27% profits every 20 days?
This is what Nic Chahine averages with his options buys. Not selling covered calls or spreads... BUYING options. Most traders don't even have a winning percentage of 27% buying options. He has an 83% win rate. Here's how he does it.
Sports retailers were moving Wednesday morning following channel checks from Goldman Sachs analyst Lindsay Drucker Mann that suggest Nike Inc (NYSE:NKE) could begin selling directly through Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN).
NPD Group analyst Matt Powell also tweeted about the potential move.
What Nike Could Win
The athletic apparel giant already has a presence on Amazon-subsidiary Zappos, but sells only through unlicensed, third-party resellers on Amazon itself.
Nike could see a 100 basis points rise in global sales by selling direct on Amazon, according to Mann, amounting to $0.6-1 billion in retail sales.
This growth would be driven by increased control over how it appears on the site, citing Under Armour Inc (NYSE:UAA)’s business on Amazon as a baseline.
Under Armour already sells directly under it’s own, customized page on Amazon. It also has licensed third-party sellers on Amazon Marketplace. This setup allows Under Armour’s newest styles to appear sooner than Nike’s and encourages more customer reviews.
A cleaner, less fragmented landing page for consumers on Amazon would also appeal to millennials who prefer shopping online.
The Movers
The following retailers were moving in Wednesday’s pre-market session on the speculation:
- Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE:FL) down 6 percent.
- Dicks Sporting Goods Inc (NYSE:DKS) down 5.9 percent.
- Finish Line Inc (NASDAQ:FINL) down 4.8 percent.
Nike shares also rose as much as 1.9 percent on the report.
