DKS’ results are expected to register notable sales growth year over year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $3.4 billion, indicating growth of 6.4% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
The company’s results are anticipated to reflect solid bottom-line growth. The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at $3.72 per share, which indicates an increase of 31.9% from the year-ago number. The consensus mark has moved up a penny in the past seven days.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 12.2%. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 4.7%, on average.
Factors to Note About DKS’ Upcoming Release
DICK’S Sporting’s quarterly performance is likely to have benefited from strength in its business and solid execution of its strategic efforts. The company’s robust strategies, including merchandising initiatives and store-related efforts, are likely to have been encouraging. In fact, healthy transaction growth and higher average tickets have been contributing to a solid comparable store sales (comps) performance for a while now. We expect comps to rise 5.7%.
These factors, along with strong demand for its key product categories, driven by differentiated assortments across footwear, athletic apparel and team sports, are likely to have bolstered its top-line performance.
However, escalating operating costs amid a high inflationary environment have been concerning. The company has also been witnessing higher selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, due to the higher wage rate and increased investments in talent and technology as well as investments in marketing. These headwinds, coupled with a tough macroeconomic landscape including the volatile consumer behavior, are likely to have acted as deterrents. Our model expects adjusted SG&A expenses to rise 3.5%.
