(NYSE: DKS) common stock between September 8, 2025 and August 24,\n2026, inclusive (the \"Class Period\").

In reality, those problems persisted, as Foot Locker remained\nheavily dependent on legacy footwear products that were exposed to\nintensifying promotional pressures across the athletic footwear industry. As a\nresult, Dick’s was never positioned to deliver the sales growth and\nprofitability from the Foot Locker acquisition that it had touted to\ninvestors.\n\nPlaintiff alleges that during the class period, defendants failed to disclose\nthat:\n\n(1) Dick’s cleanup efforts concerning Foot Locker’s inventory were not\ncomplete, and, in fact, Foot Locker remained saddled with unproductive and\nstagnant legacy footwear; \n(2) Foot Locker heavily relied on legacy footwear products that were\nparticularly vulnerable to intensifying promotional pressures across the\nathletic footwear industry; \n(3) in turn, Dick’s was significantly exposed to an industry-wide\nenvironment of excess inventory and resulting promotional activity; \n(4) accordingly, Dick’s was unable to achieve the sales growth, margins, and\nprofits it touted to investors; and \n(5) as a result, defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s\nbusiness, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading\nand/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.\n\nWhy Did DKS Stock Drop?\n\nPlaintiff alleges that on August 25, 2026, Dick’s reported disappointing\nsecond-quarter 2026 results, which included revenue of $1.73 billion from Foot\nLocker that fell well short of analysts’ estimates of $1.81 billion.\nDick’s also reduced its net sales guidance for full-year 2026 and disclosed\nthat it expected Foot Locker’s proforma comparable sales to yield a range of\nnegative 2.0% to 0.0% for the year—down from Dick’s prior forecast of 1.5%\nto 3% growth.\n\nIn the related press release, Dick’s Executive Chairman of the Board of\nDirectors Edward W. Stack revealed that the athletic footwear marketplace had\nbecome “increasingly promotional,” which significantly impacted the Foot\nLocker business because of its “greater exposure to legacy footwear” and\n“dependence on footwear launch and retro product.” On this news, the price\nof Dick’s common stock fell $55.02 per share, or approximately 30%, to a\nclosing price of $124.31 per share on August 25, 2026.\n\nWho May Be Eligible to Participate in the Dick's Class Action?\n\nThe lawsuit seeks to represent investors who purchased or otherwise acquired\nDick's Sporting Goods, Inc. common stock between September 8, 2025 and August\n24, 2026. Investors who suffered losses during that period may have legal\nrights under the federal securities laws.\n\nWhat Is a Lead Plaintiff?\n\nThe lead plaintiff is a court-appointed investor who represents the interests\nof all class members throughout the litigation. Shareholders who wish to lead\nthe case should contact Robbins LLP before the November 3, 2026, lead\nplaintiff deadline.\n\nServing as lead plaintiff is not required to share in any potential recovery.\nInvestors who do not seek appointment may remain absent class members if the\ncase proceeds and later resolves successfully.\n\nDoes It Cost Anything to Participate?\n\nNo. Robbins LLP represents investors on a contingency fee basis.\n\nListen to our podcast\n(https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=MoEKSRgc7v2vibULM2ZaKPbeM4ZbS2Rl4QWN7JrSPX2rKQ8Uvb55agaf2LX_tEvO8RSmbIYBMTlcheAceJPrAMIQQoz5k8o7RwOpm_47G8XfSjY64aBs-ZT1GzYprIKA)\n\nWhy Robbins LLP?\n\nA recognized leader in shareholder rights litigation, Robbins LLP\n(https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=MMJQlMbroITwnGpjS3XfmfXNn_PSPX64ou8Xsbnb6kPqMkMBOUb2LArKUtHEskVCZMb0PFYWWnv8GFv4dkk2eA==)\nrepresents investors in securities fraud and shareholder derivative\nlitigation.
