Nike says net income jumped 407%. Strip out a single tariff refund and full-year profit actually fell. That gap is the whole week in one number.

Rick Watson runs through it: Shopify moving its incentivized-review ban from partner guidelines into hard App Store policy, and deleting reviews tied to fake accounts across listings. Nike's headline quarter and the one-time $986M refund propping it up, with profit down 3% and China still unresolved. Walmart pulling Walmart Connect, Connect International, and Sam's Club Connect into a single ad business built on data from 10,000-plus stores. Target Plus adding Forever 21 and Clarks, chasing K-beauty, and offloading electronics risk while its marketplace grows nearly 60%, though curation may be too small to matter at Target's size. And the Investor Minute: Kroger and Giant Eagle at $1.65B, Jersey Mike's filing to IPO, and The Zero Proof buying The New Bar.
