00:00let's go to Nike. Nike reported yesterday after the close, of course, EPS came in at $0.70 that

00:06beat the $0.52 estimate. Sales came in at $11.59 billion that missed the $11.65 billion estimate.

00:18So you had the EPS beat, you had the slight sales miss. And then the company came in and withdrew

00:24its forward guidance. They did talk a little bit about the CEO transition, said,

00:29a comeback at this scale takes time, but we see early wins. Anytime you're withdrawing the

00:39forward guidance, the market doesn't like the uncertainty. So the stock actually dipped on

00:44that as well as, again, there seems to be just a shakeup happening at Nike here with the CEO

00:50transition. It's going to take some time. Is the new Nike CEO going to be able to stop

00:56on on from selling shoes? Is it going to be able to take care of the competition?

01:03This is an issue of Nike not being the leader maybe anymore. Maybe not just like everybody

01:09has to wear a pair of Nikes. They've just lost that brand, that I have to have Nike because it's

01:17the name. That is going to be very, very difficult to rebuild. And I think a lot of people who are

01:24buying this for the turnaround story at $85, $87, $89 just got slapped in the face with the

01:29realization that the competition is here to stay.
