Market Movers: Nike Exploding Higher on Insider Buying
"All on news that CEO Elliott Hill bought 16,400 shares for about $1 million. This follows news that Apple's Tim Cook bought $3 million worth of Nike stock. Cook, who has been on the NKE board since 2005, bought 50,000 shares at an average price of $58.97. Robert Swan, another Nike director, bought about $500,000 of stock on Dec. 22 at an average price of $57.54."
"All after Nike suffered with China sales, declining gross margins, and a cautious outlook. Technically, after catching strong support at about $57, the oversold shoe giant is starting to pivot higher. Last trading at $62, it's also starting to pivot from overextensions on RSI, MACD, and Williams' %R. From here, we'd like to see it initially refill its bearish gap at around $66.20 a share over the next few days."
""Up to 76% of people with Alzheimer's disease experience agitation, representing a significant unmet medical need for patients and their caregivers, and currently, there is a dearth of approved treatments. We look forward to continuing to work with the FDA for the remainder of the review," said Herriot Tabuteau, MD, CEO, as quoted in a company press release."
Nike saw insider purchases by CEO Elliott Hill, Tim Cook and director Robert Swan after weakness from China sales, falling gross margins, and a cautious outlook. Nike found support near $57 and has begun a technical pivot higher, trading around $62 with indicators unwinding overextensions; a refill of the bearish gap near $66.20 is a near-term target. Axsome Therapeutics jumped about 18% after the FDA granted priority review for AXS-05 to treat agitation in Alzheimer's disease, with an April 30, 2026 target action date. Nvidia asked TSMC to ramp H200 production amid large 2026 orders from Chinese tech companies.
