1 Move That Could Send Nike Stock Soaring
Nike (NYSE: NKE) stock finished up 5% on Tuesday even as there was no company-specific news out on the stock.
Instead, the main driver of the gains came from a surprising source. stock soared 25% after it named a new CEO to drive a turnaround in the company after the business had faltered under CEO Laxman Narasimhan.
A 25% jump on a new CEO might be unprecedented, especially for a company the size of Starbucks, and it seems to have Nike investors thinking that a similar move could benefit them.
