Dick's Sporting Goods stumbles, plans to increase discounts

Dick's sports equipment warned Tuesday that despite plans to increase discounts, sales are expected to decline.

During this period, sales of hunting products, licensed products and sportswear decreased Dick's sales and offset increases in footwear, golf and online sales. Dick wanted to benefit from industry integration due to the collapse of other sporting goods chain

The biggest retailer in the sporting goods industry failed in the second quarter's sales forecast and caused the sale of its stock.

The company is expected to grow from 2% to 3%, but the sales of stores operated for at least one year has increased by 0.1%.

CEO Edward Stark told a conference call with investors on Tuesday. "The retail market is currently experiencing floods, the environment is intensely competing, full of energy."

However, as competitors were struggling, Mr. Stack says: "This confusion means that our business has a long life, strong."

Unfortunately, the company warned that existing store sales in the third quarter will be "single digit early" after 2% growth in the third quarter of 2016.

Throughout the fiscal year, retailers expect "less units" for the same store sales.

However, in general, the expansion of the company continues to increase sales and revenue. The chain is planned to open 43 Dick shops, 7 Dick shops, 8 Golf Galaxy shops, 1 Golf Galaxy shop, and 8 field and stream shops, respectively.

According to Mr. Stack, Dick said it will further promote and strengthen marketing activities during the year "to expand the share in the store and online market".

Second quarter revenue was $ 2.2 billion, up 6%, in line with Standard & Poor's global market information expectations. Standard & Poor's expected net profit rose 2% to $ 112.4 million

Neil Saunders, Managing Director of GlobalData Retail, predicts that Dick's mistake on store sales growth, which was expected to open for at least a year, will be a "call for awakening."

Sanders added that there is a reason to worry. While retail observers anticipate that Dick will increase sales by filling gaps left by failed competitors like the sports world, Dick is actually like a department store like Call, Lululemon and Footlocker I will see things. Competition in specialty shops is intensifying.

"If Dick wants to reconnect with shoppers and want to maintain market share, we will need to invest more," says Sanders.
