Yes. Dick's Sporting Goods reported Q4 2025 earnings of $3.45 a share on Mar 12, 2026, beating the $2.94 consensus estimate by 17.4%. Revenue was $6.2B against a $6.1B estimate.
DICK'S Sporting Goods delivered a strong fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 beat, with adjusted EPS of $3.45 clearing the $2.94 consensus estimate by 17.41% and revenue of $6.23 billion topping expectations by 2.66%, even as the results were fundamentally reshaped by the company's September 2025 acquisition of Foot Locker for $2.50 billion. The headline revenue surge of 59.9% year-over-year was almost entirely a function of $2.18 billion in newly consolidated Foot Locker sales, while the legacy DICK'S business held its own with $4.05 billion in net sales and 3.1% comparable sales growth. On a GAAP basis, EPS fell to $1.41 from $3.62 a year ago, weighed down by $235.50 million in acquisition-related charges including $217.90 million of inventory write-downs and a $13.38 million asset impairment tied to an abandoned technology contract. The board lifted its quarterly dividend 3% to $1.25 per share, and management guided fiscal 2026 consolidated net sales of $22.10 billion to $22.40 billion, with consolidated non-GAAP EPS of $13.50 to $14.50, as integration of the Foot Locker platform accelerates.
