Why else is Dick’s Sporting Goods stock up today?

The stock is being rewarded also because the chain of sporting goods stores raised its guidance for the full year on Tuesday.

Dick’s that recently bought Moosejaw from Walmart now forecasts $11.45 to $12.05 of per-share earnings in fiscal 2023 on up to 2.0% annualised growth in same-store sales. Analysts, in comparison, were at $11.83 per share and 0.7% increase in comparable sales.

With our best-in-class athlete experience and differentiated assortment, we continued to gain market share as consumers prioritise Dick’s Sporting Goods to meet their needs.
