About the Lawsuit

DICK'S Sporting Goods and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.

On August 25, 2026, before market hours, the Company disclosed disappointing financial results for the second quarter of 2026, including adjusted earnings per share of $3.53, below analysts' estimates of $3.76, and revenue of $1.73 billion from its Foot Locker business, below analysts' estimates of $1.81 billion. The Company also reduced its full-year 2026 consolidated net sales guidance and disclosed that it now expected Foot Locker's proforma comparable sales to range from negative 2.0% to 0.0% for the year — down from its prior forecast of 1.5% to 3% growth. In the related press release, Executive Chairman of the Board Edward W. Stack stated that conditions across portions of the athletic footwear and apparel marketplace had become "increasingly promotional," and attributed the more significant impact at Foot Locker to its "greater exposure to legacy footwear silhouettes" and its greater dependence on launch and retro product.

On this news, the price of DICK'S Sporting Goods shares fell $55.02, or approximately 30%, to close at $124.31 on August 25, 2026, on unusually heavy trading volume.

The case is Plumbers & Pipefitters Local Union #295 Pension Fund v. DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc., et al., No. 2:26-cv-01860.

Securities Lawsuit - Contact Levi & Korsinsky Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors in DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc.

Check if you might be eligible to recover your investment losses. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (212) 363-7500.

DKS shares fell $55.02, or approximately 30%, to close at $124.31 on August 25, 2026. Foot Locker generated revenue of $1.73 billion against analyst estimates of $1.81 billion, and adjusted earnings came in at $3.53 per share versus the $3.76 consensus. The deadline to apply for lead plaintiff appointment is November 3, 2026.

Initial Analyst Optimism

On the August 25, 2026 earnings call, a Morgan Stanley analyst pressed management on what had changed, noting that just "90 days ago" the Company was "raising guidance and speaking very optimistically about both Dick's and Foot Locker."

Analyst Coverage Timeline

March 12, 2026: A Barclays analyst asked whether Foot Locker's inventory required "more work to do," and management responded that the cleanup work was behind the Company.April 8, 2026: At the J.P. Morgan Retail Round Up Forum, questioning focused on whether margins would rebound "now that the garage is cleaned out."May 27, 2026: A Truist analyst asked how the promotional environment was affecting both banners, roughly three months before guidance was reduced.August 25, 2026: Baird lowered its price target and said the disclosures reduced its "conviction materially," calling the guidance reduction a surprise given "management's bullish tone relatively recently."August 25, 2026: Baird added that the "miss and guide-down magnitude surprised us," leaving investors to debate Foot Locker's "reset timeline" and management "credibility."August 25, 2026: Barclays lowered its estimates and price target, describing the market reaction as a "significant reset of investor expectations for the athletic footwear ecosystem."Why Analyst Shifts Matter for DKS Investors

The same disclosure that prompted the downgrades also cut Foot Locker's proforma comparable sales outlook to negative 2.0% to 0.0% from a prior forecast of 1.5% to 3% growth. Analysts noted the reversal came without prior warning from management.

"When analyst expectations are built on incomplete or misleading company disclosures, the resulting corrections can cause significant investor harm. Here, the complaint alleges that DICK'S represented that Foot Locker's inventory and promotional problems had been resolved while the business allegedly remained dependent on stagnant legacy footwear silhouettes." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

Frequently Asked Questions About the DKS Lawsuit

Q: How much did DKS stock drop? A: Shares fell approximately 30%, a decline of $55.02 per share, after the Company disclosed disappointing second-quarter 2026 results, including $1.73 billion in Foot Locker revenue against $1.81 billion in analyst estimates, reduced full-year sales guidance, and a cut to Foot Locker proforma comparable sales guidance to negative 2.0% to 0.0%.

Q: What specific misstatements does the DKS lawsuit allege? A: The complaint alleges DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. made materially false or misleading statements regarding the Foot Locker acquisition, including assurances that Foot Locker's inventory and promotional challenges had been resolved while the business allegedly remained dependent on stagnant legacy footwear exposed to industry-wide promotional pressure. When the second-quarter results and guidance reduction were disclosed, the stock price declined sharply.

Q: When did DICK'S Sporting Goods allegedly mislead investors? A: The Class Period runs from September 8, 2025 to August 24, 2026. The complaint alleges that corrective disclosures revealed information that caused a significant stock decline.

Submit your information for a no-cost, no-obligation evaluation of your potential recovery. No immediate action is required to remain eligible as an absent class member.

