DA Davidson analyst Michael Baker lowered the firm’s price target on Dick’s Sporting (DKS) to $245 from $270 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after its Q3 results. The company’s core business continues to beat, with upside on comps and gross margins, and the management guidance for 4Q that seems appropriately conservative/beatable, the analyst tells investors in a research note. That strength is somewhat offset by weaker Foot Locker results both for Q3 stub period and Q4 expectations, though the firm understands Dick’s Sporting’s desire to aggressively clear Foot Locker’s underperforming inventory and to close stores so as to set a clean deck for 2026, DA Davidson added.
