Key Metrics
Powered by EODHDP/E (TTM)
19.6
P/E (Price-to-Earnings)Shows how much investors pay for each $1 of profit. We display the TTM P/E (Trailing Twelve Months) which uses actual earnings from the last 4 quarters. This is more reliable than Forward P/E which uses analyst estimates.
Calculation: 39.91 ÷ 2.10 = 19.6
TTM period through: 2026-05-31
Forward P/E (estimated): 23.4
Based on analyst estimates
Reference: Provider P/E (Trailing): 19.4
Net Debt/EBITDA (TTM)
0.5x
Latest quarter: 1.4x
Net Debt / EBITDAA leverage ratio showing how many years of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) it would take to repay net debt. EBITDA approximates operating cash generation. Lower ratios (e.g., <3x) are generally safer; higher (e.g., >5x) may indicate more financial risk.
TTM through: 2026-05-31
Latest quarter (2026-05-31): 1.4x
The quarterly value can spike when quarterly EBITDA is very low (e.g., one-time charges).
Quick guide: <2x manageable, >4x can be risky (sector-dependent).
ROE
22.1%
ROE (Return on Equity)A profitability measure: how much profit is generated from shareholders’ equity. Higher isn’t always better if it comes from high debt.
EV/EBITDA
14.0x
EV/EBITDAA valuation ratio that compares total business value (including debt) to EBITDA. Lower can mean cheaper, but context matters.
Dividend Summary
Powered by EODHDDividend Yield (Fwd)
3.63%
TTM: 3.95%
Dividend YieldThe Forward yield (Fwd) shows the next announced annual dividend / current price — what you'd earn going forward. The Trailing yield (TTM) in the tooltip shows dividends actually paid in the last 12 months. Forward is shown as primary because it reflects the company's current commitment to shareholders.
Forward Yield (estimated): 3.63%
Trailing Yield (TTM, last 12 months): 3.95%
Payout Ratio (Fwd)
78.2%
TTM: 77.5%
Payout RatioDividends as a percentage of earnings. The Forward payout (Fwd) uses the announced dividend divided by actual past earnings (TTM) — it tells you if the company can afford what it promised. Very high payouts can be risky, especially if profits fall.

Summary
Nike remains fundamentally misaligned with this dividend growth strategy due to its discretionary nature and structurally declining earnings profile. With free cash flow failing to cover the 3.95% yield and valuation remaining stretched relative to growth, the risk profile is elevated. Not recommended for new positions.
Sector Context
Nike operates in the Footwear & Accessories industry within the Consumer Discretionary sector. This highly cyclical, fashion-sensitive space inherently lacks the defensive stability and predictable cash flows required for a core Dividend Growth Investing (DGI) portfolio.
📊 Strategy Analysis
- • Operates in a highly discretionary consumer sector, which fundamentally violates the core DGI strategy of focusing on essential, recession-resistant services.
- • Free Cash Flow currently fails to cover the dividend (0.91x coverage ratio), leading to a severely elevated TTM payout ratio of 104.46%.
- • Earnings are in a structural decline, highlighted by a 5-year EPS CAGR of -11.0% and a negative trajectory over the past 8 quarters.
⚠ What to Watch
- • Dividend sustainability is heavily compromised since current free cash flows do not fully support the distribution.
- • Valuation remains elevated at a 19.55x TTM P/E despite continuous fundamental deterioration and strategic missteps.
- • Significant structural and legal overhangs, including a massive €1.5 billion Belgian customs and tax dispute, pose material risks to future cash flows.