Q: What does it cost me to participate? A: There is no upfront cost to submit your information and review whether you may be eligible to recover. Should you choose to participate in the securities class action, they are generally handled on a contingency basis, with any attorneys' fees and expenses subject to court approval.

Q: How long will the lawsuit take to resolve? A: Securities class actions typically take two to four years from initial filing to resolution. Timing depends on the court schedule, case developments, and whether the matter is dismissed, settled, or litigated further.

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shareholder rights law firm Robbins LLP reminds investors that a class action was filed on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE: DKS) common stock between September 8, 2025 and August 24, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Dick’s is the largest sporting goods retailer in the United States, offering sports equipment, footwear, and accessories, among other products.

The complaint alleges that defendants misled investors regarding Dick's growth and profitability in light of the integration of recently acquired Foot Locker.

Investors who suffered significant losses during the Class Period may be eligible to participate in the lawsuit and should contact Robbins LLP before the November 3, 2026, lead plaintiff deadline.

Listen to our podcast.

Why Was Dick's Sued?

According to the complaint, defendants misled investors regarding the Company’s acquisition of Foot Locker, touting the acquisition as a strategic opportunity to drive growth and profitability while assuring investors that Foot Locker’s longstanding inventory and promotional challenges had been resolved. In reality, those problems persisted, as Foot Locker remained heavily dependent on legacy footwear products that were exposed to intensifying promotional pressures across the athletic footwear industry. As a result, Dick’s was never positioned to deliver the sales growth and profitability from the Foot Locker acquisition that it had touted to investors.

Plaintiff alleges that during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that:

(1) Dick’s cleanup efforts concerning Foot Locker’s inventory were not complete, and, in fact, Foot Locker remained saddled with unproductive and stagnant legacy footwear;
(2) Foot Locker heavily relied on legacy footwear products that were particularly vulnerable to intensifying promotional pressures across the athletic footwear industry;
(3) in turn, Dick’s was significantly exposed to an industry-wide environment of excess inventory and resulting promotional activity;
(4) accordingly, Dick’s was unable to achieve the sales growth, margins, and profits it touted to investors; and
(5) as a result, defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

Why Did DKS Stock Drop?

Plaintiff alleges that on August 25, 2026, Dick’s reported disappointing second-quarter 2026 results, which included revenue of $1.73 billion from Foot Locker that fell well short of analysts’ estimates of $1.81 billion. Dick’s also reduced its net sales guidance for full-year 2026 and disclosed that it expected Foot Locker’s proforma comparable sales to yield a range of negative 2.0% to 0.0% for the year—down from Dick’s prior forecast of 1.5% to 3% growth.

In the related press release, Dick’s Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors Edward W. Stack revealed that the athletic footwear marketplace had become “increasingly promotional,” which significantly impacted the Foot Locker business because of its “greater exposure to legacy footwear” and “dependence on footwear launch and retro product.” On this news, the price of Dick’s common stock fell $55.02 per share, or approximately 30%, to a closing price $124.31 per share on August 25, 2026.

Who May Be Eligible to Participate in the Dick's Class Action?

The lawsuit seeks to represent investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. common stock between September 8, 2025 and August 24, 2026. Investors who suffered losses during that period may have legal rights under the federal securities laws.

What Is a Lead Plaintiff?

The lead plaintiff is a court-appointed investor who represents the interests of all class members throughout the litigation. Serving as lead plaintiff is not required to share in any potential recovery. Investors who do not seek appointment may remain absent class members if the case proceeds and later resolves successfully.

Shareholders who wish to lead the case should contact Robbins LLP before the November 3, 2026, lead plaintiff deadline.

Does It cost anything to participate?

No. Robbins LLP represents investors on a contingency fee basis.

DICK'S Case Details

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:

following Dick's acquisition of Foot Locker, the Foot Locker business was experiencing stagnant inventory; these inventory problems adversely affected the Company's ability to achieve its sales-growth and profitability targets; accordingly, the Company's business and financial prospects were materially weaker than Defendants represented; and as a result, Defendants' positive statements concerning the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.What's Next for DICK'S Investors?

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to review a copy of the Complaint, you can visit the firm's site: bgandg.com/cases/dicks-sporting-goods-inc-dks-class_action_lawsuit, or you may contact Peretz Bronstein, Esq. or his Client Relations Manager, Nathan Miller, of Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC at 917-590-0911.

