Nike Warning Triggers Broad Selloff in Athletic Apparel Stocks as Growth Concerns Deepen

Nike's latest warning over weaker sales and a sweeping restructuring plan rattled investors across the athletic apparel sector, sending shares of Lululemon, On Holding, Under Armour and Deckers Outdoor lower in early trading. The move underscored how closely the market is watching consumer demand, pricing power and inventory discipline across premium sportswear brands. The reaction suggests Nike's troubles are being read not just as a company-specific reset, but as a broader signal that the category may be entering a more demanding phase after years of outsized growth and valuation expansion.
