Earnings first take

Beat or miss against consensus, what changed from a year ago and how the guide moved, out before the open. Every reported number traced to its source

The problem

The release lands after the close. The desk wants the read before the open

A first take has to separate reported from currency neutral growth, keep one time items in either period out of the comparison, and quote the new guide against the last one and the right consensus. One wrong comparison in a morning note travels fast

The request

Nike reported Q1 FY27 after the close yesterday. Give me a first take before the open: headline, beat or miss against consensus on revenue, gross margin and EPS on the basis consensus uses, what changed from a year ago, and the new guide against the last one and the Street. Use the call as well as the release. Call out anything one time. Consensus and our model are attached.
