Robbins LLP is investigating allegations that defendants misled investors regarding Dick's growth and profitability in light of the integration of recently acquired Foot Locker.

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Robbins LLP notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE: DKS) on behalf of shareholders who purchased common stock between September 8, 2025, and August 24, 2026. The legal action follows a sharp decline in the company's market value after disappointing financial results linked to its acquisition of Foot Locker.

On August 25, 2026, Dick's reported second-quarter revenue from Foot Locker of $1.73 billion, missing analyst estimates of $1.81 billion. The company simultaneously lowered its full-year 2026 net sales guidance and disclosed that it expected Foot Locker's proforma comparable sales to decline by as much as 2.0%—a significant reversal from the previously forecasted growth of 1.5% to 3%.

Following these disclosures, the price of Dick's common stock fell $55.02 per share, a decline of approximately 30%, to close at $124.31 per share on August 25, 2026.

Allegations of Misleading Disclosures

The complaint alleges that Dick's Sporting Goods misled investors by touting the Foot Locker acquisition as a strategic growth driver while omitting critical information about inventory challenges. Specifically, the lawsuit claims the company failed to disclose that efforts to clean up Foot Locker's inventory were incomplete and that the business remained heavily dependent on legacy footwear products vulnerable to intensifying promotional pressures.

Executive Chairman Edward W. Stack later revealed the athletic footwear marketplace had become "increasingly promotional," which significantly impacted the Foot Locker business due to its "greater exposure to legacy footwear."
