Factors Likely to Influence DICK'S Sporting (DKS) Q2 Earnings

Read MoreHide Full Article

DICK’S Sporting Goods Inc. (DKS - Free Report) is expected to register year-over-year sales and earnings decline when it releases second-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Aug 23. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal second-quarter revenues is pegged at $3.1 billion, indicating a decline of 6.2% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.

The consensus estimate for fiscal second-quarter earnings is currently pegged at $3.51, which suggests a decrease of 30.9% from the year-ago reported number. However, the consensus mark has moved down by a penny in the past 30 days.

In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 17.3%. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 40.7%, on average.

Factors to Note

DICK’S Sporting has been reeling under the adverse impacts of the ongoing macroeconomic environment, supply-chain conditions and the current geopolitical situation. The company has been witnessing higher supply-chain-related costs and rising fixed occupancy costs. These downsides are likely to have dented the fiscal second-quarter performance.

However, strength in its core strategies bodes well. The company also remains on track with its store initiatives. Its earlier launched DICK'S House of Sport, Golf Galaxy Performance Center, Public Lands and Going, Going, Gone! have been performing well. The two Golf Galaxy performance centers, featuring TrackMan and BioMech golf technologies, are likely to have acted as upsides. Progress on its store remodeling efforts is also expected to have aided its performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
