Based on their report, they are facing a loss of seven-hundred and ninety million dollars.
Increased sales on the online platform

The lockdown has taken a toll on the sales level of the website and the company. However, the maximum product bought on the website is the sneakers.
Fall in the fiscal fourth quarter
Every good side has a bad return. The increased sale of products has increased the cost of shipping and returns. As a result, there has been undue pressure on the profit margin due to this increased expense. The fiscal fourth quarter of Nike has dropped from thirty-eight percent to forty-six percent. They recorded such a huge decrease in 2019. In their fiscal fourth quarter, their loss per share was fifty-one cents. Along with that, their overall profit was 6.31 billion dollars.
Dead-end Conclusion
Nevertheless, this biggest mega-organization is getting blows after blows during the COVID 19 pandemic. They have faced a retreat of around four percent in their trading details in after-hours. Unfortunately, the revenue gained from online stores is not up to the mark too. The shops and departmental stores are not taking enough orders to make up for the loss. Overall, the condition is very bad.
