NKE Long-term outlook
NKE in January moving with tight movement between $51.63 – $54.12. The tight movement mostly happens because of the shift in major policies by President Trump. U.S withdrawal from TPP does not impact the company in big scale, but the company missed chance for lower import cost from Vietnam. If TPP signed, 43% of Nike footwear produced in Vietnam
If TPP signed, 43% of Nike footwear produced in Vietnam and apparel from Malaysia would enter U.S with less or without custom import duties. Although positive, if TPP signed, it will be hard for NKE to maintain its core business market in U.S with the splurge of import products enter the country.
On another note, the company faces implementation of board tax which will skyrocket the customs fees. Up to date, the policies enacted by President Trump is negative for the company in the long-term.
