NKE
Nike, Inc.
stock NYSE

Dick's stock plummeted 15% on Thursday, its worst intraday performance since August 2023.
Investors gave a thumbs down to Dick's Sporting Goods after it announced a $2.4 billion acquisition of shoe store chain Foot Locker (FL).
Dick's stock plummeted 14.6% to $179.05, in its worst intraday performance since August 2023.
Analysts questioned whether the acquisition would distract Dick's from its core business, raising doubts about the strategic fit of acquiring Foot Locker—a capital-intensive company facing operational challenges.
According to The Fly, TD Cowen analysts deemed the deal a "strategic mistake" and misallocation of capital. They cited risks to synergies and integration and the "clear structural risk" to Foot Locker's business for the downgrade.
Gordan Haskett said while Dick's "provided a compelling rationale for the deal," it still questions the added operational complexity of adding a global footwear business with small-format, mall-based stores that is still in turnaround.
Announcing the deal on Thursday, Dick's said it expects to operate Foot Locker as a stand-alone business unit and maintain the Foot Locker brands. It would finance the deal with cash and new debt.
Jefferies said that Nike (NKE) is an unexpected winner of the deal. "A better-run FL, combined with a cleaner marketplace and resonant innovation, should support NKE's recovery," the investment firm said in a note.

Plz NKE you’re making me poor 

UNH, HTZ, NKE, BULL -> the regard etf 

I lost a bunch on PFE ... FROM $37 to $25 ... WBA from $39 to $21... Finally said f@k it ... Took the losses on PFE and bought HOOD 1 for 1 essentially... Now HOOD is $62 ... PFE is $22 .. Took loss on WBA and bought PLTR for $24 (though i overpaid 😭)
PFE now pays $1.72 / year and u have to wait 3 months for measly $0.43
Yesterday I sold $80 HOOD calls for Jun yesterday for $1.12 (37 days away) ... Do that 10 times a year, collect about $10 in premium... Same price at the beginning.
With PLTR i can sell 1 year (June 2026) call for $180 ($50 upside from current price) and buy 100 shares of PFE with premiums (pays $22 x 100 for 1 contract) ... I freaking bought those shares for $24-26 a year ago ... Not even.
I'm worried HOOD will be $90 by end of the year and i will get caught with my covered calls, having to sell for 400% profit 😱😳
So basically i did the opposite of you, and sold 95% of all dividend plays last year and went balls to the wall growth... And some YieldMax to spice things up and cover lost cash flow... Except options bring 2-3x the amount of dividends i was getting...
Sold all MO for $49 - peeps here called me an IDIOT... Bought TSLY at $18 for cash-flow and PLTR at $26 ...And had some money left over ...
Since then TSLY paid more in divs than MO, and PLTR is ahm ... $130
NOT bragging dude ... I've been there ... Not giving u advice... But UNH and PEP, NVO & MRK will most likely recover.
UPS is $hit company and AMZN will eat their lunch.. NKE, really?? ... have u seen their ads? No wonder it's $62 ... Fat dudes in bras.. really? And i should buy their overpriced crap after that? Hells no... I will buy Merrell
Not telling u what to do, but there are still great growth companies and decent valuations (not as good as 3 weeks ago, but still... And we got kinda overbought... So will likely have a pullback.
I was picking up ALAB and ANET in March and April - on the way down (catching the falling knife) and a little on the way up... they were on mad sale
Basically both were 30-50% below current price. Still both are way off their highs and both pay great covered call premiums.
Heck even NVDA is still inexpensive and like 10% below ATH... And growing revenue by 78% YoY ... And has 56% NET PROFIT MARGIN and even pays a DIVIDEND 😎👍
(ALL the metrics here: https://www.dripcalc.com/stocks/nvda/)
Of course it was way better at $90... But AI was dead... And now its back to life 😂
Basically not all your stock are 💩 but some are ... Again not an advice on what to do, but if you are young(er) ... U have time and there will be unicorns to 2-3-5x your money. Options (covered calls) for me replaced dividends... I just have to remind myself - don't be too aggressive if you don't want to lose your shares...
BEST OF LUCK
PS - i know I will get much hate here... Dividend bros are a hateful bunch.. guys - i created DripCalc because i was convinced dividends were the way... I since had an epiphany 🤣
I still love them, but i have time to make growth work for me... My father in law doesn't even want to enable Level 1 options... So for him dividends are the way.

UNH is fucked. If you haven't realized the second shoe is still to drop on that one, you're not paying attention.
The most undervalued stock in the market is INTC.
I also really like PAYC, AMD, NKE, SIRI, TGT, and F. Started positions in all of them recently, and added heavy to most last Friday.

so you're saying calls on NKE?

PUTS on NKE, SBUX, INTC, and ABBV. Otherwise pickings be slim at this point since UNH ran it’s course

NKE I’ll suck u so good if u just go up a lil more 

So I made what I thought was a clever move: rotate into dividend stocks that could still go up.
Big mistake.
The result? I’ve been completely decimated.
UNH, MRK, NVO, PFE, NESTE, TGT, GIS, UPS, PEP, Mercedes, NKE, Porsche, STLA... all of them have been crushed.
Special mention to the all-time champion of red days: KHC, Kering, ... It hasn’t seen green in half a year. Just red. Relentless red.
The only consolation? F and O occasionally throw me a dividend here and there. Not even enough to buy a coffee, hahaha.
To be perfectly honest, this will be the last time in my life I buy these types of stocks. They go nowhere, they just bleed. You end up with -30, -40, sometimes -50 percent in unrealized losses, all for a couple of percent in dividends.
Now I understand why billionaires stick to the basics. They buy the top 7, QQQ, SPY. And that’s it. Everything else is getting dumped, aggressively.
Lesson learned.

- **Historical Move v Implied Move:** We determine the historical volatility (standard deviation of daily log returns) of the underlying asset and compare that to the current implied volatility (IV) of the option price. We use the same DTE as a look back period. This is used to determine the Call or Put Premium associated with the pricing of options (implied volatility).

- **Directional Bias:** Ranges from negative (bearish) to positive (bullish) and accounts for RSI, price trend, moving averages, and put/call skew over the past 6 weeks.
- **Priced Move:** given the current option prices, how much in dollar amounts will the underlying have to move to make the call/put break even. This is how much vol the option is pricing in. The expected move.
- **Expiration:** 2025-06-27.
- **Call/Put Premium:** How much extra you are paying for the implied move relative to the historic move. Low numbers mean options are "cheaper." High numbers mean options are "expensive."
- **Efficiency:** This factor represents the bid/ask spreads and the depth of the order book relative to the price of the option. It represents how much traders will pay in slippage with a round trip trade. Lower numbers are less efficient than higher numbers.
- **E.R.:** Days unitl the next Earnings Release. This feature is still in beta as we work on a more complete list of earnings dates.
- **Why isn't my stock on this list?** It doesn't have "weeklies", the underlying is "too cheap", or the options markets are too illiquid (open interest) to qualify for this strategy. 480 underlyings are used in this report and only the top results end up passing the criteria for each filter.
