Nike to Exit S&P 100 After 18 Years Amid Market Value Decline
Nike will exit the S&P 100 index on September 21, 2026, after 18 years, due to a significant decline in market value and performance. The company remains in the broader S&P 500 but faces challenges including weaker direct-to-consumer sales, increased competition from rivals like Hoka and On Running, and strategic shifts that prioritized digital marketing over traditional retail partnerships. Four technology firms—Dell Technologies, Palo Alto Networks, Arista Networks, and SanDisk—will replace Nike and others in the S&P 100, reflecting a shift toward tech-focused companies in the index.
