Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc

DICK'S Sporting Goods shares plunged 31% after the company reported second-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings that missed expectations and cut its full-year outlook. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $3.53, below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.78, while revenues of $5.59 billion fell short of the $5.63 billion estimate but rose 53.2% year over year, boosted by the Foot Locker acquisition. The company lowered its fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $11.00-$12.00 from $13.50-$14.50 and reduced its net sales forecast to $21.9-$22.2 billion from $22.1-$22.4 billion, citing a more promotional athletic footwear and apparel market. The Foot Locker Business, which generated $1.74 billion in revenue, saw pro forma comparable sales decline 3.6% due to weaker demand for legacy footwear silhouettes and fewer product launches. Adjusted gross margin fell 300 basis points to 34.1% of sales, reflecting the Foot Locker mix, promotional activity, and higher costs. The company ended the quarter with $914 million in cash and inventories of $5.6 billion, and it continues to expand its House of Sport and Field House locations.

Dick's Sporting Goods' stock crash reveals a major problem for struggling Nike, as the retailer's weak earnings and outlook suggest Nike's turnaround under CEO Elliott Hill may be delayed. Dick's executive chairman Ed Stack cited a "footwear hangover" from legacy silhouettes, with new styles from Nike, Adidas, On, and HOKA driving a reset. Dick's second-quarter adjusted EPS of $3.53 missed estimates of $3.76, and the company cut its full-year EPS outlook to $10.94-$11.94 from $13.27-$14.27, sending shares down 30.7% on Tuesday. Nike's own fiscal fourth-quarter revenue fell 1% to $11 billion, with a projected low-to-mid single-digit decline in the first quarter, and its stock has dropped 38% this year. Jefferies analyst Jonathan Matuszewski noted a "domino effect of pricing pressure" from Nike's markdowns, while Evercore ISI's Michael Binetti sees no reason to expand Nike's P/E ratio from 22 times FY27 consensus EPS.

Shares of athletic footwear and apparel makers fell after Dick's Sporting Goods reported weaker-than-expected quarterly earnings and cut its full-year profit outlook, citing rising inventory levels and heavy promotional discounting across the sector. Figs fell 3.8%, Funko fell 3.7%, Caleres fell 3.6%, Nike fell 2.6%, and Genesco fell 3.4%. Retail executives noted that excess inventory in athletic shoes and clothing has led to an increasingly promotional environment, as consumers hesitate to make discretionary purchases without substantial discounts. Footwear product launches also underperformed expectations during the quarter. The retail update has intensified investor worries about persistent headwinds in consumer discretionary spending.
