Foot Locker's 15min chart: RSI Overbought, KDJ Death Cross detected.

Foot Locker's 15-minute chart exhibits several indicators of potential weakness. Firstly, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has reached an overbought level, suggesting that the stock price has risen too rapidly and is no longer supported by fundamental factors. Additionally, the KDJ Death Cross, which occurs when the KDJ index crosses below its 9-day average, has been triggered at 09/04/2025 14:45. This indicates a shift in momentum towards the downside and a potential decrease in the stock price.

Title: Foot Locker's Financial Performance and Upcoming Merger

Foot Locker, Inc. has released its Form 10-Q report for the second quarter of 2025, offering insights into the company's financial and operational performance. Despite challenges in store sales, Foot Locker demonstrated resilience through strategic initiatives and a shift towards online sales channels.

# Financial Highlights

Total revenue for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2025, was $1,857 million, reflecting a 2.4% decrease compared to the prior-year period. This decline was primarily due to lower store sales [1].

The gross margin for the period was 27.1%, down 50 basis points from the prior-year period. This decrease was driven by increased promotional activities and lower vendor allowances [1].

Foot Locker reported a loss from operations of $(26) million, compared to $(9) million in the prior-year period. This was impacted by lower sales and gross margin [1].

The company's net loss for the period was $(38) million, compared to $(12) million in the prior-year period. This was influenced by impairment charges and lower operating income [1].

The diluted loss per share was $(0.39) for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2025, compared to $(0.13) in the prior-year period, reflecting the increased net loss [1].

# Business Highlights

Foot Locker experienced a decrease in store sales by 4.8% for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2025, and a 5.6% decrease for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2025. However, direct-to-customer sales increased by 10.6% and 7.2% for the same periods, respectively, indicating a shift towards online sales channels [1].

In North America, constant currency sales increased due to strong product offerings and improved sales conversion, despite a decline in WSS sales. EMEA experienced a decline in sales due to macroeconomic uncertainty and strategic store closures, while Asia Pacific sales were negatively impacted by macroeconomic headwinds and competitive pressures, partially offset by e-commerce growth [1].

Foot Locker operated 2,354 stores as of August 2, 2025, down from 2,410 stores at February 1, 2025, and 2,464 stores at August 3, 2024. This reflects strategic closures of underperforming locations [1].

# Future Outlook

Foot Locker is implementing strategic initiatives to improve profitability, particularly for the WSS banner and European operations. The company is focusing on merchandising, supply chain activities, and cost optimization. Additionally, Foot Locker plans to open approximately 70 'Reimagined' Foot Locker and Kids Foot Locker stores, primarily through conversions or relocations of existing stores [1].

# Upcoming Merger

Dick’s Sporting Goods is set to acquire Foot Locker, with the merger expected to close next week. The deal is worth about $2.4 billion, according to WPXI and the Pittsburgh Business Times. Foot Locker shareholders had the option to choose between receiving $24.00 in cash or 0.1168 shares of Dick’s Sporting Goods common stock for each of their shares [2].

Preliminary results show that approximately 92.6% of Foot Locker shareholders elected to receive stock consideration, while 1.2% opted for cash. Around 6.2% of shareholders did not make a valid election, and these shareholders will receive cash consideration for their shares [2].

The merger between Dick’s Sporting Goods and Foot Locker marks a significant consolidation in the sporting goods retail sector [2].
