Dick's Sporting Goods Drops After Soft Q2 and Lowered Guidance

Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS) shares plunged after reporting weaker-than-expected second-quarter results and cutting its full-year sales and profit outlook. The company posted Q2 revenue of $5.59 billion and adjusted EPS of $3.53, missing estimates of about $5.64–$5.65 billion in sales and $3.76–$3.78 in EPS. Foot Locker weakness weighed on the print, and Dick's lowered full-year revenue guidance to $21.9–$22.2 billion with adjusted EPS around $11.50. Management signaled more cautious promotions in athletic footwear and apparel amid softer consumer demand, and the stock is down roughly 35% year-to-date.
