Na společnost Dick's Sporting Goods byla podána hromadná žaloba po zklamání z výsledků a snížení celoročního výhledu po integraci Foot Locker. Akcie po oznámení spadly o 55,02 USD na akcii, tedy zhruba o 30 %.
Robbins LLP is investigating allegations that defendants misled investors regarding Dick's growth and profitability in light of the integration of recently acquired Foot Locker.
, /PRNewswire/ -- Robbins LLP notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE: DKS) on behalf of shareholders who purchased common stock between September 8, 2025, and August 24, 2026. The legal action follows a sharp decline in the company's market value after disappointing financial results linked to its acquisition of Foot Locker. Investors who suffered losses during the class period can get more information Robbins LLP.
On August 25, 2026, Dick's reported second-quarter revenue from Foot Locker of $1.73 billion, missing analyst estimates of $1.81 billion. The company simultaneously lowered its full-year 2026 net sales guidance and disclosed that it expected Foot Locker's proforma comparable sales to decline by as much as 2.0%—a significant reversal from the previously forecasted growth of 1.5% to 3%.
Following these disclosures, the price of Dick's common stock fell $55.02 per share, a decline of approximately 30%, to close at $124.31 per share on August 25, 2026.
Allegations of Misleading Disclosures
The complaint alleges that Dick's Sporting Goods misled investors by touting the Foot Locker acquisition as a strategic growth driver while omitting critical information about inventory challenges. Specifically, the lawsuit claims the company failed to disclose that efforts to clean up Foot Locker's inventory were incomplete and that the business remained heavily dependent on legacy footwear products vulnerable to intensifying promotional pressures.
Executive Chairman Edward W. Stack later revealed the athletic footwear marketplace had become "increasingly promotional," which significantly impacted the Foot Locker business due to its "greater exposure to legacy footwear."

While serving as a lead plaintiff is not required to participate in any potential recovery, it allows shareholders to direct the litigation.

What is this all about?
Block & Leviton is investigating whether Dick's Sporting Goods and certain of its executives made misleading statements or failed to disclose material information to investors regarding its recently acquired Foot Locker business.

On the news, Dick's shares fell roughly 24%. The investigation concerns whether the problems weighing on Foot Locker were already apparent to management when it made its earlier optimistic statements.

DICK'S Sporting Goods snížil výhled zisku na fiskální rok 2026 na 11–12 USD na akcii po slabším druhém čtvrtletí. Foot Locker dál tlačí na výsledky: tržby v prodejnách klesly o 3,6 %.
Key Takeaways DICK'S cut fiscal 2026 EPS guidance to $11-$12 after second-quarter earnings missed estimates.Foot Locker's 3.6% comparable sales decline reflects weaker footwear trends and softer launch performance.DICK'S posted 4.9% comparable sales growth as higher tickets and transactions lifted core results. DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. (DKS - Free Report) lowered its fiscal 2026 profit outlook after a softer-than-expected second quarter. Adjusted earnings of $3.53 per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.78, while revenues of $5.59 billion trailed the consensus mark of $5.63 billion.
The DICK'S Business still delivered 4.9% comparable sales growth, but pro forma comparable sales for the Foot Locker Business fell 3.6%. Rising promotions in athletic footwear and apparel, weaker Foot Locker product trends and higher costs drove a more cautious full-year view.
For fiscal 2026, DKS now expects adjusted earnings of $11.00-$12.00 per share, down from the prior $13.50-$14.50 range. Consolidated net sales are projected at $21.9-$22.2 billion compared with the earlier $22.1-$22.4 billion outlook.

