  • There’s Still Great Upside in This Retailer Following Earnings

    By Brian Nichols - May 3, 2013 | Tickers: BGFV, DKS, HIBB

    I first said buy Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation (NASDAQ: BGFV) on December 2 2012 and then once more back on March 1. Today, after the company once again busted through earnings expectations, I am once again saying “Buy Big 5”!

    Big 5 is once again trading higher by almost 9% after crushing earnings expectations as revenue beat the consensus and its EPS was far above and beyond any analyst more »

  • A Sporting Way to Make a Winning Investment

    By Ken McGaha - April 21, 2013 | Tickers: CAB, DKS, HIBB

    There is no doubt that Americans love sports and competition. Typically, we only think of professional athletes or team owners as being in a position to profit from that situation. However, there is a way that virtually anyone can make very solid profits over many years: by investing in the businesses that supply us with the equipment we use in pursuit of our love of sporting activities.

  • Will Gun Regulations Help Gun Makers?

    By Tyler Wofford - April 16, 2013 | Tickers: CAB, DKS, SWHC, RGR

    There is a lot of debate on what will happen with the gun-control issues. With the recent shootings, various politicians (both Republican and Democrat) have tried to crack down and regulate guns more than ever before. How would more regulations effect investments in gun manufacturers and distributors?

    Many companies such as Sturm, Ruger & Company (NYSE: RGR) (I will refer to it as Ruger), Cabela's (NYSE: CAB), and Olin (the more »

  • What You Must Know About Nike

    By Ron Chatterjee - April 1, 2013 | Tickers: CROX, DECK, DKS, KSWS, MS, NKE, SKX

    In the last 3 months, Nike's (NYSE: NKE) stock price has surged 12.25%. If you are excited by that, you would probably jump at this one. Nike's stock price has appreciated 73.8% in the last 5 years. And that includes the period of the Great Recession (2007-2010) as well. Mark Parker's efforts to improve the company are showing through stock price appreciation.

  • This Sporting Retailer Is for the Long Run

    By Anh HOANG - March 30, 2013 | Tickers: DKS, FL, HIBB

    Recently, Forbes released a list of 100 America’s Best Small Companies. In the industry of specialty stores in the list, I noticed one company, which has consistently delivered a double-digit return on invested capital for the past ten years. It is Hibbett Sports (NASDAQ: HIBB). Interestingly, Hibbett has appreciated only 3.15% in the past twelve months. Let’s take a closer look to determine whether or not Hibbett more »

  • The Sporting Goods Store You May Like To Check Out

    By Satarupa Bose - March 26, 2013 | Tickers: DKS, FL, HIBB

    The increase in payroll taxes have no doubt decreased US citizens' take home pay, but I don’t see its impact in the apparel, footwear and accessories market. Almost all the companies in this industry are performing pretty well, which clearly shows that the slow economic recovery and the hike in payroll tax haven’t yet disrupted consumer spending trends. Recently, the sporting goods chain Hibbett Sports (NASDAQ: HIBB) lit more »

  • The Market Overreacted

    By Chad Henage - March 20, 2013 | Tickers: DKS, FL, NKE, UA

    This market seems to have adopted a shoot first, ask questions later attitude. When Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS) reported earnings recently, the stock dropped 10% on the perception of disappointing results. However, if you look at the company's actual numbers, there wasn't anything that long-term investors should worry about. With the stock still down over 7% from its price prior to earnings, this might be a more »

  • Why This Destination Retailer Will Continue to Shoot Higher

    By AnnaLisa Kraft - March 19, 2013 | Tickers: CAB, DKS, RGR

    My favorite childhood book  was "My Side of The Mountain," about a boy who lives off the land, hunting and fishing. If there had been a Cabela's (NYSE: CAB), the outdoors retailer, (NYSE: CAB)around me I would have haunted the place. Even if you're not outdoorsy Cabela's is a great place to visit with huge dioramas, cafeterias featuring game dishes, classes, wildlife art and gun museums, duck ponds more »

  • Is This Sporting Goods Retailer a Buy After an 11% Daily Drop?

