Let’s jump into that earnings report below to see why holders of DKS stock are disappointed today!

  • Let’s get the basics out of the way first, which includes adjusted earnings per share of $3.19 on revenue of $2.75 billion.
  • Both of these easily beat out Wall Street’s estimates of $1.97 per share and revenue of $2.5 billion.
  • The company’s adjusted EPS also represents a 59% increase over the $2.01 reported during the same time last year.
  • Its revenue is also sitting 13.9% higher than the $2.41 billion reported in the third quarter of 2020.
  • All of that sounds like great news, so why are investors unhappy with DKS stock today.
  • It has to do with slowing revenue growth.
  • Sure, that 13.9% revenue increase sounds like a win, until you compare it to the company’s 40% revenue increase from Q3 2019 to Q3 2020.
  • Consolidated same-store sales show a similar slowing growth with an increase of 12.2% year-over-year for Q3 2021.
  • Yet again, that’s doesn’t match up to the retailer’s consolidated same-store sales growth of 23.2% from Q3 2019 to Q3 2020.
  • The slowing revenue growth at Dick’s Sporting Goods likely has some investors worried that the company is getting close to stagnation.
  • We’ll have to wait and see how DKS performs in its next few earnings report to see if that’s the case.
  • Either way, today’s news brings heavy trading to DKS stock.
  • This has some 4.7 million shares moving as of this writing.
  • That’s above the company’s daily average trading volume of 2.4 million shares.

DKS stock is down 9.6% as of Tuesday afternoon.
