Sam Poser has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors impacting Dick’s Sporting Goods. Despite the company’s recent positive trends and improvements in store layout, design, and product assortments, there are concerns about potential distractions from Foot Locker. These distractions could overshadow the strengths that Dick’s has been developing.
While Dick’s has made strides in becoming a prominent sporting goods store, it still does not match the productivity levels of its competitor, Scheel’s. Furthermore, although the leadership at Dick’s is recognized for its retail expertise and strong brand relationships, there is apprehension that the focus on Foot Locker might divert attention from the ongoing progress at Dick’s. As a result, the recommendation remains a Hold, reflecting a cautious stance amid these uncertainties.
In another report released on August 19, TD Cowen also reiterated a Hold rating on the stock with a $231.00 price target.
