Shares of Dick’s Sporting Goods ($DKS) was under pressure in pre-market trading after the sporting goods retailer reported weaker than expected first quarter same store sales growth.
Dick’s has fared better than competitors due to its execution and company-specific initiatives, including Dick’s Team Sports HQ, a technology platform for youth sports leagues, private brands (12% of sales) including Calia and Reebok, and strong partnerships with vendors, which prefer to work with national retailers like Dick’s.
Dick's Sporting Goods shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q2 EPS and sales results and issued FY21 guidance above analyst estimates. The company also announced a special dividend of $5.50 and plans to increase buybacks to minimum of $400 million. Aug 25, 2021 7:37a ET
