In a report released today, Sam Poser from Williams Trading maintained a Buy rating on Dick’s Sporting Goods (DKS – Research Report), with a price target of $260.00.
Sam Poser has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that suggest positive momentum for Dick’s Sporting Goods. The company is expected to outperform in the fourth quarter of 2024, with holiday trends indicating strong performance and market share gains from competitors like Academy. Despite some concerns about optimizing new store concepts, Dick’s is successfully increasing its presence with high-demand products, particularly in women’s footwear and apparel, which are attracting consumers away from department stores.
Additionally, Dick’s is benefiting from Nike’s renewed focus on the wholesale channel, enhancing in-store presentations and driving full-price sales of seasonal products. While the fiscal year 2025 guidance is anticipated to be conservative, it is expected to align with current market estimates. The company’s limited exposure to Chinese-made goods and the appeal of the brands it carries further support the positive outlook, despite broader macroeconomic challenges.
In another report released on February 13, Gordon Haskett Capital Corporation also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $280.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 59 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of DKS in relation to earlier this year.
