DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
DICK’S Sporting has been gaining from strength in its core strategies. Also, compelling assortment and its structural transformation bode well. It has been benefitting from the favorable shift in consumer behavior to a healthy lifestyle.
DKS has also been on track with its store initiatives. Its earlier launched DICK'S House of Sport, Golf Galaxy Performance Center, Public Lands, and Going, Going, Gone! have been performing well. The two Golf Galaxy performance centers, featuring TrackMan and BioMech golf technologies, are likely to have acted as upsides. Progress on its store remodeling efforts is also expected to have aided its performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
In its last earnings report, management raised its fiscal 2022 view. For fiscal 2022, the company expected comps to be negative 1.5-3% compared with the earlier mentioned negative 6% to negative 2%. The view is also in sync with our comp estimate of negative 2.2%. The company envisioned adjusted earnings of $11.50-$12.10 per share versus the prior mentioned $10.00-$12.00. This view is in sync with our estimate of $11.79. It anticipated GAAP earnings per share of $10.5-$11.1, in sync with our estimate of 10.59. The view also compared favorably with the $8.85-$10.55 mentioned earlier.
However, the company has been reeling under high promotional activity to support its growth strategies. Also, continued investment in hourly wage rates and talent to support its growth strategies are expected to have been concerning. These downsides are likely to have dented the fiscal fourth-quarter bottom line.
