Nike's 'Pace' Restructuring Delays Layoff Notices, Deepening Financial Uncertainty
Nike CEO Elliott Hill announced that job cuts under the new 'Pace' operating model will begin in 2027, but the company has not yet identified specific roles or locations. This delayed notification strategy, similar to recent moves by Meta and GitLab, aims to provide employees with time to seek new employment while potentially reducing severance costs. The announcement coincided with weak fiscal first-quarter results, including a 4% revenue drop and a 2% profit decline, as Nike faces a 46% year-to-date stock decline and a projected high-single-digit revenue decrease for the current fiscal year.
