According to recent updates, the analysts at UBS went ahead and upgraded the stock status for Nike to “buy”. Although the status was upgraded the analysts did talk about the recovery rate of Nike in the Chinese markets.
Nike is constantly feeling the pressure as it has not been able to meet the demand of the buyers due to supply chain issues. The product manufacturing factories for Nike in Vietnam are still not fully functional. As a result, Nike is falling behind in meeting the demand from the consumers in China.
Another major problem Nike faces in China is that its demand in the particular market has dipped compared to the last year. This is because the consumers in China reportedly launched a boycott against Nike’s products as the sports apparel giant stopped sourcing cotton from the country.
Nike had revealed it refused the cotton from China because of the forced labor issues that had been raising many alarms on a global scale. For now, the sales for Nike are showing no signs of recovering.