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz reminds investors of the upcoming November 3, 2026 deadline to participate as a lead plaintiff in the securities fraud class action lawsuit filed on behalf of investors who acquired DICK's Sporting Goods, Inc. (“DICK's” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: DKS) securities between September 8, 2025 and August 24, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”). IF YOU ARE AN INVESTOR WHO LOST MONEY ON DICK'S SPORTING GOODS, INC. (DKS), CLICK HERE TO PART.

A securities class action traces a twelve-month sequence of DICK'S Sporting Goods statements about the Foot Locker integration, from the September 2025 deal close to the August 2026 guidance cut that preceded a $55.02 per-share decline.

, /PRNewswire/ -- SueWallSt notifies investors in DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE: DKS) that a class action has been filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased securities between September 8, 2025 and August 24, 2026. See if you could be eligible to recover. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (888) SueWallSt.

DKS shares closed at $124.31 on August 25, 2026, after falling $55.02 per share, approximately 30%, in a single session. Investors have until November 3, 2026 to seek lead plaintiff status.

Chronology of Material Events

Between the closing of the $2.5 billion Foot Locker transaction and the second-quarter 2026 earnings release, the filing states, defendants delivered a sequence of confident representations about the acquired chain's inventory position and margin trajectory.

Timeline of Alleged Disclosure Failures

September 8, 2025: The Company announced completion of the $2.5 billion Foot Locker acquisition and stated it was "now positioned to become a global leader in the sports retail industry at the intersection of sport and culture." November 25, 2025: On the third-quarter call, management described its first priority as clearing unproductive inventory and rightsizing underperforming stores, targeting an inflection point by back-to-school 2026. April 8, 2026: At a retail investor forum, management told analysts to expect margin rate expansion at Foot Locker as part of returning that business to profitability. May 27, 2026: Asked about promotional conditions on the first-quarter 2026 call, management said there was "nothing on the horizon that we're particularly concerned about." August 25, 2026: Second-quarter results showed Foot Locker revenue of $1.73 billion against estimates of $1.81 billion and adjusted EPS of $3.53 against estimates of $3.76. Full-year consolidated net sales guidance was cut to $21.9 billion to $22.2 billion from $22.1 billion to $22.4 billion, and Foot Locker proforma comparable sales guidance was cut to negative 2.0% to 0.0% from prior growth of 1.5% to 3%. The Ninety-Day Reversal

Roughly ninety days separated the May reassurance from the August guidance reduction, as set forth in the complaint. The Company reported that marketplace conditions had become "increasingly promotional" and that the impact was more significant at Foot Locker because of its greater exposure to legacy footwear silhouettes. Baird described the guidance reduction as a surprise given management's "bullish tone relatively recently."

"Timely disclosure of material developments is fundamental to fair and efficient markets. The compressed interval between the Company's reassurances in May 2026 and its guidance reduction in August raises questions for investors." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

Frequently Asked Questions About the DKS Lawsuit

Q: What specific misstatements does the DKS lawsuit allege? A: The complaint alleges DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. made materially false or misleading statements regarding the Foot Locker acquisition, including assurances that Foot Locker's inventory and promotional challenges had been resolved when the business allegedly remained dependent on stagnant legacy footwear, during the Class Period. When the Company reported second-quarter 2026 results showing Foot Locker revenue of $1.73 billion and cut full-year guidance, the stock price declined sharply.

Q: When did DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. allegedly mislead investors? A: The Class Period runs from September 8, 2025 to August 24, 2026. The complaint alleges that corrective disclosures revealed information that caused a significant stock decline.

Q: What court was the DKS class action filed in? A: The case was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, governed by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Q: What do DKS investors need to do right now? A: Investors may gather brokerage records showing purchase dates, share quantities, and prices paid. Submit your information for a no-cost, no-obligation evaluation of your potential recovery. No immediate action is required to remain eligible as an absent class member.

Q: What documents do I need to to submit my information? A: Brokerage statements or trade confirmations showing purchase dates, share quantities, prices paid, and any subsequent sale dates and prices.

Q: What if I already sold my DKS shares -- can I still recover losses? A: Yes. Eligibility is based on when you purchased, not whether you still hold the shares. Investors who bought during the Class Period and sold at a loss may still be eligible to participate.

Q: Do I need to go to court or give testimony? A: No. The overwhelming majority of class members never appear in court or give depositions. If there is a settlement or recovery, eligible class members generally submit a claim form to seek their portion.

Q: How long will the lawsuit take to resolve? A: Securities class actions typically take two to four years from initial filing to resolution. Timing depends on the court schedule, case developments, and whether the matter is dismissed, settled, or litigated further.

