Nike is benefiting financially from recent U.S. tariff refunds which boost its reported profits and cash balances, but it is also facing scrutiny over e-commerce practices tied to Phia, an affiliate marketing controversy raising questions about revenue legitimacy and dividend sustainability.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Consumer.
