ASO--
Academy Sports and Outdoors' adjusted net income for Q2 was $125.4 million, a decrease of 12.1% from the same period last year. The company attributed this decline to increased selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses, which rose to 25.3% of sales compared to 23.8% last year. The company also opened three new stores in Florida, Virginia, and West Virginia, bringing its total to 306 locations across 21 states [2].
Looking ahead, Academy Sports and Outdoors has revised its fiscal 2025 guidance. The company now expects adjusted EPS of $5.60 to $6.30, up from its previous outlook of $5.45 to $6.25. Additionally, the company has lifted its fiscal 2025 sales outlook to $6.00 to $6.265 billion, compared to its earlier guidance of $5.970 to $6.265 billion [1].
Despite the mixed results, shares of Academy Sports and Outdoors fell 7.6% to close at $49.50 in the pre-market trade on the Nasdaq. The company's focus on value and strategic initiatives, such as eCommerce growth and new store openings, appears to be gaining traction, but profitability remains a concern.