    By Anh HOANG - March 15, 2013 | Tickers: DKS, FL, FINL

    Dick’s Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS) has recently experienced a significant drop of nearly 11% in one trading day, because the company’s earnings results missed analysts’ expectations. The fourth quarter earnings came in at $1.03 per share, lower than Wall Street’s estimate of $1.06 per share. At the current price of more than $45 per share, it is trading around its 52-week low.

  • It Might Be Time to Buy Sporting Goods Stocks

    By BenzingaNews - March 14, 2013 | Tickers: CAB, DKS

    by Tim Parker, Benzinga staff writer

    Shares of Cabela's (NYSE:CAB) climbed more than 12 percent this week as the company increased guidance on its earnings per share. For those who took CNBC’s Jim Cramer’s advice on March 8 when he said, “If you're long, I'd take half off ahead of the quarter,” some upside was missed.

  • A Footwear Play For Safety And Growth

    By Matthew Frankel - March 13, 2013 | Tickers: DKS, NKE, UA

    Nike (NYSE: NKE) is the world leader in athletic footwear, athletic apparel, and accessories. In fact, Nike is so dominant when it comes to footwear that industry analysts estimate that the company has a 50% market share, meaning they sell as many athletic shoes as all of their competitors combined. Nike has performed very well over the past decade or so, more than doubling their revenue and tripling the share more »

  • Should You Buy the Dip at Dick's?

    By Leo Sun - March 13, 2013 | Tickers: CAB, DKS, HIBB, WMT

    Dick’s Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS), the American sports superstore that also operates Golf Galaxy, recently stunned investors with bleak fourth quarter earnings and a soft outlook for the coming year. As a result, shares plunged more than 10% after its fourth quarter earnings announcement on March 11.

    In my opinion, this panicked sell-off has created a possible investment opportunity for patient investors. In this article I’ll examine the more »

  • As Spring Hits, Should You Buy These Outdoor Retailers?

    By Robert Ciura - March 12, 2013 | Tickers: CAB, DKS, HD | Editor's Choice

    Slowly but surely, the days get longer and the temperature gets warmer. Outdoor retailers have been on an absolute tear as of late, and now that spring is finally near, could be primed for further gains. These stocks aren’t lacking high growth rates and have some lofty valuations to prove it. If you’re an investor who enjoys both the outdoors and stocks that offer outsized gains, these stocks more »

    By John Macris - March 8, 2013 | Tickers: DKS, FL, LTM

    Investors receive feedback from the market on a frequent basis based on the stocks we select for our portfolios. While the price of a security can change on daily news flow, my experience indicates the most money can be made by picking companies for the long-term on strong fundamentals.

  • Are These 3 Stocks a Home Run for Investors?

    By Dave Koppenheffer - March 4, 2013 | Tickers: DKS, JAH, NKE

    Freshly cut grass, the smell of leather, the roar of the crowd--it must be that time of year again. Baseball is coming back! And while the changing of the seasons may hold a sense of child-like wonderment for some, for companies like Jarden (NYSE: JAH), Nike (NYSE: NKE), and Dick’s Sporting Good (NYSE: DKS), America’s greatest past time smells more like cold hard cash.

  • Not the Best Way to Play Sporting Goods

    By Matthew Frankel - February 27, 2013 | Tickers: CAB, DKS, NKE, UA

    Dick’s Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS) is a leading operator of sporting goods stores, with over 550 locations in 43 states.  Dick’s has done an excellent job of growing revenues over the past decade (see chart), and as a result, shareholders have been handsomely rewarded as the stock has climbed from $3 in 2003 to the current level of just under $50.

    The specialty hardline sector may not witness the same growth that it saw in 2012. Weakness in fundamentals might be one of the points, but the following note on three stocks tells us that there has been a considerable amount of uncertainty among the investor circles that has led to a weak outlook of this sector for 2013:

  • Sporting Goods Stores May Outperform

    By Damon Churchwell - February 21, 2013 | Tickers: BGFV, DKS, FL, HIBB

    We are approaching the earnings dates for several sporting goods retailers, companies that may well be poised to beat expectations. Despite retail stocks having lagged the broader market somewhat of late, this could be an opportunity to benefit from the upside potential of one or two players in this particular niche. The companies have positive earnings pictures and are well-positioned for further expansion of their store bases. Some are targeting more »
