What the Analysts think about ASO
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Academy Sports and Outdoors stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Academy Sports and Outdoors stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Academy delivered Q2 adjusted EPS of $2.31, up 19.1% year over year and above the reported $2.07 consensus, while raising fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $6.50–$6.90. (MT Newswires via Yahoo Finance)
Digital execution is improving: Q2 e-commerce sales increased 12.8%, and new stores generated positive mid-single-digit comparable sales, supporting the case for continued returns from Academy’s expansion program. (Academy Sports + Outdoors)
The company is maintaining shareholder returns while investing for growth: it declared a $0.15 quarterly dividend and continues opening stores, with 324 locations already reported after Q1 and additional openings planned for fiscal 2026. (Academy Sports + Outdoors)
Q2 fiscal 2026 comparable sales declined 0.4%, despite total sales rising 3.0%, indicating that reported growth still depends materially on new-store expansion rather than established-store demand. (Academy Sports + Outdoors)
Management continues to flag pressure on consumer spending, particularly among lower-income households; that creates downside risk for discretionary categories such as apparel, footwear and recreation if customers trade down or defer purchases. (Academy Sports + Outdoors)
Q2 adjusted EPS included a $0.06-per-share net tariff-refund benefit, while full-year sales guidance remained only $6.23–$6.36 billion; this raises the risk that earnings momentum could moderate when one-time benefits fade or tariff costs re-emerge. (Academy Sports + Outdoors)
