Seems like a good value at this level. I just don't see Nike taking much of a hit even in the event of a recession. Their global brand is super strong, and they still have a lot of growth to come in overseas markets, especially in Asia and Latin Amer...

Currently underloved by the market, this company is still churning out the cash. Profit margin of 9% on shoes? Good grief! ROE of 23%. That's not too bad at all. Of course they have to remain popular with kids and young adults, what appears to be the...

Outperforming all competitors. With such a strong brand name recognition, this company appears to be a leader with room to grow. Stock has been on the rise recently...and stocks in motion tend to stay in motion.

There's a couple things I like here: a new inflow of higher wholesale prices should lead to stronger profits, especially considering that it is forecasting a softening in costs. Beyond short-term economics, Nike is also priming itself for a nice push...

Definately a Long-Term pick for me. Great recommendation by Patrick6K, well worth the read. Only things I can add are that I've seen Nike collectively take-out the number one companies in golf and soccer where Nike was barely a presence. Now, Nike...
