What happened

Shares of Nike Inc (NYSE:NKE) dropped around 19% throughout 2016, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence, making it the worst-performing stock in the Dow during the year. The behemoth athletic wear maker has had difficulty during the year with slowing sales growth and declining margins -- but mostly it struggled to regain positive sentiment from Wall Street for the impressive moves it's been making.  

So what

In the company's fiscal Q2 earnings released on Dec. 20, Nike announced sales growth of 6% year over year and earnings up 11%. Both metrics failed to help alleviate worries on Wall Street throughout 2016 that the company's future sales and earnings might not have growth catalysts to drive higher returns. Two of the biggest concerns throughout the year have been decreasing gross margin and slowing futures order sales -- though the company has noted that futures orders don't accurately reflect sales potential because they don't include direct-to-consumer sales estimates. This led Nike to announce in fiscal Q1 that it would stop reporting futures orders figures going forward.

    Rotonti: Cognizant (NASDAQ:CTSH) recently named a new CEO. Does this change your investment thesis in the company?

    Allen: No. Cognizant's consulting and outsourcing model is benefiting from the increasing importance of technology spending and the scarcity of skilled tech labor, which should allow the company to generate high-single-digit revenue growth for many years. Francisco D'Souza has been the CEO since 2007 and was a co-founder of the company in 1994. After a successful tenure, he's ready to retire and we wish him all the best. The board conducted a thorough search process and selected Brian Humphries from Vodafone Business, who will bring a fresh perspective to the company.
