Historical Performance of Nike Stock in October
Nike (NKE) has experienced mixed performance during October over recent years. While it posted positive gains for three consecutive Octobers before 2024, the stock declined in both October 2024 and 2025. The current market sentiment toward Nike is extremely bearish due to a challenging business environment, including declining sales—particularly in China—and ongoing struggles under CEO Elliott Hill's leadership. As of early October 2026, Nike shares have fallen nearly 1.9% for the month and are down over 46% year-to-date. The stock is trading at levels near a 13-year low amid concerns about its ability to return to profitable growth. Despite these challenges, some investors remain cautious or skeptical of long-term recovery potential. The company recently reported a 4% revenue decline in the fiscal first quarter and announced layoffs as part of cost-cutting measures.
