“Dick’s Sporting Goods reported first quarter earnings in which the company reported better-than-feared results driven by strong ecommerce sales growth that assisted in replacing lost brick and mortar sales as a result of store closures due to COVID-19. In addition to posting quarterly results that were better-thanfeared, Dick’s is viewed as a company that should be a long-term survivor that is poised to take market share in the sporting goods industry.”
