The Zhitong Finance App learned that on the last trading day of 2025, as of press release, Nike (NKE.US) shares rose by 2.93% before the market on Wednesday to $62.98; previously, CEO Elliott Hill increased his holdings of the company's shares. Nike revealed in a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that Hill purchased 16,388 shares at a price of $61.10 each on December 29. The Nike stock purchased by Hill this time is worth slightly more than $1 million, and currently holds 241,587 shares.

Hill returned to work at Nike at the end of 2024. Previously, he retired from Nike in 2020, ending a 32-year career. He is widely regarded as a “lifelong Nike employee” with deep industry knowledge and a consumer-first philosophy. Analysts believe that his return to Nike may be a critical moment to reverse the decline in the company's performance.

Nike's 52-week stock range is $52.28 to $82.44. The stock has never reached triple digits since March 2024.
