Movement Alert|Dick's Sporting Goods Falls 5.06% in Regular Trading, Continued Pressure After Q2 Earnings Miss and Guidance Cut

Market Focus
Sep 09

On September 9, Dick's Sporting Goods fell 5.06% in regular trading, trading at $132.145 per share with turnover of $385 million. The stock has been under sustained selling pressure since reporting fiscal Q2 results on August 25.

The company posted adjusted EPS of $3.53, missing the consensus estimate of $3.77, while revenue of $5.59 billion fell short of the $5.65 billion expected. Core comparable sales grew 4.9%, partly boosted by World Cup-driven demand, but the recently acquired Foot Locker business saw same-store sales decline 3.6% amid intense athletic footwear competition and heightened promotional activity. Management slashed full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $11-$12, far below the prior Street consensus of $14.28.

Multiple Wall Street firms responded with significant target price cuts. UBS lowered its target to $178 from $275, Oppenheimer to $150 from $270, Telsey Advisory Group to $145 from $255 while downgrading to Market Perform, and Barclays to $150. UBS attributed the reset primarily to excess legacy footwear inventory, increased promotions, and projected Foot Locker international losses, though noted the margin pressure may prove temporary.