Foot Locker remains the largest pressure point. The business generated $1.74 billion in second-quarter revenues, but demand was hurt by weaker legacy footwear silhouettes, fewer product launches and softer consumer response to launches. DKS now expects Foot Locker to post an operating loss of $40-$80 million for fiscal 2026, reversing its prior expectation for $110-$150 million in operating profit. Its comparable sales outlook was reduced to a decline of 2% to flat.
Margin pressure is broadening beyond the acquired business. Consolidated adjusted gross profit was $1.9 billion, or 34.1% of sales, down 300 basis points year over year. Promotional activity, higher fuel and supply-chain costs and the Foot Locker mix weighed on profitability. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses rose 65% to $1.4 billion, including $477 million tied to Foot Locker, while DICK'S also invested in World Cup marketing, digital initiatives and in-store experiences.
The category backdrop remains uneven across major athletic brands. NIKE, Inc. (NKE - Free Report) reported fiscal fourth-quarter 2026 wholesale revenues up 4% year over year, while NIKE Direct revenues fell 7%. Under Armour, Inc. (UAA - Free Report) recently updated its fiscal 2027 revenue expectations amid what management described as a challenging consumer demand environment, while maintaining its full-year profitability outlook. Those mixed signals reinforce the importance of product freshness, channel discipline and full-price demand across the athletic marketplace.
The core DICK'S Business provides an offset. Its second-quarter comparable sales growth reflected higher average ticket, more transactions and broad-based gains across footwear, apparel and hardlines. Management also cited strong FIFA World Cup results and market-share gains. DKS continues to expand House of Sport and Field House locations and is investing in GameChanger and its loyalty ecosystem, even as those initiatives add near-term expense.
The bottom line is a split operating picture. The DICK'S Business is still producing positive comparable sales, but Foot Locker weakness and a more promotional market are taking a larger toll on earnings than management previously expected. DKS shares have lost 33.2% in the past six months compared with a 20.5% decline for its industry.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).
You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
DKS has a VGM Score of B and a Value Score of B, alongside a Growth Score of C and a Momentum Score of D. The stronger value-oriented readings do not override the Zacks Rank because the Style Scores are designed to complement the Rank. The current combination points to a weaker near-term setup despite some favorable valuation characteristics, keeping estimate trends and Foot Locker execution central to the stock's outlook.

Weak earnings and reduction to guidance On Aug. 25, Dick's reported earnings for the three months ended in July. It missed both revenue and earnings per share (EPS) estimates. It had $5.59 billion in revenue compared to estimates of $5.65 billion.
More importantly, full-year EPS guidance was slashed to $10.94-$11.94, significantly below Wall Street analysts' $14.20 estimate. It is this huge disappointment that likely has the stock collapsing this week, along with management warnings that the apparel and footwear market is in a highly promotional environment.
The main culprit for Dick's is its recent acquisition of Foot Locker, which generated negative operating earnings in the quarter, leading to a decline in consolidated earnings.
Dick's own business grew Q2 comps by 4.9% on the back of the FIFA World Cup and higher average tickets. At the same time, Foot Locker comps fell 3.6% and are now guided to a full-year loss of $40 million to $80 million.
Management sees long-term value in the Foot Locker business, but the price-sensitive mood of the athletic footwear market makes 2026 a challenging year.
Oops, one more stroke. Image source: Getty Images.
Time to buy the dip? After this fall, Dick's trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of just 12, which is well below the S&P 500 index average. It is tough to value this stock with Foot Locker dragging it down, but if you believe the company can continue to dominate the sports equipment and apparel market, now could be a good time to pick up some shares on the cheap.

