Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Dick's Sporting Goods stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "DICK’S Sporting has underperformed the industry in the last three months. This could be largely due to the soft performance in first-quarter fiscal 2017. However, the company is persistently gaining from the consolidation in the sporting goods space, and opportunities arising from the liquidation of rival firms. Further, a robust e-commerce performance, continued market share gains and its latest merchandising strategy bode well. Also, the potential liquidation of Gander Mountain should boost DICK’S Sporting’s market share, though it may hurt third-quarter sales. Given this short-term hurdle and the current trends, management tweaked its fiscal 2017 sales view, while retaining its earnings outlook. Macroeconomic hurdles also remain a concern. Second quarter estimate has been going down lately ahead of the earnings release. However, the company has a positive record of earnings surprises in recent quarters." (7/27/2017)
• 2. Credit Suisse Group analysts commented, "We hosted meetings with DKS management: We believe the company is doing some very positive things to transition its model, add new layers of differentiation, add new growth drivers, and leverage its power in the industry. That said, it’s difficult to see the stock working until, first, it clears the difficult 2H comparison hurdle, and second, like many other retailers, it provides better visibility on the investment outlook (which should be forthcoming) and EPS growth trajectory past 2017. Our key question looking to next year is whether the multiple margin drivers DKS has will be powerful enough to offset continued investments: Management appeared optimistic about the benefits from vendor restructuring, improving online economics by transitioning the platform in house, and recent cost reductions." (6/29/2017)
• 3. Citigroup Inc. analysts commented, "We believe the 8.6% post-earnings drop presents investors with an excellent buying opportunity. DKS reported better than expected 4Q16 results on both the top and bottom lines in a very difficult retail environment. The stock's reaction is a function of FY17 comp/ EPS guidance coming in short of consensus. DKS has a long history of providing conservative guidance, and the latest guide is no different. DKS initial FY16 SSS/EPS guide was 0-2%/ $2.85-$3.00 vs. actuals of 3.5%/$3.12. Upside was achieved despite TSA bankruptcy disruptions. Lately, we have seen way too many hockey stick-type recoveries embedded in retailers' outlooks, despite uninspiring trends. DKS, on the other hand, has put up solid SSS numbers, positive traffic, expanding gross margins, and clean inventory . . . yet guided prudently based on what the company is seeing today, not the opportunities of tomorrow. We argue that DKS will develop into a beat-and-raise story as we progress throughout FY17." (3/8/2017)
• 4. Guggenheim analysts commented, " Since our initiation back in September 2016, we have been cautious on DKS (NEUTRAL, $52.61) shares due to a combination of elevated 2017 consensus expectations and an above-average valuation. Although valuation has moderated over the past 5-6 months, with the shares down ~14% since late September versus the S&P 500's 11% increase, out-year expectations have not yet. As a result, we expect a negative reaction to today's print, despite an in-line 4Q result, as initial 2017 guidance of $3.65-3.75 compares to the $3.77 consensus and stands significantly below some of the more bullish EPS forecast, which approach $4.00. We reiterate our Neutral rating and await a more attractive entry point." (3/7/2017)
