Nike, Inc. (NYSE: NKE) has reported a decrease in net profit for the first quarter of 2023, despite a modest increase in revenues. The company’s stock suffered a big loss following the announcement this week.
First-quarter net income dropped to $1.47 billion or $0.93 per share from $1.87 billion or $1.16 per share in the corresponding period of last year. The bottom line was negatively impacted by higher costs.
Meanwhile, revenues moved up 5% year-over-year to $12.69 billion. Weakness in the apparel segment was more than offset by higher sales in the core footwear division.
