The latest data point for NKE's EPS Surprise % in Q3'26 stands at 20.7%, reflecting a moderate positive surprise relative to analyst expectations and marking a slight decline from the previous quarter's 41.4%. Meanwhile, the EPS Growth (YoY) for the same period is -35.2%, indicating a significant year-over-year contraction in earnings. Over the period from Q4'23 to Q3'26, EPS Surprise % has shown an overall volatile but predominantly positive trend, starting with a -1.5% miss in Q4'23 and improving to peaks of 80.1% in Q1'26, though it dipped sharply to 7.4% in Q4'25 before recovering. In contrast, EPS Growth (YoY) has trended downward since Q4'24's 47.1% surge, with consistent negative growth averaging around -30% in recent quarters, highlighting persistent earnings pressures despite occasional surprise beats. This divergence suggests analysts may be increasingly underestimating NKE's resilience amid broader growth challenges.