NEW YORK, Sept. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against DICK’s Sporting Goods, Inc. (“Dick’s Sporting Goods” or the “Company”) (NYSE: DKS) on behalf of investors that purchased or otherwise acquired Dick’s Sporting Goods common stock between September 8, 2025 and August 24, 2026 (the “Class Period”).

If you are an investor in Dick’s Sporting Goods and have suffered losses, you may CLICK HERE to contact us. You may also contact Kaplan Fox by emailing [email protected] or by calling (646) 315-9003.

DEADLINE REMINDER: If you are a member of the proposed Class, you may move the court no later than November 3, 2026 to serve as a lead plaintiff for the purported class. If you have losses we encourage you to contact us to learn more about the lead plaintiff process. You need not seek to become a lead plaintiff in order to share in any possible recovery.

On September 8, 2025, the first day of the Class Period, Dick’s Sporting Goods announced the completion of its acquisition of Foot Locker, Inc. (“Foot Locker”) for approximately $2.5 billion in cash and stock.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants misled investors regarding the Company’s acquisition of Foot Locker, touting the acquisition as a strategic opportunity to drive growth and profitability while assuring investors that Foot Locker’s longstanding inventory and promotional challenges had been resolved. In reality, according to the complaint, those problems persisted, as Foot Locker remained heavily dependent on legacy footwear products that were exposed to intensifying promotional pressures across the athletic footwear industry.

The truth was allegedly revealed to investors before markets opened on August 25, 2026, when Dick’s Sporting Goods reported disappointing second-quarter 2026 results, which included revenue of $1.73 billion from Foot Locker that fell well short of analysts’ estimates of $1.81 billion. Dick’s Sporting Goods also reduced its net sales guidance for full-year 2026 and disclosed that it expected Foot Locker’s proforma comparable sales to yield a range of negative 2.0% to 0.0% for the year—down from Dick’s prior forecast of 1.5% to 3% growth.

On this news, the price of Dick’s Sporting Goods stock fell $55.02 per share, or 30.68%, to close at $124.31 per share on August 25, 2026.

NEW YORK, Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gainey McKenna & Egleston announces that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. (“Dick’s” or the “Company”) (NYSE: DKS) securities between September 8, 2025 and August 24, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

The Complaint alleges that Defendants misled investors regarding the Company’s acquisition of Foot Locker, touting the acquisition as a strategic opportunity to drive growth and profitability while assuring investors that Foot Locker’s longstanding inventory and promotional challenges had been resolved.

The Complaint alleges that as a result, Dick’s was never positioned to deliver the sales growth and profitability from the Foot Locker acquisition that it had touted to investors.

The Complaint further alleges that truth was revealed to investors before markets opened on August 25, 2026, when Dick’s reported disappointing second-quarter 2026 results, which included revenue of $1.73 billion from Foot Locker that fell well short of analysts’ estimates of $1.81 billion. The Complaint alleges that Dick’s also reduced its net sales guidance for full-year 2026 and disclosed that it expected Foot Locker’s proforma comparable sales to yield a range of negative 2.0% to 0.0% for the year—down from Dick’s prior forecast of 1.5% to 3% growth.

Today, I'm joined by longtime Fool contributors Rachel Warren and Matt Frankel. Guys, the earnings season has been winding down a little bit. I'm looking for stories earlier today, though the news was looking a little thin, and then Dick’s Sporting Goods reported earnings. Based on the stock reaction, we had to talk about it. Shares of Dick’s Sporting Goods stock is down about 27% as we're taping right now after the company reported earnings and updated guidance. Now, like most investors, I would assume this means the news was bad, but we've seen a lot of companies post decent results this quarter, only see their shares take it on the chin in ensuing market reaction. Rachel, is that the case here? Give us a rundown of what happened and what were you guys' thoughts and reactions to what Dick’s Sporting Goods had to say here?

