Brand momentum is building, raising PT to $79

We see considerable momentum building at Nike. The expected product rollout ramp over the next several months should return sales back to a high-single-digit growth trajectory. A number of gross margin pressures should dissipate, resulting in organic gross margin expansion driven by increasing full-price sell-through and manufacturing innovation. Long-term, we see scope for operating margins to advance into the high-teens, and see mid- to high-teens earnings growth as a good reason to have Nike as a long-term core holding.
