Quality

50

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 50 of 100, a middle-of-the-universe reading. The measurements behind it are mixed.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

Middle

47

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 47 of 100. Stored measurements classify recent reported fundamentals as middle. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Moderate

43

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 43 of 100, recorded as moderate. Stored records show 13 consecutive years of dividend payments. Share count has been reduced at about 3.8% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

What this company does

DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, referred to as "the Company", "we", "us" and "our" unless specified otherwise) is a leading global sports retailer offering an extensive assortment of authentic, high-quality sports equipment, apparel, footwear and accessories. Our banners include DICK’S Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy, Public Lands and Going Going Gone! stores in addition to the experiential retail concepts DICK’S House of Sport and Golf Galaxy Performance Center which are all located across the United States. Additionally, as owner and operator of Foot Locker, which includes Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, Champs Sports, WSS and atmos banners, we serve the global sneaker community across North America, Europe, Asia and Australia, plus a licensed store presence in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. We also own and operate GameChanger, a youth sports mobile platform for live streaming, scheduling, communications and scorekeeping.

We were founded in 1948 in New York under the name Dick’s Clothing and Sporting Goods, Inc. when Richard "Dick" Stack, the father of Edward W. Stack, our Executive Chairman, opened his original bait and tackle store in Binghamton, New York. Edward W. Stack joined his father's business full-time in 1977 and in 1984 became President and Chief Executive Officer of the then two-store chain. In April 1999 we changed our name to DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc.

In fiscal 2025, the Company acquired Foot Locker, a leading footwear and apparel retailer, and now has two reportable segments: DICK’S and Foot Locker. When we refer to the "DICK’S Business" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we are describing our existing DICK’S Sporting Goods operations, encompassing the DICK’S Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy, Going Going Gone! and Public Lands banners, as well as GameChanger. Our employees are referred to as "teammates" and our customers are referred to as "athletes" for the DICK’S Business. When we refer to the "Foot Locker Business" we are describing our newly acquired operations, including the Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, Champs Sports, WSS and atmos banners serving customers referred to as "sneakerheads" or "sneaker enthusiasts." Foot Locker retail employees are often referred to as "stripers", or "blue shirts" in the context of the Champs Sports banner, and for all other employees, "teammates." For purposes of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we use the general terms "customers" and "employees" when describing the consolidated organization. For additional information attributable to our reportable segments, refer to Part IV. Item 15. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules, Note 17 – Segment Reporting.
