Pattern Detected

Earnings releases have generally been framed positively, but price reactions have been mixed, with three modest gains and two notable selloffs on otherwise strong updates, especially around major Foot Locker acquisition milestones.

Recent Company History

Over the past year, DICK'S has repeatedly reported solid earnings with rising comparable sales and progressively higher guidance. Q1 and Q2 2025 updates highlighted record sales and multiple outlook raises, while later quarters incorporated the sizable Foot Locker acquisition and related integration charges. Market reactions to these earnings have averaged a modest move of about -3.3%, reflecting occasional selloffs after strong reports, particularly when large strategic deals or higher spending were emphasized. Today’s Q1 2026 results and updated outlook continue that narrative of growth plus integration of the Foot Locker Business.

Average Historical Move earnings

In the past year, DKS posted 5 earnings-related releases with an average move of -3.3%, showing that strong reports sometimes coincided with profit-taking.

Earnings events track a shift from standalone DICK'S strength in early 2025 to integrating Foot Locker by late 2025, with Q4/FY25 results setting the initial 2026 outlook that today’s Q1 2026 update refines.

Analysis

The stock moved -6.0% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite positive sales and comp trends would fit the pattern where DKS earnings sometimes saw selling even on strong results. The updated 2026 EPS range and integration dynamics from Foot Locker could have amplified concerns, especially with the stock trading near a 52-week high before the release. Historically, some earnings events with upbeat narratives still produced drawdowns, suggesting profit‑taking risk after strong multi-quarter performance.

Key Terms

non-gaap, comparable sales, operating income, effective tax rate, +4 more

8 terms

non-gaap financial

"Delivered earnings per diluted share of $3.54 and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $2.90"

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.

comparable sales financial

"Raises low end of full year 2026 guidance for comparable sales growth for both the DICK'S and Foot Locker Businesses"

"Comparable sales" are the total sales from stores or products that have been open for a certain period, usually the same time last year or last quarter. They help show whether a business is growing by comparing similar locations or products over time, much like checking if your favorite store's sales are going up compared to previous years.

operating income financial

"Updates full year 2026 consolidated operating income guidance to a range of $1.69 to 1.81 billion"

Operating income is the profit a company earns from its regular business activities after subtracting the costs directly related to running the business, such as wages, rent, and supplies. It shows how well the core operations are performing, ignoring income or expenses from non-regular activities like investments or one-time events. Investors use it to assess the company's efficiency and profitability from its main work.

effective tax rate financial

"Effective tax rate | | 28.3 % | | 24.0 %"

The effective tax rate is the percentage of a company's profits that it pays in taxes. It shows how much of its earnings go to taxes after all deductions and credits are considered. For investors, it indicates how much of the company's income is taken by taxes, impacting overall profitability and financial health.

segment profit financial

"Profitability for the DICK'S and Foot Locker Businesses represents segment profit, or operating income for a respective segment."

Segment profit is the portion of a company's earnings produced by a single business unit or division after subtracting the costs directly tied to that unit. It shows how much money that part of the company actually contributes, like checking which room in a house uses most of the electricity. Investors use it to identify strong or weak businesses inside a company, guide capital allocation, and make clearer comparisons between divisions.

proforma financial

"Comparable sales for the Foot Locker Business are represented on a proforma basis"

Proforma describes financial numbers that have been adjusted to show how results would look under a specific scenario or after excluding certain items, like one-time costs or a recent acquisition. Investors use proforma figures as a “what-if” snapshot to compare performance on a more apples-to-apples basis, but they should note which adjustments were made because these tuned figures can make results look clearer than the unadjusted reality.

senior notes financial

"includes $385.5 million of carrying value for senior notes due 2029"

Senior notes are a type of loan that a company borrows from investors, promising to pay it back with interest. They are called "senior" because in case the company faces financial trouble, these lenders are paid back before others. This makes senior notes safer for investors compared to other types of loans or bonds.

revolving credit facility financial

"The Company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility in 2026 and 2025."

A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.

"Sport is one of the hottest categories in the country today, and DICK'S is leading from the front. We're investing from a position of strength and playing offense for the long term, widening the gap between us and the rest of the industry. Our leadership showed up clearly in our DICK'S Business results this quarter, with 6% comp growth. With Foot Locker, our excitement and confidence continue to build as we execute our plan, and in Q1 we saw encouraging proof points, returning the Foot Locker Business to positive comps and profitability. Our Fast Break initiative, our capital light store remodel program, is delivering exceptional results, with double-digit comps and merchandise margin improvement as we rapidly scale toward approximately 250 stores by back to school. Based on this early progress, we are raising the low end of our full-year comp sales expectation for the Foot Locker Business."

Ed Stack, Executive Chairman

"We're very proud of our company's Q1 results. Sport is driving sustained energy and engagement across the consumer landscape, and our team turned that athlete demand into another very strong quarter of execution. In Q1, we delivered comp sales growth of 6% in the DICK'S Business, with growth in average ticket and transactions, and broad-based strength across footwear, apparel, and hardlines. These strong comps were on top of a 4.5% increase last year and a 5.3% increase in 2024, as we continued to gain market share. Given our continued confidence in the DICK'S Business, we are raising our full-year expectations for comp sales growth and profitability."

Quarterly Dividend

On May 26, 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 June 26, 2026 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 12, 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 13-week period ended May 2, 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. We continue to expect these actions, along with merger and integration costs and deferred financing amortization on a bridge facility, to result in pre-tax charges of $500 to 750 million, of which $486.5 million has been recognized to date. Including the $96.5 million of charges incurred during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2026, we currently expect $200 million of these charges to be incurred in fiscal 2026, with the remaining charges to be incurred over the medium term.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting the Company's financial results for the first 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.
