DICK’S SPORTING GOODS ALERT: Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. Announces that a Class Action Lawsuit Has Been Filed Against DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. and Encourages Investors to Contact the Firm

NEW YORK, Feb. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. (“DICK’S Sporting Goods” or the “Company”) (NYSE: DKS) in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired DICK’S Sporting Goods common stock between May 25, 2022 and August 21, 2023, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). Investors have until April 16, 2024 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.

The Dick’s Sporting Goods class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) demand for products in Dick’s Sporting Goods’ Outdoor segment was slowing faster than defendants represented, resulting in excess inventory; (ii) the “structural changes” that defendants repeatedly touted, including differentiated products, improved pricing technology, and more efficient clearance channels, did not allow Dick’s Sporting Goods to manage its excess inventory without hurting its profitability; and (iii) the need to liquidate excess inventory, including in the Outdoor segment, would have a materially negative effect on Dick’s Sporting Goods’ profitability.

On May 19, 2023, TD Cowen and Telsey Advisory Group issued analyst reports lowering their sales and earnings per share estimates for Dick’s Sporting Goods for both the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and the full year.  On this news, the price of Dick’s Sporting Goods common stock fell nearly 7%.

Then, on August 22, 2023, Dick’s Sporting Goods revealed that profitability for the second quarter of 2023 was significantly lower than previously represented.  Specifically, Dick’s Sporting Goods’ net income was $244 million (compared to the analyst consensus estimate of $338 million), earnings per share were $2.82 (compared to the analyst consensus estimate of $3.81), gross margin was 34.4% (compared to the analyst consensus estimate of 36.3%), and pre-tax margin was 10.2% (below Dick’s Sporting Goods’ previously-issued guidance of 11.7%).  Dick’s Sporting Goods also lowered its profitability guidance for the rest of fiscal year 2023.  

On this news, the price of Dick’s Sporting Goods common stock fell more than 24%.
