JD’s posture will likely be optimistic despite 5 important factors dictating growth reality: 1) reality of China, 2) wholesale slowdown, 3) macro headwinds, 4) innovation freeze and 5) questionable shareholder value w lowest stock price in years…
Question: will this be his last earning’s call? BOD makes the tough decision before JD saves himself, cutting costs with another layoff?
Lots at stake.
Can we get ES back too
JD doing so great that they’re bringing MP and EH back - soon ….
And that's what you call earnings management. Structural issues remain (weak product, China, etc.).
Not a huge fan of the 400+ VP’s who presided over the teams that watched the stock being destroyed. Not a big fan of those teams either.
Not a JD fan but a lot of doom and gloom leadership look silly right now.
Thank you JD for leading us through this!
I hope JD sticks around for another 5 years! Excellent work on the earnings JD!
In JD we trust!
Thank you JD for leading this turnaround!
Loving the after market pop, thank you JD!
And cheaters gonna win
Trollers gonna troll.
Best of luck to all of us today. May the stock soar post earnings
JD is a self professed tech company CEO, whereas we need someone who has come up through the ranks, whose heart beats to Nike, to innovation, and who has a ki-ler attitude towards crushing our competition, everywhere and all the time. And makes decisions with some degree of urgency.
I don’t think JD is a bad person and I think he should be respected on the way out. And I think that is the messaging to the public - he came in to a difficult situation and “successfully” accomplished what he was asked.
Was he successful? Being a “tech CEO” and seeing where GT is today, I would say no. AC was a supply chain guy who took the fall for GT, but given tech is JD’s realm, the ultimate responsibility relies with him, especially as CEO.
I wish him well but I’ve had enough of our peacock who thinks he’s a football coach.
MP didn’t have guts to take some of the actions taken by JD
People who look at the stock price daily can't see the forest for the trees. John isn’t my favorite CEO but you had realize he was coming in as a short term leader anyway. 4-5 years max. My assumption, that tenure is coming soon mostly because he came in to deliver what he was suppose to do. Was it successful? I’d say mixed
Hang on to your stock options, this is just short term pain. Tide will change, Nike is position very well for growth.
Just based on how you write, I feel like you write one post per week about how you hate the CEO. Seems like you should hit the external job board.
Granted, not happy about the stock price either but it did the same last Sept.
