The retailer beat its own-store sales forecast but was pulled down by foot traffic problems at Foot Locker.
Same-store results diverge
Dick's Sporting Goods reported quarterly sales at its namesake stores grew 4.9% compared to the same period last year, driven by what the company called broad-based growth and strong results from the World Cup.
At the same time, same-store sales at Foot Locker, which Dick's acquired in 2025, fell 3.6%. This led the company to revise its full-year outlook for the Foot Locker business to a range between flat and a 2% decline.
Financial targets moved lower
The company lowered its overall sales forecast for full-year 2025 from a previous range of $22.1 billion to $22.4 billion to a new range between $21.9 billion and $22.2 billion.
The outlook for consolidated operating income was also cut sharply, moving down to a range of $1.45 billion to $1.55 billion from a previous range between $1.69 billion and $1.81 billion.
Earnings miss analyst expectations
For the quarter ended August 1, Dick's reported adjusted earnings of $3.53 per share, which missed analyst forecasts compiled by LSEG. Net income was $315 million, down from $381 million in the same period last year.
Total sales rose to $5.59 billion from $3.65 billion a year ago, a period before the Foot Locker acquisition was completed.
CEO Lauren Hobart said the company is taking a more cautious view of the rest of the year but remains confident in its core Dick's business and the long-term opportunity at Foot Locker. The company cited a challenging market for athletic footwear and apparel.
