Why Nike, Starbucks and Boeing have lost their magic
Published On Oct 25, 2024, 6:37 PM
Nike, Starbucks, and Boeing, once seen as strongholds in their respective sectors, are now confronting significant challenges. Nike faces increasing competition and rising manufacturing costs, impacting its profit margins. Starbucks is dealing with slower customer traffic post-pandemic and heightened wage pressures affecting its bottom line. Boeing continues to struggle with supply chain inefficiencies and quality assurance issues, further exacerbated by reduced demand for new aircraft. Investor confidence in these iconic brands is waning as they grapple with these operational hurdles.
