Smart Money Is Betting Big In NKE Options

The most critical earnings set for investors to look over and digest this season have just come out, and those are the results of the financial sector, particularly from banking stocks. However, investors need to understand that there are two types of banks to watch over this season: commercial banks and investment banks. The former covers the business cycle, while the latter covers the consumer cycle.
Investors would be surprised to learn that shares of Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/c#NYSE">C</a>) are down by over 5% the day after the bank reported its latest quarterly earnings results. The reason for the stock&#39;s decline, however, has little to do with Citigroup&#39;s actual revenues and fees and more with an industry metric and regulatory speculations.
This doesn&#39;t clear Citigroup out of trouble; otherwise, bullish traders and investors would have come running to the stock once the discount became apparent enough for everyone to close the gap and bring it back to its reasonably perceived price before the selloff took place. Investors can see the bearish momentum building up further in two simple metrics for Citigroup stock as a potential warning for the rest of the industry.
<h2>Citigroup Becomes the Latest Victim of a Worsening Consumer Sector</h2>
Credit losses and delinquency rates are on the rise. This trend has been accelerating since a couple of quarters ago, showing investors why consumer discretionary stocks like Nike Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nke#NYSE">NKE</a>) and Lululemon Athletica Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lulu#NASDAQ">LULU</a>) both trade significantly below their 52-week high prices.
For Citigroup, this trend came in the form of a $2.7 billion credit loss, which management directly quotes as being accredited to credit losses in their card business. This is not a Citigroup-specific issue but rather an industry-wide issue, considering that peers like Bank of America Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bac#NYSE">BAC</a>) have also reported similar deteriorations in their credit card business.
Even corporate banks like Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gs#NYSE">GS</a>) have decided to stay out of the consumer segment by ditching their consumer products initiative, particularly with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and their credit card collaborations. Going back to Citigroup, investors can notice the rise in 90-day delinquencies for their cards.
Now at 1.5%, compared to the 1.3% from 12 years ago, 90-day delinquencies show concern for the rest of the banks and stocks involved with the health of the U.S. consumer. This is not enough to send the stock lower by 5%, however, but the following factor is.
<h2>Citigroup Stock Selloff: Regulatory Speculation and Faltering Profits Behind the Decline</h2>
Citigroup&#39;s CEO, Jane Fraser, had to defend herself against accusations and speculations from analysts during the earnings call, all centered on the thought that Citigroup might suffer from what&#39;s known as an &quot;asset cap.&quot; Recently, another bank was deemed guilty enough of wrongdoing to have an asset cap placed on it.
Shares of Toronto-Dominion Bank (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/td#NYSE">TD</a>) are down over 13.5% from their 52-week high after the bank was accused of money laundering. While that has nothing to do with Citigroup, analysts are rightfully concerned about the possibility of these issues spilling over to other bank names.
These fears were sparked by the falling profitability at Citigroup, specifically with one of the industry&#39;s most important metrics. The bank&#39;s return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) fell to a low of 7%, which alarmed investors, considering most peers delivered a near-double rate of return.
Bank of America, for example, reported a much higher ROTCE of 12.8% on the same day. This creates concerns about Citigroup&#39;s management&#39;s ability to effectively invest the bank&#39;s capital to deliver industry-attractive rates of return, severely compressing Citigroup&#39;s future potential earnings per share (EPS).
A 7% decline in Citigroup&#39;s EPS attracted further bearish sentiment and momentum for the stock. Starting with short sellers, the bank&#39;s short interest has been on the rise over the past quarter, from $1.5 billion to over $2.2 billion this quarter.
Broader markets agree with Citigroup stock&#39;s further potential downside, as investors can gauge through current valuation multiples compared to the rest of the finance sector. Specifically, investors can look at Citigroup&#39;s 18.5x price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio as a major discount to the finance sector&#39;s average valuation of 49.5x today.
Markets typically discount a stock when they expect lower growth or lower prices ahead, which makes sense after Citigroup&#39;s fall behind its peers in some of the important profitability metrics and price action.

"Management cited the brand remains in ‘early stages' and ‘nowhere near maturity' internationally in any market w/China brand awareness at 15% today and single-digit market share globally," Boss said.
International revenue was growing significantly in recent years and hit 21% of fiscal 2023 revenue, the analyst added.
The analyst highlighted the company's three-pronged approach for international growth of localized planning, direct-to-consumer models and community activations.
Despite macroeconomic pressure in China, Lululemon was seeing strong growth in the country and low markdowns suggesting strong demand, the analyst added. &nbsp;
Boss highlighted a shift in consumer spending in China on fitness/outdoor and well-being products.
The analyst predicted Lululemon could hit 50% of its revenue coming from international markets by 2031.
"Our math points to another five years of +double-digit consolidated revenue growth assuming N/A revenues grow prudently ‘in line' w/ the category."
Oppenheimer on LULU: Visits to several athletic apparel company stores in China showed that consumer headwinds persist in China, Nagel said.
"Recent monetary policy easing represents a first step, but more aggressive fiscal efforts are likely needed to spur a broader, more significant rebound in domestic discretionary spending," Nagel said.
The analyst said consumer traffic was "solid" during visits mid-day on a Friday in China for several stores across Lululemon, Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) and Under Armour Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UA#NYSE">UA</a>).
"In our view, LULU is fresh and unique in Shanghai positioned as a performance-focused, albeit somewhat more toned-down lifestyle brand."
Consumer traffic in Lululemon stores and Nike stores was "more brisk than in nearby units of other brands," the analyst added.
Nagel said product offerings from Under Armour and Adidas were "less energized" and "more stale" than Nike and Lululemon.
LULU Price Action: Lululemon stock is up 1.37% to $282.06 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $226.01 to $516.39. Lululemon stock is down 45% year-to-date in 2024.

Demystifying Nike: Insights From 33 Analyst Reviews

Truist Securities analyst Joseph Civello upgraded Nike, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) to Buy from Hold and raised the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NKE/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target to $97 from $83</a>.
The analyst writes that while he still sees the turnaround process as lengthy and uncertain, he is more optimistic about the stock as investor expectations now seem more realistic.
In particular, the analyst attributes Nike&#8217;s recent struggles to its heavy focus on DTC growth since 2020, which has stifled innovation and caused customer fatigue with key products, making its current franchise management strategy necessary.
Exiting retail partnerships also resulted in share losses to competitors like ONON and HOKA, which will be difficult to regain, adds the analyst.
With experienced company leadership back in charge, the analyst believes that they are steering in the right direction.
Civello sees the rehiring of 30-year veteran Tom Peddie and the appointment of incoming CEO Elliot Hill, with his strong experience in marketplace and marketing, as<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39683071/whats-going-on-with-sneaker-giant-nikes-shares-today" rel="noreferrer noopener"> key steps in driving the turnaround</a>.
Although a full recovery is a long-term goal, near-term wins—like increased marketing investment, improved wholesale relationships, and promoting ambassador Caitlin Clark should help demonstrate to investors that better times are ahead, adds the analyst.
Civello maintained EPS estimates at $2.75 for 2025 and $3.10 for 2026.
This month, the athletic footwear and apparel&nbsp;company reported first-quarter revenue of $11.59 billion, missing analyst&nbsp;estimates&nbsp;of $11.65 billion and EPS of 70 cents per share, beating analyst <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41129610/nike-q1-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-beat-teams-energized-amid-ceo-transition-a-comeback-at-this-scale" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimates of 52 cents per share</a>.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;First Trust Dow 30 Equal Weight ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EDOW#NYSE">EDOW</a>) and VanEck ETF Trust VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat Value ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MVAL#BATS">MVAL</a>).
