During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Nike returned $714 million to shareholders, consisting of dividends of $591 million, up 6% from the prior year, and share repurchases of $123 million. Nike has repurchased 124.4 million shares under its $18 billion program approved by the board in June 2022 for a total of approximately $12.1 billion. At the end of the quarter, inventories at Nike were $8.1 billion, down 2% compared to the prior year, while cash and short-term investments were $8.6 billion, down approximately $1.7 billion from last year. Nike continues to face pressure in its footwear division, though apparel sales were strong in the quarter. Footwear revenue fell 12% on a constant currency basis in China. Looking to the fiscal second quarter, revenues are expected to be down low single digits, while gross margins are expected to fall 300-375 basis points, including a net headwind of 175 basis points from tariffs.