Rachel Warren: There was actually some concerning numbers that came in, and it's interesting to chat about. We don't spend a ton of time focusing on retail here on this show. Dick’s actually missed on both the top and bottom wines for the quarter. They had adjusted earnings per share come in at $3.53. Wall Street was looking for $3.76. Revenue dragged a bit, just under 6 billion. Wall Street was looking for a little bit more than that. A lot of this is going back to the Foot Locker business. Dick’s Sporting Goods acquired last year. That's the primary culprit behind this drag and it's interesting because you have the core Dick’s namesake stores. They posted a roughly 5% comparable sales increase. Foot Locker stores actually saw comps slide 3.6%, and you had management saying that they had fewer high profile shoe launches. It's an increasingly competitive discounted market that's actually forcing them to cut prices to protect their market share.

the other thing that's interesting here is this is also tied to the broader what's called the Nike ripple effect. We saw management essentially call out a lack of high-profile sneaker launches. They're pointing upstream to major partners who are, stuck in a creative lull, if you will. You got to bear in mind, Foot Locker has historically relied on these legacy silhouettes, retro launches. Dick’s is really feeling the pain first when consumer hype slows down. Another key number, total inventory, surged 63% year over year. Now, obviously, they're still absorbing the Foot Locker acquisition, but they're carrying a lot of inventory, probably looking for a lot of clearances and sales, and promotions which, great for consumers, not great for the business, not great for investors, and to top it all off, Dick’s slashed its full-year earnings guidance considerably. Really not a great readout for this business.

Matt Frankel: The numbers weren't great, but, you're right. To me, the sharp decline, it's almost as much as what management said. Not just the numbers. The CEO called out the increasingly promotional athletic footwear and apparel market, said that conditions deteriorated as the quarter progressed, which is something you really don't like hearing from management. Also said Foot Locker has a lot of exposure directly to the categories getting discounted the most. Just a couple of things to point out here. Dick’s stock was down 10% year to date going into this. Now it's really underperforming. It's clearly a cyclical problem in the footwear space. I mean, if you look at Nike, Under Armour, even Academy Sports, which is I would call their closest direct comparison and On Holdings, they're all underperforming too. Dick’s has a large buyback authorization, is one of the key things I read in the Earnings report, $3 billion. I'm curious to see if they accelerate their repurchases to send the market a signal here.

Tyler Crowe: One of my favorite things in these conference calls every once in a while is the management word salad that we get of trying to explain why all this happened. One of the best ones I think I saw in this conference call was they mentioned geopolitical troubles, which apparently is affecting shoe sales. Look, some things are believable, but I don't know if closure of the Strait of Hormuz is exactly affecting how many people are buying Nikes before and after the World Cup here. Maybe, but the thing that really pointed it stuck out to me and Rachel, you mentioned it here too, was Foot Locker specifically. This was an acquisition that Dick’s took I don't want to say took a flyer on, that would be a little too flippant, but this was slightly different than what they have normally been doing. Like you said, it's a little bit more fashion trend, very dependent on releases of signatures shoes and stuff like that. It's still I would call it indigestion of the acquisition. Was this acquisition a mistake in your guys' opinion or maybe is it a little too soon to call it that?

Matt Frankel: I'd say it's too soon to call it a mistake, but it's not too soon to say that it's definitely going poorly. Those aren't the same thing. Dick’s cut their full-year earnings guidance, as Rachel mentioned by 18%, and it's almost entirely because of Foot Locker. It's in a deteriorating environment. For the entire footwear industry, as I said, it's not just a Foot Locker problem. This was a turnaround acquisition. You can't judge that after just four quarters. The company's making the right moves. They closed 110 stores in Year 1 after the acquisition. They bought a cyclical turnaround play, and the cycle immediately went against them. It's too soon to tell if it's ultimately going to be a good move long term, but it's not going well.

Rachel Warren: That's definitely the case. To put some numbers to that as well, the slashing of their full-year guidance, they were originally looking for full-year earnings per share between $13.27 and 14.27. Now they're looking for 10.94 to $11.94 on the high end. Significant downgrade there. I agree with Matt. I don't necessarily think that we can see the final story from where we're at now. But it's interesting to see. I think that Dick’s acquired Foot Locker with the idea of tapping into that younger consumer demographic, looking to revitalize the core business. What's interesting as well, is Dick's has historically been a bit more of a retail darling that managed economic headwinds better than its peers, and I think what we're seeing today, it isn't a reaction to a single bad quarter. I think there seems to be this broader concern, maybe a realization that integrating this foot logger acquisition is going to be a much costlier, slower, and maybe more margin-degrading endeavor than initially promised.

I know we've talked a bit about the K-shaped consumer reality on the show before. It's something that's interesting to look at with this business. I don't want to read into the tea leaves too much, but you saw that Dick’s business grow 5%. We're seeing mid to high-end suburban consumers still walking in and buying that premium gear, but a lot of the younger demographic that traditionally we shop at Foot Locker is really getting tapped out by inflation, and I do think that we have to also look at that as a factor here.

