Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS) beat on top and bottom line, but the stock sold off due to concerns about tariffs and the impact of the upcoming Foot Locker (FL) acquisition. Tsvetta Kaleynska notes that despite a positive earnings reaction, channel checks show that Dick's is struggling to generate buzz online, with consumers instead discussing concerns about customer service and reliability. Morningstar's David Swartz believes the Foot Locker deal will have a "depressing impact" on Dick's margins and sales growth, but sees a potential reward in the long-term due to Foot Locker's international presence and the acquisition price.
