Nike (NKE.US) stock jumped more than 5% after the company posted upbeat quarterly figures. The athletic apparel and footwear maker earned 78 cents per share, well above analysts' expectations of 62 cents a share. An 80% rise in online sales helped revenue rise nearly 9% to $11.24 billion in the three months through November, some 6% ahead of expectations. Company also raised its full-year sales guidance, as the pandemic continues to drive demand for sportswear. Nike is now calling for revenue to rise at a low-teens percentage year over year, compared with a prior outlook of up high-single to low-double digits. Company also plans for less discounting in the coming quarters and selling less inventory through wholesale channels.
