Tim Cook Buys 50,000 Nike Shares as Tudor Builds Big Call Position

Analysts urge investors to look past the signal to Nike’s still-mixed fundamentals.

Overview

  • An SEC filing shows Cook purchased 50,000 shares of Nike Class B stock at $58.97 in late December, lifting his holdings to 105,480 shares in a roughly $2.94 million open‑market buy as a Nike board director.
  • Nike shares moved higher following disclosure of Cook’s purchase, reflecting investor sensitivity to insider buying at the company.
  • A Q3 2025 13F filing shows Tudor Investment held call options tied to more than 1 million Nike shares worth about $71.63 million, along with roughly 140,700 puts worth about $9.81 million and 26,447 shares.
  • Nike’s latest reported quarter showed revenue up about 1% year over year, with wholesale rising 8% but higher‑margin Nike Direct falling 8%.
  • Coverage notes that insider buys can signal alignment or confidence but should be weighed against the company’s more than 60% stock slide since 2021 and its uneven operating trends.
