Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
public.com presents the rundown your daily market update in under 10 minutes my name is Zaid Admani and today is Wednesday April 1st in today's episode we'll recap a wild end to Q1 including some of the biggest losers of the quarter we'll also break down Nike's earnings and explain why the stock is
We got a great show for you today. Let's go. Well, what a way to end the quarter. Stocks absolutely ripped higher on Tuesday with the S&P 500 jumping 2.9%. The Nasdaq surged by 3.8%. And I'm even going to show the Dow some love because it was up over 1,100 points. The two main triggers for the rally were both related to the war with Iran.
First, President Trump signaled that he was ready to end the airstrikes in Iran. Trump told reporters that the US forces would leave Iran in two to three weeks. But I think the main catalyst yesterday was that Iran's official news agency said the country's president is open to ending the conflict. So that headline was enough for the markets to start celebrating.
We got an epic relief rally with over 400 stocks in the S&P 500 finishing in the green and oil prices pulling back. It's days like yesterday that make investors afraid of being too bearish because a couple positive headlines can lead to a massive surge. But let's zoom out a bit though, because while yesterday was great, the overall quarter was still pretty brutal. The S&P 500 fell 4.6% in Q1.
The NASDAQ dropped 7.1%. That was the worst quarter for stocks in nearly four years. Now, we'll have to see what happens moving forward and if the markets can build off of yesterday's rally. Personally, I'm still pretty nervous. You know, the Strait of Hormuz is still closed. And now we're getting reports this morning that Iran is now threatening to target U.S.
tech companies operating in the Gulf region, including NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft and Google. So we're not out of the woods just yet. But at this point, though, the market is just reacting headline to headline on a daily basis. We're staying on top of it for you guys, recapping everything happening. So make sure you guys are subscribed to the podcast and tuning in every day to stay in the loop.
let's run through some headlines starting with nike nike reported earnings last night and it was a reminder to investors that the company's turnaround plan still needs a lot of work now technically their quarter was fine revenues came in at 11.3 billion dollars basically flat from a year ago but slightly better than expected and earnings per share also beat estimates
The problem, though, is the outlook. Nike says that sales will drop two to four percent this quarter, while Wall Street was expecting a growth of almost two percent. And then for the rest of the calendar year, the company expects sales to keep declining. The biggest problem for Nike right now is China, which is Nike's third largest market, making up about 15 percent of their total revenue.
Revenue in China fell about 7% last quarter to $1.6 billion. And now Nike is warning that sales in China could drop another 20% this quarter. The company is dealing with operational missteps and also tougher competition from local brands like Anta and Li Ning, which is forcing Nike to discount heavily. And then you have the war with Iran. That's also impacting Nike.
