Shares of the world’s largest sportswear maker were up 4.5% in trading after the bell. They have gained about 37% this year.
The global health crisis has pushed people to take up fitness-related activities such as running or biking, giving a much needed boost to Nike and other sportswear makers after they took a hit to sales earlier in the year from the pandemic.
Nike said revenue rose to $11.24 billion in the second quarter ended Nov. 30 from $10.33 billion a year earlier, while analysts on average had expected $10.56 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
The company reported a profit of $1.25 billion, or 78 cents per share, up from $1.12 billion, or 70 cents per share, a year earlier.
