"Nike's turnaround starting to pay off. ... there could have been some negative read across for the European rivals, Puma and Adidas. ... But it seems that the sales beat from Nike was taken by the market as a sign that there is kind of consumer momentum in that sportswear sector. And that bodes a little bit better for Puma and Adidas."

Commentary on the sportswear sector indicates that Nike's strong earnings, particularly in its running and wholesale segments, created a ripple effect of investor confidence. This optimism has spilled over to peers such as Puma and Adidas, despite inherent challenges in the segment, suggesting improved consumer momentum in the competitive sportswear market.
