Key Metrics
Powered by EODHDP/E (TTM)
17.8
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: 37.13 ÷ 2.09 = 17.8
TTM period through: 2026-08-31
Forward P/E (estimated): 21.0
Based on analyst estimates
Reference: Provider P/E (Trailing): 17.9
Net Debt/EBITDA (TTM)
0.6x
Latest quarter: 2.5x
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: 2026-08-31
Latest quarter (2026-08-31): 2.5x
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
21.6%
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
12.1x
EV/EBITDAA valuation ratio that compares total business value (including debt) to EBITDA. Lower can mean cheaper, but context matters.

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.

Payout Ratio (Fwd)

TTM: 78.4%
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 highly discretionary business model and a prolonged multi-year trend of declining earnings. Although the yield has spiked to an attractive 4.42%, the dividend is currently uncovered by free cash flow, marking it as a high-risk yield trap. Not recommended for new positions.
Sector Context
Nike operates in the highly discretionary Footwear & Accessories industry. For DGI purposes, this sector lacks the non-cyclical, essential cash flows typical of utilities, staples, or healthcare, making it highly sensitive to macroeconomic downturns and shifting consumer preferences.
📊 Strategy Analysis
- • Exceptionally high historical yield of 4.42%, representing an 8-year dividend growth streak
- • Strong balance sheet profile with a low Net Debt/EBITDA of 0.59x and robust ROE of 21.56%
⚠ What to Watch
- • Operates in a highly discretionary consumer sector, lacking the resilient cash flows required for core dividend growth holdings
- • Prolonged fundamental deterioration evidenced by a 5-year EPS CAGR of -11.0% and declining revenues over recent quarters
- • Severe dividend sustainability risk: Free Cash Flow coverage is only 0.87x, and the TTM payout ratio is stretched to 105.13%
