Nike Inc (NKE US, +1, 15-April-26)

We ranked this stock +1 on December 24th based on an unusual and large $3 million purchase from Timothy Cook (Lead Independent Director, joined 2005) at $59, along with purchases of $500,000 each from Robert Swan (Director since 2022) and Jorgen Knudstorp (Director since Sept. 2025). 

Elliott Hill (CEO since Oct. 2024; former Senior Officer, 1998-2020) also spent $1 million in December after our upgrade. Three months later, and after reporting Q3 results on March 31st, the stock is 25% lower since December. Insiders have responded, however, and between April 7th and 13th have purchased an additional $2.7 million worth of stock at around $43 per share. 

John Rogers (Director since 2018) is new to the pattern and spent $173,000 in his first purchase since December 2024. Elliott Hill averaged down with another $1 million purchase, Timothy Cook added $1.1 million to his holdings, and Robert Swan spent $500,000. 

While the buying in December 2025 was not timely it is encouraging to see these four large insider purchases. 

We are renewing our +1 rank (positive signal).
