<h3>Evaluating Dick's Sporting Goods P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Dick's Sporting Goods has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 35.99 of the Specialty Retail industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued.

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Shares of companies within retail, apparel, and e-commerce industries are trading lower amid heavy selling pressure as markets react to President Trump's tariff announcements, which may hamper consumer spending.

TSCO

Shares of retail, apparel, and e-commerce companies are trading higher. Investors may be interpreting the release of better-than-expected ADP employment data as a sign of strength for the industry.

Shares of e-commerce, retail, and apparel stocks are trading lower following greater-than-expected inflation data measured through the PCE price index for February, while personal spending missed estimates. Additionally, recent tariff announcements may be weighing on equities.

Shares of retail, apparel, and e-commerce companies are trading higher amid overall market strength on reports of potentially narrowed or targeted tariffs, which may be easing investor concerns.

Yesterday, the firm reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.96,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44421964/academy-sports-beats-q4-eps-estimates-comparable-sales-dip-3" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the street view of $1.83</a>.&nbsp;Quarterly sales of $1.676 billion (down 6.6% year over year) missed the analyst consensus estimate of $1.677 billion by a hairline.
The analyst notes that Academy Sports has made progress in improving new store site selection for the second half of 2024, following underwhelming performance when it initially started its unit growth story in 2022.

Furthermore, the company's IT improvements and plans show promise in enhancing the performance of its existing stores, Horvers writes.
Academy Sports is also expanding its Nike, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) product assortment to 145 of its 300+ locations, as well as on its website, starting this April, aiming to compete with Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKS#NYSE">DKS</a>) for brand access.
However, Horvers points out that the macroeconomic environment presents challenges for Academy Sports, particularly compared to competitors like Dick&#8217;s Sporting, due to its higher exposure to lower-income consumers.
Despite this, the analyst remains neutral on Academy Sports, acknowledging its attractive valuation but expressing &#8220;uncertainty&#8221; about how much growth the company can achieve given the current market conditions.
The analyst models 1Q/FY25 comps of -3.5%/flat, respectively.
Price Action: ASO shares are trading higher by 1.14% to $47.96 at last check Friday.

Stifel: Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods' fourth-quarter net sales grew 6.4% to $3,894 million, beating Street expectations of $3,777 million, Duffy said in a note. The earnings beat was not as substantial, mainly due to below-the-line items, he added.
Management's earnings guidance for 2025 came in at a range of $13.80 to $14.40 per share, falling short of prevailing estimates, the analyst stated. "Increased inventory near-term supports potential comp upside in spring '25 but adds markdown risk should business slow," he further wrote.
Telsey Advisory Group: Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods delivered another quarterly of "strong performance," with comps of 6.4% and earnings of $3.62 per share beating consensus of 3.1% and $3.52 per share, respectively, Feldman said. The company delivered a comp beat despite difficult comparisons and a relatively challenging consumer environment, he added.
In 2024, Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods maintained its position as the largest US sporting goods retailer and grew its market share by around 50 basis points to about 9.0%, the analyst stated. The lower-than-expected earnings guidance for 2025 "mainly reflect investments in long-term strategic growth initiatives, weighing on near-term profitability," as the company is "accelerating growth of its new store concepts, House of Sport and Field House, which have been received well," he further wrote.
Goldman Sachs: Dick's Sporting Goods delivered a "solid" quarter, with healthy comps, margins and earnings, McShane said. The current momentum in the company's business, investments in digital and footwear as well as market share gains will support comps, she added.
Dick's Sporting Goods plans to continue growing its store concepts, including House of Sport, Field House, and Golf Galaxy Performance Center, the analyst stated. "We expect GameChanger and Dick's Media Network to remain important discussion points in FY25, which will serve as margin drivers and potentially result in multiple expansion over time," she further wrote.
Wedbush: Although Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods' quarterly results "handily beat" consensus estimates, the 2025 comps and earnings guidance missed expectations, Basham said. The guidance came below consensus "even without including any impact from tariffs.&#8221;
Basham sees &#8220;more positives than negatives,&#8221; citing market share gains and strong gross margins supported by an assortment of premium products, strategic inventory investments, experiential retail concepts that are resonating, a strong eCommerce business, an impressive adjacent business in GameChanger and an emerging retail media network.
Guggenheim Securities: Dick's quarterly results "broadly exceeded our expectations," management&#8217;s 2025 outlook fell short, "with net capital expenditures needs ramping to over 7.0% of net sales," Forbes said.
The company&#8217;s "broad-based investment agenda" includes increasing square footage, technology investments and marketing expenses, the analyst stated. This indicates Dick Sporting Goods "is entering 2025 with an elevated breakeven comp profile.&#8221;
Price Action: Shares of Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods had declined by 1.62% to $195.75 at the time of publication on Wednesday.
