Nike (NKE) – Nike reported quarterly earnings of 70 cents per share, 12 cents above estimates. The athletic footwear and apparel maker’s revenue came in above Wall Street forecasts as well. Nike shares have come under pressure despite the beat, after rising in 11 of the past 12 days and closing at a record high Thursday.
