Dick's Sporting Goods Stock Plummets 3.68% Amid Surging $480M Trading Volume Ranking 232nd Most Active

On September 29, 2025, Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS) closed with a 3.68% decline, despite a 62.43% surge in trading volume to $480 million, ranking 232nd in market activity. The stock's performance contrasted with broader market trends, highlighting sector-specific pressures.

Recent developments suggest shifting consumer behavior in the sporting goods sector. Retailers face challenges from seasonal demand fluctuations and inventory management strategies. Analysts note that promotional activities and inventory clearance efforts have historically impacted short-term stock volatility for the company.

Market participants are closely monitoring supply chain dynamics and consumer spending patterns. The company's recent operational adjustments, including store optimization initiatives and digital channel expansion, remain central to investor sentiment. However, near-term earnings expectations remain cautious amid macroeconomic uncertainties.

To run this back-test properly we need to know exactly which stocks will constitute the "top-500-by-volume" universe on each trading day. At the moment the platform’s data-retrieval tools can back-test a user-supplied list of tickers, but they can’t (yet) auto-generate and re-balance a portfolio across the whole U.S. market each day. Could you let me know one of the following? A specific, finite list of tickers you’d like to treat as the investable universe, or whether you’d prefer a simplified proxy instead of constructing the daily 500-stock portfolio explicitly. Once I have that clarification I can generate the data-retrieval plan and run the back-test for you.