Tyler Crowe: Well, I certainly a much more logical conclusion than saying that geopolitical concerns is keeping people from buying their premium athletic wear. I buy your case a little bit more than what management was saying there. Coming up after the break, it's still earning season, so we're going to dip into a couple of earnings that may have slipped through the crack this past quarter.

I was reading the Wall Street Journal this morning, and one of the, lead stories was on Crocs. I felt like that scene in Star Wars, where it's oh, that's a name I haven't heard in a very long time. I was actually interesting. They were talking taking the opposite approach of Dick’s Sporting Goods, where it's like, we're going to hold back some of our production and clear some inventory. We're going to take it down the chin now. But it's a strategy that worked out pretty well, and the stock is benefiting a lot from it. That hey, this is a company we haven't discussed in a while. It was an interesting story. I want to take that a little bit step further.

We're coming to the end of earning season here. We've got Nvidia tomorrow, which we're definitely going to cover, but there's certainly not as many coming to the fore right now. With this quarter coming to the close, I wanted to give you guys an opportunity to maybe highlight a company that may have fallen through the cracks when we were trying to cover stuff with earnings that we didn't get to, but you're like, I really liked or maybe you didn't like what you saw. Matt, I want to start with you. You said you wanted to talk about Walker & Dunlop demo.

Matt Frankel: I feel like I hear Crocs more than you do because that's all my son will wear. They're not yesterday's shoe by any means. But I wanted to call out Walker and Dunlop Eval. It's a stock I've owned in my portfolio for a while, and I feel like it didn't get enough attention or at least the right attention after its earnings report. The headline numbers were ugly and understandably, that's what the market fixated on. Earnings were down sharply year over year. The company had $23 million in charges tied to loan repurchases from a fraud investigation. There was a $21 million credit loss provision, but below the surface, there was a lot to like. You and I have repeated the same thing about not just Walker Dunlop, but a lot of these real estate companies; they just need the real estate market to turn around, and then everything’s going to be fine. We've repeated that line how many times, Tyler?

But their market share is growing. They're a leading originator of multifamily loans guaranteed by HUD, by Fannie, by all the government agencies. Their market share in that went from about 11% at the start of this year to over 14% now. That's the thing that sets itself up nicely for when the market recovers. It's not just, the rising tide lifts all ships. Companies that are growing their market share in the tough times are better set up to capture that rebound. The servicing portfolio, which is part of the business a lot of people overlook, not only it grew 6% year over year, it's predictable revenue. These are just loans they get a little fee every time someone pays their loan, but over 50% of that servicing portfolio, which is about $146 billion worth of loans. Over 50% matures within five years, that creates a built-in pipeline of refinancing where they actually make a lot of money from. The stock trades for less than ten times adjusted earnings right now. It trades there for a reason, but there's more to like in this earnings report than the market gave it credit for.

Tyler Crowe: We do agree when it's like for a lot of these, it's when the commercial real estate market comes back. But I think one thing we have gone back and forth about a lot is with Walker and Dunlop, specifically, it was late 2010, early 2020's. They went on a bit of a buying spree. Not necessarily in their wheelhouse, either, some ancillary and tangential businesses. When I hear things oh, well, they had to buy back some loans because of fraud and, increasing credit provisions, it started to make me go back to that. Maybe some of these acquisitions weren't as good as they had said, and that maybe there I don't want to say asleep at the wheel, but still not quite figured out how to integrate all of these into their company. Is that a fair assessment?

Matt Frankel: Not only did they go on a buying spree, like a lot of real estate companies did at that time, they overpaid for certain acquisitions. They weren't all bad. Their appraisal business, which is called Apprise, is actually a pretty solid business. I just think they overpaid for a lot of the parts. There was the real estate investment banking business that specialized in selling the tax credits that were going on at the time. They overpaid for a lot of this, and that's a big problem. It's not necessarily that the integrated businesses are no good. They went on an acquisition spree, and they paid a lot of money for some of these components.

Tyler Crowe: Like you said, we'll just have to see, maybe when the commercial real estate market turns around, some of these maybe not so great investments or acquisitions can fall into place, I guess, if it will. It seems like the theme is turnaround stories or maybe companies that aren't doing as hot because Rachel, the one you brought to the table here was CVS Healthcare.

