DICK'S Sporting Goods cuts 2026 Foot Locker outlook; Q2 EPS falls to $3.50
DICK'S reported second-quarter 2026 GAAP net sales of $5.6 billion, up from $3.6 billion a year earlier, mainly because of the Foot Locker acquisition, while GAAP earnings per diluted share fell 26% to $3.50. The company lowered its full-year 2026 Foot Locker comparable sales and operating income outlook, citing challenging athletic footwear conditions, but kept its DICK'S Business comparable sales outlook unchanged, which matters to shareholders because Foot Locker now makes up a large share of results.
