Dick's Sporting Goods reported fiscal Q1 revenue of $5.17 billion, beating estimates, but adjusted EPS of $2.90 missed expectations as $96.5 million of acquisition-related charges from the Foot Locker deal hit results. Comparable sales rose 6% at Dick's and 0.6% overall at Foot Locker (6.4% in Foot Locker U.S.), producing combined comps growth of 4.1%. The company narrowed comparable-sales guidance for both banners but lowered consolidated operating income and EPS ranges for fiscal 2026 while raising adjusted operating income guidance slightly. » Altro su cnbc.com

Dick’s Sporting Goods completed its $2.4 billion acquisition of Foot Locker, creating a combined retail group with more than 3,200 stores in roughly 20 countries. Foot Locker will operate as a standalone business while Dick’s plans to apply its omnichannel playbook, inventory discipline and sourcing efficiencies to restore growth and capture at least $100 million in cost savings. Management expects the deal to be earnings-accretive by 2026, though risks include margin pressure from heavy markdowning, competition from athleisure brands and shifting wholesale dynamics with Nike and Adidas. » Altro su forbes.com

Foot Locker announced it is discontinuing the Foot Locker Nationals high school cross country series, a 45-year event that had showcased future Olympians, citing waning interest, sponsor losses and the high cost of staging a national meet. The decision came months after Dick’s Sporting Goods agreed to acquire Foot Locker, which prompted a balance-sheet review and contributed to ending the event. Competition from Nike Cross Nationals and a lack of direct retail return on investment also eroded the series' relevance in recent years. » Altro su forbes.com
