Camilo Lyon from Canaccord
expects the company to reports "unfavorable" fourth quarter results, in terms of risk and reward. Lyon expects the company to report growth of 28 percent in Western Europe and projects a slight decrease in China projections.
Morgan Stanley
is optimistic for a fourth quarter beat. The analyst wrote, "We believe a 4Q14 EPS beat with in-line FY15 guidance will positively catalyze shares. We model $0.77 4Q EPS vs. the Street's $0.75, based on a higher top-line growth outlook. Guidance likely signals Nike's long-term mid-teens EPS growth story is on track and helps maintain the stock's P/E."

The analyst believes Nike's plan to concentrate in Europe and China will be successful in returning better turnover and lower inventory risk."
