Nike’s lost a third of its value in 41 days

Tied up from tariffs, Nike has now lost a third of its value from a recent high on February 25, just 41 days ago.

Shares of the sneaker kingpin were down more than 6% on Monday, a drop of more than $28 per share from late February. Aside from the broader market sell-off, the stock appears to be getting dinged by the Trump admin’s apparent rejection of Vietnams tariff negotiation offer. Vietnam said it would slash tariffs on US goods to zero if the US would agree to delay its levies against the countrys imports.

Vietnam, China, and Indonesia are responsible for 95% of Nikes shoe production, and all three countries were smacked with tariffs of more than 30% last week. The companys 13% drop on Thursday marked its lowest close in almost eight years.

Paramount Skydance reportedly preparing an Ellison-backed Warner Bros. Discovery takeover bid, sending shares soaring

Paramount Skydance is preparing a majority cash bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, The Wall Street Journal reported, sending shares of both companies surging. The Journal’s sources say the deal is backed by the Ellison family, led by David Ellison.

WBD shares were up 30% on the report, while Paramount Skydance jumped 8%.

The offer would cover WBD’s entire business — cable networks, movie studios, the whole enchilada. That comes after WBD announced plans last year to split into two divisions: one for streaming and studios, the other for its traditional cable and TV assets. A recent Wells Fargo note gave WBD a price target hike, primarily because the analysts viewed it as a prime takeover candidate.

If the deal goes through, it would bring together HBO, CNN, DC Studios, and Warner Bros.’ film library with Paramount+, Nickelodeon, and MTV, all under one umbrella.
