DICK'S Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS) reported second quarter 2026 consolidated net sales of $5.59 billion, up 53.2% year over year, reflecting inclusion of the acquired Foot Locker business. GAAP earnings per diluted share were $3.50 versus $4.71 a year ago; non-GAAP EPS was $3.53 versus $4.38, with current results diluted by 9.6 million shares issued for the Foot Locker acquisition.

The DICK'S Business delivered 4.9% comparable sales growth, while proforma comparable sales for the Foot Locker Business declined 3.6%, contributing to a Foot Locker segment loss of $31.9 million. Consolidated operating margin fell to 7.9% from 12.4%. For full year 2026, the company now expects consolidated net sales of $21.9–$22.2 billion and GAAP EPS of $10.94–$11.94, and lowered operating income outlooks for both businesses while maintaining DICK'S comparable sales growth guidance of 2.5%–4.0% and projecting Foot Locker proforma comps between -2.0% and 0.0%.

News Explained

At August 1, the combined company reported its cash, inventory, and long-term debt and lease obligations.

The second-quarter report covers the combined company after the Foot Locker acquisition.

The acquired operations had become a substantial separately reported footprint: the Foot Locker Business had 2,478 stores as of August 1, 2026, following 27 openings and 110 closures during fiscal 2026.

The next defined measurement milestone is the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, when Foot Locker will enter quarterly comparable-sales calculations after its stores reach their 14th full month following the acquisition; until then, the company uses pro forma comparisons.

Key Terms

non-gaap, proforma comparable sales, operating margin, dilutive impact
4 terms
non-gaap financial
"non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $3.53"
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.
View in glossary
proforma comparable sales financial
"Proforma comps for the Foot Locker Business declined 3.6%"
Proforma comparable sales are an adjusted measure of revenue that estimates what same-location or same-operations sales would have been after accounting for changes such as new or closed stores, acquisitions, currency shifts, or calendar differences. Investors use it to see the underlying sales trend without one-time or structural changes—like comparing the performance of a shop on a consistent basis as if its footprint and timing had stayed the same.
operating margin financial
"Also referred to by management as operating margin"
Operating margin shows how much profit a company makes from its core business activities after paying for costs like wages and materials. It’s useful because it tells you how efficiently a company is running—higher margins mean it keeps more money from each dollar of sales, which can indicate better management or stronger products.
View in glossary
dilutive impact financial
"include the dilutive impact of the 9.6 million shares issued"
Dilutive impact is the reduction in existing shareholders' ownership percentage and per-share metrics—like earnings per share—caused when a company issues additional shares or converts securities (for example, options, warrants, convertibles). Think of a pie where adding more slices makes each existing slice smaller; for investors the same revenue or profit spread over more shares can lower per-share value and change how financial performance and valuation are measured.

– Delivers 4.9% Comp Sales Growth for the DICK'S Business (A)

– 2026 Outlook Revised Due to Challenging Athletic Footwear and Apparel Marketplace

  • Reported earnings per diluted share of $3.50 and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $3.53 (B) compared to earnings per diluted share of $4.71 and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $4.38 in the prior year quarter; Current year results include the dilutive impact of the 9.6 million shares issued in connection with the Foot Locker acquisition

  • DICK'S Business delivered 4.9% comp sales growth, driven by broad-based growth across categories, including strong results from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and growth in average ticket and transactions

  • Proforma comps for the Foot Locker Business (C) declined 3.6%, impacted by challenging conditions in the athletic footwear marketplace

  • Revises full year 2026 outlook

    • Maintains DICK'S Business comparable sales outlook of 2.5% to 4.0% growth
    • Lowers Foot Locker Business proforma comparable sales outlook to a range of negative 2.0% to 0.0%
    • Lowers operating income outlook for both DICK'S and Foot Locker Businesses

"The DICK'S Business delivered a strong second quarter with broad-based growth across categories. As the quarter progressed, conditions across portions of the athletic footwear and apparel marketplace became increasingly promotional, and we took action to remain competitively priced to protect and grow our leadership position. This environment had a more significant impact on the Foot Locker Business given its greater exposure to legacy footwear silhouettes and greater dependence on footwear launch and retro product. Not only were there fewer launches in the second quarter, but those launches performed below both industry and our expectations. As a result, we are taking a more cautious view of the balance of the year. While these near-term dynamics have led us to revise our expectations for 2026, our confidence in the long-term opportunities ahead for both DICK'S and Foot Locker remains unchanged."

