Dick’s Sporting Goods Posts Higher Sales. Why the Stock Is Sliding After Earnings.

Dick’s Sporting Goods narrowly cleared the bar for the first quarter but a cut in its full-year earnings outlook and cautious guidance sent shares sliding Wednesday. The Pennsylvania-based retailer posted first-quarter adjusted earnings of $2.90 a share, a touch above analysts’ calls for $2.89. Although the company raised the low end of its full-year comparable sales outlook for both the Dick’s and Foot Locker franchises, Dick’s now sees earnings of $13.27 to $14.27 a share, compared with a prior range of $13.70 to $14.70.
