FY25 net sales reached $17.22 billion, as disclosed in Dick’s Sporting Goods second‑quarter release. The amount fell short of market forecasts, triggering the sharpest share decline in three years.

Forbes highlighted the same percentage drop, noting it as the worst trading day in three years. Employees at both Dick’s and the newly acquired Foot Locker stores could encounter tighter budgets as the chain reassesses promotional spend.
