10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Shares of Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKS#NYSE">DKS</a>) rose in early trading on Thursday despite the company reporting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45648326/dicks-sporting-goods-profit-falls-short-of-expectations-sticks-to-annual-outlook-despite-tariffs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an earnings miss for the first quarter on Wednesday</a>.
The announcement came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
JPMorgan On Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/584847d9ee7bf6000154d225/christopher-horvers">Analyst Christopher Horvers</a> reiterated a Neutral rating, while cutting the price target from $224 to $195.
Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods' fundamentals remain strong, although the acquisition of Foot Locker Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FL#NYSE">FL</a>) continues to be "an overhang," Horvers said in a note. This was the fifth consecutive quarter in which the company generated over 4% comp, which came in at +4.8%, driven by strength in both ticket and traffic, he added.
Management maintained their full-year guide of 1%-3% comps and earnings of $13.80-$14.40 per share, citing strength in the first quarter, confidence in their strategic initiatives, and "operational strength against a complex macro environment," the analyst stated. 
The company believes it can meet its targets "regardless of the tariff situation given the strength of its assortment and business momentum, diversification efforts, strong partnerships with vendors, and DKS's strong pricing capabilities," he further wrote.

BofA Securities On Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58ad8d48b85e930001f97170/robert-ohmes">Analyst Robert Ohmes</a> maintained a Buy rating and price target of $250.
Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods reported adjusted earnings of $3.37 per share and comp of 4.5%, in-line with its preannouncement, driven by growth in ticket and traffic, Ohmes said. Gross margin came in at 36.7%, up 41 bps year-on-year, the analyst noted.
The company plans to acquire Foot Locker for $24 per share or $2.5 billion, with the deal expected to close in the back half of 2025, Ohmes stated. "DKS expects $100-125mn in cost synergies (procurement &amp; sourcing efficiencies) over the medium term and the acquisition to be accretive to F27E EPS," he wrote.
Telsey Advisory Group On Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5e301e08430dee0001c88c8d/joseph-feldman">Analyst Joseph Feldman</a> reaffirmed an Outperform rating and price target of $220.
Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods reported "impressive results again," despite the tougher consumer environment, Feldman said. Its comp remained strong, "reflecting solid demand for sporting goods and continued market share gains," he wrote.
The analyst stated that management maintained their full-year comp and earnings guidance at 1.0%-3.0% and $13.80-$14.40 per share, respectively. He added that many investors are skeptical about the Foot Locker deal, given Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods' strong position in the U.S. sporting goods market and considering the target is structurally challenged.

Forecasting The Future: 21 Analyst Projections For Dick's Sporting Goods

After a sharp Tuesday rally fueled by optimism over improved U.S.-EU trade ties, Wall Street stalled midweek as rising Treasury yields reasserted pressure ahead of Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)&#8217;s earnings report and the release of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/federal-reserve"> key Federal Reserve minutes.</a>
Major U.S. stock indexes paused on Wednesday, digesting recent gains as yields on longer-term Treasury bonds resumed their climb. The S&amp;P 500 slipped 0.2% to 5,900 points by midday in New York, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 held flat. Small-cap stocks underperformed sharply, with the Russell 2000 down 0.8%.
Sector performance was broadly negative, with 9 of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors trading lower. Technology and communication services were the only sectors managing to avoid losses. 
All eyes are on Nvidia, which is set to report earnings after Wednesday's closing bell. Wall Street expects earnings per share of 88 cents and revenue of $43.2 billion, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro</a> estimates.
Beyond the headline figures, investors will be closely watching two key aspects: the impact of the U.S. export ban on the H20 chips destined for China and the forward guidance. CEO Jensen Huang already said the company could face a $5 billion annual earnings hit due to export restrictions, making this quarter&#8217;s outlook pivotal for market sentiment.
The Federal Reserve's minutes from its May meeting will also be released. The Federal Open Market Committee left rates unchanged in the 4.25%-4.50% range. Chair Jerome Powell signaled little urgency to cut rates, citing inflation risks partly tied to newly proposed trade tariffs.
Markets will parse the minutes for hints on the Fed's timeline for easing monetary policy, particularly as inflation data remains stubbornly elevated.
After a brief relief, bond markets came under renewed pressure. The yield on the 30-year Treasury note climbed 5 basis points to 5%, while the 10-year yield rose to 4.5%. Investors remain concerned about the trajectory of U.S. fiscal policy, with swelling budget deficits raising doubts about long-term debt sustainability.
The U.S. dollar rallied for a second straight session, decoupling from other U.S. assets. Meanwhile, gold slipped 0.2%, dipping below $3,300 per ounce. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fell 2%, trading near $107,000 as speculative appetite in cryptocurrencies waned.
