The Connection Between Super Bowl and the Stock Market
The Super Bowl is more than just a major sporting event; it is a prime advertising battleground where companies showcase their brands through high-budget commercials. Investing in a Super Bowl ad signals financial strength, as a 30-second spot costs approximately $8 million according to CBS News. Historically, listed companies that participate in this costly marketing effort have historically always been rewarded with vast amounts of visibility and sales.
Booking Holdings: A Strong Contender
One standout performer among Super Bowl advertisers is Booking Holdings Inc. , listed on NASDAQ. Booking Holdings, Inc. the company that engages in the provision of online travel and related solutions has been showing strong financial momentum, with trailing twelve-month (TTM) net income rising to $5 billion from $4.29 billion in 2024. While its stock prices are currently high, potential investors should monitor for a better entry point.
The forecaster terminal helps you find the perfect entry point. Over the last 10 years the month of June has been a negative month for Booking’s stock price (see figure below), with short sellers being rewarded 8 years out of 10, yielding an average return of 7,9%.
Similarly, the forecaster terminal has identified (on a 10 year basis) July as the perfect entry point for long positions, with traders who held until November being rewarded 8 years out of 10 with an average return of 15.3% (see figure below).
Is Uber’s Momentum good for an entry point?
Uber also ran a Super Bowl commercial, specifically for its Uber Eats division.
Uber Eats is a food delivery service that lets you order meals from local restaurants through a mobile app or website. A driver picks up the food from the restaurant and delivers it to your location. You can track your order in real time and pay through the app. It’s like having a personal food courier!
The company’s strong financial performance underscores its growth momentum, as its latest earnings report revealed a staggering net income of $9.8 billion—an enormous leap from the $1.89 billion reported the previous year. This impressive financial turnaround highlights Uber’s resilience and ability to capitalize on market trends. Despite an initial post-earnings dip, the stock quickly rebounded, reflecting investor confidence. Unfortunately, We missed the perfect buying opportunity in December due to lack of available funds, but Uber remains on my watchlist as a strong contender for future investment.
Super Bowl Ad, Possible renaissance for Nike?
Nike, one of the most iconic companies in the sports industry and listed on the New York Stock Exchange, recently participated in the 2025 Super Bowl with an impressive promotional video, which you can find on the brand’s official YouTube channel. However, behind the prestige of the brand, Nike’s stock has been struggling, experiencing a significant decline over the past few years: down 28% in 2022, another 8% in 2023, 28% again in 2024, and 3% so far in 2025. Analysts remain pessimistic as the company’s financial performance has weakened, with shrinking margins and a lack of strong growth. While Nike continues its share buyback program, which is generally positive for investors, the company needs internal changes to regain its former strength. At the moment, despite the stock trading at low levels, the downward momentum makes it a risky investment. It might have long-term potential, but for now, waiting for a clear shift in the company’s strategy seems to be the wiser approach.