DICK’S Sporting očekává za fiskální 2. čtvrtletí tržby 5,6 miliardy USD, což by znamenalo meziroční růst o 54,6 %. Zisk na akcii má ale podle odhadu klesnout o 13,2 % na 3,80 USD.
Key Takeaways DKS is expected to post 54.6% revenue growth, supported by strong comps and transaction gains.House of Sport, Field House and Foot Locker initiatives aim to boost traffic, sales and brand partnerships.Tariffs, sourcing costs and higher SG&A could pressure margins despite continued strategic investments. As DICK’S Sporting Goods Inc. (DKS - Free Report) prepares to announce its second-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings on Aug. 25, 2026, investors are closely watching for insights into its performance this season.
DKS is expected to register a year-over-year sales increase in the quarter under review. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal second-quarter revenues is pegged at $5.6 billion, indicating a surge of 54.6% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
However, the consensus estimate for fiscal second-quarter earnings is pegged at $3.80 per share, which suggests a dip of 13.2% from the year-ago reported number. The consensus mark has been stable in the past 30 days.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 0.3%. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 0.9%, on average.
Factors to Note About DKS’ Upcoming ReleaseDICK’S Sporting’s quarterly results are likely to reflect gains from solid strategic efforts, brand strength and market share gains. Also, strong comparable sales (comps) and healthy transaction growth are expected to have acted as tailwinds. The company has also been enhancing service levels through its digital and store experiences to cater well to the athletes’ needs.
The company continues to expand its House of Sport and Field House concepts, which are helping drive stronger customer engagement, sales and brand partnerships. DKS is also increasing marketing investments, which could support traffic and comps. Another key focus is strengthening merchandise through differentiated products, greater innovation and deeper relationships with major national and emerging brands.
The company is also expanding its higher-margin vertical brands, which could support gross-margin improvement. Investments in digital capabilities, including its website, app and DICK’S AI-powered digital agent, are aimed at improving the omnichannel customer experience. Meanwhile, GameChanger and the DICK’S Media Network continue to provide additional engagement and revenue opportunities. The Foot Locker turnaround is another important strategic driver. DICK’S is expanding the Fast Break store-remodel program, improving merchandise presentation, restoring apparel offerings and strengthening inventory availability. All these factors are likely to drive DKS’ top-line results in the quarter under review.
However, DICK’S Sporting continues to face a challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop, which could weigh on its profitability. The operating environment remains dynamic, with ongoing uncertainty related to tariffs, global trade and broader consumer spending trends. Tariff-related inflation and sourcing costs may also pressure margins if promotional activity intensifies or consumer demand softens. In addition, elevated selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs remain concerning. Our model expects adjusted SG&A to increase 63.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Such factors are likely to have hurt the company’s profitability in the to-be-reported quarter.
What the Zacks Model Unveils for DKSOur proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for DICK'S this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. However, that’s not the case here.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings per share of $1.11 suggests an increase of 44.2% from the year-ago fiscal quarter’s reported number. The consensus estimate for quarterly revenues is pegged at $4.9 billion, suggesting growth of 6.3% from the prior-year fiscal quarter’s reported figure. DLTR has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 32.1%, on average.
Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (WSM - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +3.05% and a Zacks Rank of 3. WSM is likely to register a top and bottom-line increase when it reports second-quarter fiscal 2026 numbers.

DICK'S Sporting Goods rozšiřuje koncept House of Sport jako škálovatelný růstový formát a letos plánuje otevřít 14 těchto prodejen a 22 poboček Field House. Koncept dál zvyšuje srovnatelné tržby, ziskovost i návratnost investic.
Key Takeaways DICK'S House of Sport is evolving into a scalable platform for long-term, experience-led growth.DICK'S plans to open 14 House of Sport and 22 Field House locations this year.House of Sport stores are driving comps, profitability, ROI and stronger landlord relationships. DICK'S Sporting Goods Inc. (DKS - Free Report) appears to be entering a new phase of growth as its House of Sport concept evolves from an innovative retail format into a scalable long-term growth platform. What began as an effort to create immersive shopping destinations is increasingly becoming a strategic advantage that is reshaping customer engagement, attracting premium brand partnerships and strengthening the company's real estate portfolio.
Management highlighted House of Sport as a central pillar of its growth strategy, alongside the smaller Field House format, with plans to open 14 House of Sport and 22 Field House locations this year. Strong landlord demand is also giving DICK'S access to premier retail destinations, allowing the company to be more selective about future locations while positioning the business for greater long-term shareholder value.
Importantly, the concept is proving financially attractive. Management noted that House of Sport stores continue to generate comparable sales growth even in their third and fourth years of operation, while delivering strong profitability and returns on investment. Beyond the direct financial contribution, the stores encourage athletes to spend more time and money, create a compelling stage for premium and emerging brands such as Vuori and Gymshark, and strengthen relationships with landlords through increased traffic to shopping centers.
The benefits are also extending beyond the flagship locations.
