Q4 2024 top-line revenue was $12.6 billion, down 2%.
NIKE Direct revenues for the fourth quarter were $5.1 billion, down 8%.
Quarterly Revenue for Converse was $480 million, down 18%.
The company also guided lower for its fiscal year 2025, which is what contributed to today’s dramatic decline in share price.
On Wednesday, June 26th, Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) shares began trading on their 50-for-1 post-split basis.
Chipotle last released its earnings on April 24th, with the following Q1 2024 results:
Top-line quarterly revenue was up 14.1% year-over-year to $2.7 billion.
Quarterly comparable restaurant sales increased 7% year-over-year with transaction growth increasing over 5%.
Digital sales represented 36.5% of total food and beverage revenue.
During the quarter the company also opened 47 new restaurants in 43 locations, including its first “Chipotlane,” a stand alone pick-up drive-through location.
This is why this is significant:
These 47 new stores will produce revenue that will show up over the next 6 months to a year. Higher revenue generally means a higher stock price!
I highly recommend CMG as a short-term trade and long-term hold.
On Friday, June 28th, the Fed’s preferred economic measure, the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index (PCE) data was released, showing inflation during May dropped to its lowest annual rate in more than three years.
We are now at 3.3% inflation, down from 3.7%.
What does this mean?
The U.S. economy is finally showing major signs of a slow-down. A federal reserve interest rate cut is much more probable for the 4th Quarter of 2024. The first major rate cut will cause stocks to soar.
As Wealthy Investors we are looking forward to the Broadcom, Inc. (AVGO) stock split, still scheduled for Friday, July 12th after market close.
Stay Open! Stay Positive!
