Nike shares surged after its fiscal first-quarter results significantly beat Wall Street expectations, indicating CEO Elliott Hill's turnaround strategy is showing promise. Revenue increased 1% year-over-year to $11.72 billion, and earnings per share exceeded estimates. The company's pivot back to wholesale partners and focus on key product categories are contributing to this positive momentum. Despite ongoing tariff challenges, Nike's improved performance has boosted investor confidence.
