Hedge Funds Increase Nike Holdings Amid Mixed 13F Filings

Recent analysis of the 24 latest 13F filings for the 03/31/2025 reporting period reveals that Nike (Symbol: NKE) was held by 9 of these funds. Observing patterns among hedge fund managers can provide valuable insights into market sentiment.

It’s important to note that 13F filings only reflect long positions required by the SEC, omitting short positions. This means a fund could be bearish on Nike through short-selling while simultaneously holding long positions to hedge its overall risk. Thus, the long component in a 13F filing might mislead observers into believing a fund has a bullish outlook when, in fact, its stance could be more complex.

With this understanding, reviewing groups of 13F filings can be informative, particularly when assessing changes in holdings over time. The following details the shifts in NKE positions among the most recent 13F filers:

Among the funds analyzed, three increased their NKE positions from 12/31/2024 to 03/31/2025, while six reduced their holdings. This shift highlights differing strategies and market outlooks among hedge funds.
