New Nike CEO will prioritize wholesale partnerships: Analyst
Shares of Nike (NKE) are rallying after the company announced that CEO John Donahoe will be stepping down next month after a rocky five years at the company. Nike veteran Elliott Hill will come out of retirement to fill the role of CEO and president effective October 14. Barclays consumer discretionary analyst Adrienne Yih joins Morning Brief to discuss Nike's leadership shakeup and what it means for the company's outlook. As Hill steps up to the challenge, Yih believes he will prioritize relationships with wholesale retail partners: "It's the base for kind of the brand strength going forward. And even though it's margin dilutive, when you're a $50 billion global footprint brand, you need both channels to be working in your favor." She believes that Hill is the right person for the job, explaining that he's well-liked at the company, and before his retirement, his positions at Nike focused on the global marketplace. "We moved away from what was great about Nike, which is the brand innovation, the pipeline, the high-heat product, and the marketing that goes behind all of that. Remember, their demand creation budget used to be 10% of the top line. It had fallen under this management to about 7 to 8%, partly because there wasn't anything to get behind," she says, adding that she "couldn't think of a better person" for the job. Yih explains that Hill will be at the helm of the "critical" Nike Investor Day on November 19 and believes his remarks will "set the tone for kind of going back into their channel partners in terms of the pipeline." She notes that new products are coming to the market in early 2025, and adds that by this time next year, the focus will be on what Nike has in store for the latest back-to-school season.

Nike CEO's retirement, AI-powered ETF: Asking for a Trend
On today's episode of Asking for a Trend, Host Josh Lipton breaks down some of the biggest stories from the trading day. A big C-suite shake-up is coming to Nike (NKE) as CEO John Donahoe announced his retirement. He will be replaced by former Nike executive Elliott Hill, effective October 14. Bernstein senior analyst Aneesha Sherman likes the move, arguing it's good news for the stock for two reasons: Hill will be the new CEO and the announcement's timing. She notes that Hill has a long history at Nike, especially with the product, and appears to be well-liked at the company. "This is not only the right skill set in terms of understanding product and understanding Nike. I think he will be the right leader in terms of communication and vision because he's already very well known and liked within the organization," Sherman tells Yahoo Finance. Intelligent Alpha founder and CEO Doug Clinton joins the show to break down the investment firm’s new artificial intelligence-powered exchange-traded fund (ETF), Intelligent Livermore (LIVR), and how AI could transform trading. “We have created an investment committee built on AI [with] three different large language AI models: GPT, Claude, and Gemini. They analyze data and a philosophy that we give those committee members, and then they create a portfolio of stocks that reflect whatever portfolio or exposure we want the AI to create for us,” Clinton explains. Intelligent Alpha launched its AI-powered ETF Wednesday on the Nasdaq, and says that it is currently exposed to major investing themes like AI through names like Meta (META), as well as global markets like Asia and Latin America. TikTok was in court earlier this week making its case against the so-called "ban bill" which would require its Chinese parent company ByteDance to divest from the social video app or risk a nationwide ban. Project Liberty Founder Frank McCourt is hoping to acquire the company. "I think it's pretty clear to everyone now that the Chinese Communist Party controls TikTok and that they're holding the information on 170 million Americans, is not a good thing. It's a real threat. And of course, the ability to manipulate 170 million Americans is even more of a threat." If McCourt were to acquire TikTok, he would plan to migrate the platform's users to a "new protocol where each individual would control their identity and their data." He emphasizes that he is not interested in the algorithm, saying, "We don't need it, and we don't want it." This post was written by Melanie Riehl
