Nike to Leave S&P 100 Index After 18 Years Amid Strategic Challenges
Nike will exit the S&P 100 index on September 21, 2026, after 18 years, due to a decline in market value amid quarterly index rebalancing by S&P Dow Jones Indices. The company remains in the broader S&P 500 but faces scrutiny over strategic decisions, including a focus on direct-to-consumer sales and digital marketing, which critics say weakened brand partnerships and allowed rivals to gain ground. Four technology firms—Dell Technologies, Palo Alto Networks, Arista Networks, and SanDisk—will replace Nike and others in the S&P 100.