Rachel Warren: I thought it'd be interesting to talk about a healthcare business and CVS, I think a lot of people obviously think of the neighborhood, store aisles, pharmacy counters, but CVS is actually one of the larger healthcare insurers in America through their Aetna division. They beat expectations this quarter. It was a particularly good quarter for the business after a series of difficult quarters, which we'll talk about in a bit. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $2.58 against Wall Street estimates of $1.87. Total revenue rose over 7% to about $106 billion, and management actually raised their full year profit guidance.

One of the dynamics that CVS Health is benefiting from right now is just broader trends in the healthcare space. We've seen a lot of major hospital chains note that consumers are putting off doctor visits. They're scheduling fewer elective surgeries due to tight household budgets, which is a really, really unfortunate trend. The flip side of that trend, of course, is when people skip surgeries; it lowers expenses for an insurance company because they're paying out fewer medical claims. For CVS and their Aetna network, fewer procedures means their medical cost decreased. Essentially, this trickled over to their healthcare benefits division. If you're looking at their report. They saw their operating income rise by more than $1 billion above what analysts had originally predicted all going back to these industry dynamics that I mentioned.

Tyler Crowe: A good quarter, and the thing is, CVS is going back to the integration of Walker and Dunlop. Here we have a retail pharmacy combining with a major insurer. It hasn't exactly been a perfect marriage here. The stock has reflected that over the past couple of years. Between the lowering of the earnings forecasts, it's closed hundreds of stores. The CEO has been a revolving door as of late; it hasn't been easy for this company. But having said that, the stock trades for 11 times forward earnings estimates. Clearly, the market is pricing this then as not doing great. You as the investor, are you buying this as a value stock now? It's like a turnaround in play here or are you still seeing this is still work in progress. I'm going to check back later stock.

Rachel Warren: This is what I'm watching from the sidelines, for sure. There's a few reasons for that. I mean, this is a company that's faced serious operational issues over the last few years. it's not just a matter of the difficulties of integrating the Aetna acquisition from a number of years ago. Of course, they're one of the largest pharmacy benefit managers in the U.S. They were dealing with costs from higher Medicare utilization rates that also ate into the growth story. Then 2024, 2025, they continuously were adjusting expectations downward. They had to cut earnings forecasts in multiple quarters because of rising insurance costs and a slow retail pharmacy market. There's been a lot of factors at play that have posed challenges for the business. Now, it did launch a $2 billion cost-cutting initiative. There were layoffs, management closed, underperforming stores. You've got a new CEO, David Joyner, you've got their CFO Brian Newman overhauled their insurance underwriting, really moved away from the unprofitable business lines, and they also put in stricter cost controls over their medical benefit ratio. I think we are starting to see the signs that their vertical integration strategy, which is, you've got the drug store side, the pharmacy benefit manager side, the insurance provider side. I think we're seeing the results starting to show say it's too soon to declare that the turnaround is complete. This is a long time dividend payer, but I think if you're looking for income stocks, there are probably other compelling opportunities to find.

Tyler Crowe: One of the things with turnaround stocks is the turnaround always takes way longer than anyone ever expected. Coming up after the break, we're going to jump into the mailbag.

We'll also put the email in the description for the show. As always, keep it short enough we can read on air, keep it Foolish, and we can't give personalized advice, so we don't get in trouble with the FTC. Today's question comes from Sterling Clark, and Matt, he actually named you personally, so we wanted to make sure that you were on the show when we did this. Question is, Hi, Fools. What does Matt Frankel think about UPS stock as a value stock or value trap? A little bit of a theme here today. He Sterling says he works at UPS, and you can see that they're working on remodeling their buildings in order to improve sorting efficiencies. It still has an attractive dividend yield, but the other hand, Amazon keeps indicating it wants to take UPS's lunch. Do you buy the turnaround story? Matt, we'll start with you, since it was directed at you and Rachel, if you have any thoughts, you can share them as well.

Matt Frankel: I'm not surprised that was directed to me. I love a good value. Stock, everybody knows that. But what the listener is referring to is what UPS calls its network reconfiguration program, and it is showing up in the numbers. UPS expects almost $3 billion of program benefits for this full year. Unfortunately, part of it's cutting about 30,000 jobs, operational positions, specifically as the network becomes both physically smaller and a lot more automated, which is what he was referring to there. I'm not terribly worried about the Amazon part. UPS, they've already removed a ton of what they call low-quality Amazon volume. That's not where they make their — you don't make your money by free two-day shipping. You make your money from the medical equipment and more specialized forms of moving things from one place to another.

