Read MoreHide Full Article

Factors to Note Ahead of ASO’s Q3 Release
Academy Sports' performance in third-quarter 2024 is likely to have been hurt by a challenging macroeconomic environment which has been impacting its customer base. A decline in discretionary spending by middle and low-income consumers is likely to have hurt the company.
Dismal comps are also likely to have hurt the company’s top line. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for comps indicates a decline of 3.6%. The consensus estimate for Apparel, Outdoors, Footwear and Sports and Recreational revenues is pegged at $374.7 million, $424 million, $316.6 million and $253.5 million, up 0.2%, down 3.8%, 2.5% and 5.1%, respectively, year over year.
However, product innovation and expansion efforts are likely to have aided the performance. ASO’s focus on omnichannel improvements and digital enhancements, along with strengthening its inventory position (with seasonally appropriate products) to ensure the company’s growth momentum, also bodes well. Initiatives like My Academy Rewards and partnerships are likely to have boosted engagement and incremental sales.
