DKS reports earnings next week. Let's see what can get the stock up:



Dick's Sporting Goods Inc (DKS) reports earnings on August 23. Lets take a closer look at how the stock is currently trading.

A consensus of analyst reports suggests Dick's Sporting Goods Inc will report an EPS (earnings per share) of $3.56, $3.33 GAAP, on revenue of $3.07B. Over the last 90 days, analysts have lowered estimates 22 times and not raised them.

If you're a bull you'll primarily care about three things. The first is that the reported EPS beat analysts estimates. The second is that the beat is on higher than expected revenues. Third, that the company guides analysts to robust growth going forward. If all check out, the stock should react accordingly.

Meanwhile, out of a dark cave, DKS bears will lumber into the light. They'll want to hear that the company underperformed the analysts' estimates and is set to decline in coming quarters. The less rosy the report, the happier bears will be.

Whether you're a bear or bull you'll want to be aware that occasionally a stock's price movement is caused by the analysts' estimates changing from the Q&A call with management, rather than from the earnings report itself. As you see more of these, you'll begin to notice patterns in the runup and rundown of the stock's price.

As of August 15 shares of DKS are trading at $107.24. Over the last 52-week period, the price is down -25.94%. A larger move here can mean investors will have a stronger bullish or bearish outlook on the stock.
