Shares of Nike Inc (NYSE:NKE). 5.1% gained in afterhours trading Wednesday after Pershing Square Capital Management LP, the hedge fund led by billionaire investor Bill Ackman, disclosed a new position in the sportswear giant.
The stake, comprising approximately 3 million shares, was valued at around $229 million at the end of the second quarter.
