Scores well on the fundamental metrics. It's enjoyed recent momentum, but that needs to be sustained for many months. They did that to start the year, but it was a false start when it declined in the middle of the year into the fall. Earnings are next week. What's happening with China's recovery? That's important.
He sold it Nov. 1. He bought is out of momentum, not fundamentals. He sold it out of slowing revenue growth. Is sensitive to the wider economy with global exposure like few apparel companies; he doesn't see improvement in the macros for at least six months. Nike is doing the right things, though: $2 billion in cost cuts and their margins are okay. But Nike is saying China, the Middle East and Europe are weak. He likes TJX, Ross Stores, Burlington and Lululemon instead.
