Nike has long been developing a digital-first, direct-to-consumer (D2C) presence long before COVID-19 hit, and that investment paid off in the firm’s fiscal Q2. In investments, social media-focused attire reseller Poshmark recently filed for an initial public offering, hoping to catch an IPO wave that saw massive first-day increases for DoorDash and Airbnb. And in dining, quick-service restaurants (QSRs) are working to upgrade their digital channels and are entering into digital-only offerings. All this, Today in Data.
