Nike (NKE) continued its earnings hot streak with a stellar report Tuesday that easily surpassed Wall Street’s expectations. The sports apparel maker and retailer also enhanced its revenue outlook while posting improved inventory numbers from the prior quarter. Nike, like other retailers, has been mired under a merchandise glut largely due to supply chain snarls, so inventories are still much higher than a year earlier, and they’re cutting into margins. But some aggressive clearance work, including a big shift of products to wholesale channels, has helped Nike feel like it’s past the peak of its inventory woes. Nike shares surged 11% after the apparel maker beat Wall Street’s expectations for quarterly earnings and revenue.