The way I would put it is Amazon didn't really steal UPS's lunch. UPS just gave back the part that it didn't really want to eat. In first quarter, UPS raised its guidance. They posted double-digit growth in operating profit. Their dividend yield is 6.4%, which might sound attractive. It represents about 98% of the company's free cash flow. That's a pretty high payout ratio. They've they haven't raised their dividend every year, but they haven't cut it for 27 consecutive years. That's a pretty big history they want to maintain. They're going to need some serious free cash flow growth over the next few years to justify keeping it where it is. I wouldn't go so far as to call this a dividend trap. There are plenty of dividend traps in the market, and I wouldn't say this is one of them. If they can grow their premium shipping volume, meaning the non-Amazon parts of the business, while making the network more efficient, which they're clearly doing. It could end up being a great value here, but that's a big if, and that's why it's trading where it is right now.

Tyler Crowe: Slightly related. There was a story on CNBC today about UPS investing heavily in things like pharmaceutical and cold chain logistics, a little bit related to shipping GLP-1 drugs and stuff like that. I assume that's going to be part of that, as well, Rachel? Don't you think?

Rachel Warren: That's absolutely the case. One of the things that UPS has really focused on. This is adding billions to their growth every quarter is specialized shipments like weight loss and diabetes medications, and these are high-value drugs. They require very precise temperature-controlled refrigeration, premium tracking sensors from factory to pharmacy. By routing these high-margin medical packages through their newly automated facilities, UPS can generate significantly more profit per box. That building remodel isn't just a cosmetic upgrade. They’re really shifting away from old-school manual sorting, automated hubs. This is obviously something that they've been doing for a while. But running an automated sorting building, it's about 30% cheaper per package than a traditional one.

The healthcare logistics piece is a really, really interesting one within that broader shift. But upgrading these facilities takes a lot of cash. They've committed billions more to expand just their global healthcare shipping network over the next few years. They pay over $5 billion a year out in dividends. I don't think that UPS is a value trap. I think it's another one of the turnaround stories we've been talking about today. There's a lot of moving parts. On the one hand, the network is getting smaller. It's getting leaner, it's getting more efficient. But the automation side only saves you money if if these buildings are actually full of packages. If the broader economy slows down, retail shipping drop these very expensive equipment sorting machines might sit idle. Strategy makes sense, but I think there's a bit of a trade-off that's happening right now. That said, I think the fact that they are leaning more into these higher margin business lines, specifically healthcare logistics, which just broadly speaking, tends to be more resilient, even in difficult economic periods, I think that's a very smart strategy for the long run.

Tyler Crowe: The path is there. It just seems like getting there completely unscathed without having to cut its dividend or, any other financial shenanigans along the way is going to be the real challenge here for UPS. Maybe not the smoothest pass.

Robbins LLP Reminds Investors of Class Action Against Dick's Sporting Goods After 30% Stock Slide PR Newswire

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 7, 2026

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."

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than November 3, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Dick’s cleanup efforts concerning Foot Locker’s inventory were not complete, and, in fact, Foot Locker remained saddled with unproductive and stagnant legacy footwear; (2) Foot Locker heavily relied on legacy footwear products that were particularly vulnerable to intensifying promotional pressures across the athletic footwear industry; (3) in turn, Dick’s was significantly exposed to an industry-wide environment of excess inventory and resulting promotional activity; (4) accordingly, Dick’s was unable to achieve the sales growth, margins, and profits it touted to investors; and (5) as a result of the above, defendants’ positive statements about Dick's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

What this transaction means for investorsShareholders of Dick's Sportings Goods have had a rough go of it over thus far in 2026, with the stock price dropping nearly 30%. In comparison, the S&P 500 is up 12.7% over the same period. The struggles faced by the retailer were highlighted in its recent 2026 second-quarter earnings report. In that report, Dick's Sporting Goods reported that Foot Locker, which it acquired in September 2025, saw comparable sales decline by 3.6%. The Foot Locker business, which some were skeptical Dick's Sporting Goods could turn around, appears to be weighing on the overall business, as Dick's Sporting Goods lowered its overall net sales outlook for 2026.

Given the stock's negative price performance and the negative sentiment around the stock, Colombo's purchase is likely welcome news for shareholders. There are plenty of reasons to sell a stock, but typically, an insider buys shares only because they believe the stock price will eventually rise. Purchasing 913 shares indirectly is still a relatively small stake compared to Colombo's overall holdings, but it is at least a signal of confidence. And the bigger picture is that the insider's total holdings are valued at $24.2 million, indicating continued alignment with the company's future success.
