Why did Nike stock jump today?

Nike stock is rising in U.S. premarket after the company disclosed a CEO share purchase, which investors often see as a vote of confidence. The move has sparked fresh interest to start 2026, lifting shares to about $63.71, up roughly 4.1%. Positive analyst commentary is adding support, with targets above the current price. Together, insider buying and sentiment form a near-term catalyst for a rebound-minded bid.

Is Nike stock attractive for Swiss investors right now?

It can be, provided you manage USD/CHF risk and valuation. The stock trades near $63.71 with a consensus target of $76.93 and a Buy-leaning rating profile. The 2.53% dividend is appealing, but the payout ratio is high, so growth execution matters. For Swiss residents, consider U.S. withholding tax (often 15% with W-8BEN) and broker FX costs. Stagger entries and reassess post-earnings on 19 March 2026.

What key levels and dates should I track for NKE?

Watch the 50-day average at 64.06 and the 200-day at 66.71. Near-term support sits around 61.92, with resistance near 64.20. The 52-week range is 52.28 to 82.44. RSI is neutral at 52.25, ADX at 18.65 signals no strong trend, and ATR is 1.97. The most important catalyst is earnings on 19 March 2026, where guidance and margins could shift the trend.