Ed Stack, Executive Chairman


"We're proud of our second quarter performance in the DICK'S Business, where we delivered comp sales growth of 4.9% and gained market share despite growing pressure across portions of the athletic footwear and apparel marketplace. Our Q2 results reflect the strength of our athlete-focused strategy, broad differentiated assortment, strong brand partnerships and continued focus on profitable growth opportunities such as House of Sport, GameChanger and DICK'S Media Network. We invested significantly around the FIFA World Cup, and our team delivered outstanding results. While we are taking a more cautious view of the balance of the year, we remain highly confident in the strength of the DICK'S Business and our long-term opportunity at Foot Locker."

Lauren Hobart, President and Chief Executive Officer

Quarterly Dividend

On August 24, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly dividend in the amount of $1.25 per share on the Company's common stock and Class B common stock. The dividend is payable in cash on September 25, 2026 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 11, 2026.

Acquisition of Foot Locker

On September 8, 2025, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Foot Locker, Inc. ("Foot Locker"), a leading footwear and apparel retailer, pursuant to the definitive merger agreement executed on May 15, 2025. Total consideration exchanged for the acquisition was $2.5 billion, which primarily consisted of $2.1 billion in share consideration for the issuance of 9.6 million shares of DICK'S Sporting Goods common stock, $223.0 million in cash consideration and $111.6 million from the Company's pre-existing equity ownership in Foot Locker. The Company's current period results reflect Foot Locker's operations for the entire 26-week period ended August 1, 2026.

As previously announced, the Company has initiated a review of unproductive assets, which includes optimizing inventory, closing underperforming stores, and right-sizing assets that do not align with our go-forward vision for the Foot Locker Business. The Company incurred $125.8 million of pre-tax charges during the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2026, totaling $515.8 million to date. We currently expect total pre-tax charges up to $750 million, including $200 million in fiscal 2026, with the remaining charges to be incurred over the medium term.

Tariff Refunds

As a result of a recent order by the United States Court of International Trade to refund all previously paid tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"), during the current quarter, we received $59.0 million in tariff refunds and $2.1 million in related interest income. The Company has applied a gain contingency model in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 450-30, "Gain Contingencies", to account for potential recoveries of costs previously incurred for IEEPA tariffs. Under this model, a gain contingency is not recognized in the financial statements until the gain is realized or realizable. The tariff refunds were recorded as a reduction to cost of goods sold and the related interest income was recorded within other (income) expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Of the total $59.0 million of IEEPA tariff refunds received during the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2026, $38.1 million is attributable to tariff costs incurred in the prior year and along with the $2.1 million of interest income, is excluded from non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2026. For additional information, see the section of this release titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations included in tables later in this release under the heading "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations." The Company has now received substantially all of the tariff refunds and does not have any material additional refund claims outstanding.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting the Company's financial results for the second quarter in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company also reports certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share and net capital expenditures. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with meaningful supplemental information to assist in evaluating the Company's ongoing operations and comparing results across reporting periods.

Management further believes that excluding non‑cash changes in the fair value of deferred compensation plan investments – which fluctuate with market performance and are offset within other income – enhances investors' understanding of underlying trends in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company also uses these non‑GAAP financial measures internally for budgeting, forecasting and assessing operating performance. These non‑GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's GAAP financial results. Because the methods used by the Company to calculate its non‑GAAP measures may differ from those used by other companies, the non‑GAAP measures presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of the Company's non‑GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided below and are available on the Company's website at investors.DICKS.com.
