Oppenheimer analyst Brian Nagel argues that while the dynamic surrounding potential, incremental tariffs on Chinese-manufactured items imported to the U.S. is fluid, Nike is quite well insulated to this threat. Per his math, footwear and apparel manufactured in China and sold in the U.S. represent just 10%-15% of total production in these categories for Nike, and the company already operates manufacturing facilities elsewhere in Asia and could further shift production out of China, over time, if necessary. Further, Nagel points out that management indicates that given the complexity of the overall Nike manufacturing and sourcing operations, the company has many levers to pull in order to help offset impacts of potential incremental import costs. Athletic footwear and apparel manufactured in China are already subject to duties at a mid-teens rate, while the company is enjoying significant pricing power with consumers, he adds. The analyst reiterates an Outperform rating on the shares.
