Dick’s Sporting Goods Makes A Courageous Political Statement

[boedicca]

Oopsie! Getting woke and going broke! Same store sales drop 6% due to the anti-gun policy.

Sales at Dick's Sporting Goods dropped in the past three months amid backlash against tighter gun-sale restrictions following a mass killing early this year at a Florida high school.

Revenue dipped 4.5 percent to $1.86 billion amid challenges in the company's hunting business during the quarter through Nov. 3. Sales at stores open at least 12 months – a key metric for the retail industry – fell 6.1 percent compared to the prior year.

Dick's Sporting Goods admits suffering gun policy backlash as sales slide

Despite lower sales, cost management and a higher margin helped the Pittsburgh-based sporting goods chain boost profit 2.5 percent to $37 million. Stack is investing in new bricks-and-mortar stores, opening six in the quarter, and bolstering the firm's e-commerce business, where sales climbed 16 percent.

If they are going to rely on the Moon Bats to be their purchasing base then they will be lucky to get 2.5% growth in a booming economy.

Moon Bats are usually on welfare and can't afford Dick's bloated prices.

You should have checked their stock price before making a public fool of yourself.

Dick's stock price is 26 percent higher than a year ago.

The predicted crash in their stock price by tards like yourself didn't happen.

A lot of stocks are higher than a year ago. They've been downgraded and are going go fall further.

Gun sales are down across the board since Trump took office.

It's like I said. The gun makers and retailers had the best marketing gimmick in history: OBAMAZ CUMMIN FER YER GUNZ BUY MOAR!

I was not joking when I said during the 2016 campaign they were probably hoping for a Clinton presidency: HILLAREEZ CUMMIN FER YER GUNZ BUY MOAR!

Because the rubes never ever learn they are being hoaxed. They fall for the stupidest shit over and over and over and over and over.

"I'll repeal and replace Obamacare on Day One!"

They may be able to hold on in blue states but everyone I know here in Texas wont do business with them.
We'll stick with Academy and Bass Pro.

A 2.5% profit margin on declining sales is not good. And going online is not going to save them.

The board should be sued by stockholders for putting leftist politics before their fiduciary duty.
The boards of most of these companies are leftist. The stockholders should hold them to account. I posted a link in another thread a few months back pointing to a group of lawyers working on this.

So declining sales are a good thing?

Yes he did repeal all he could, if the rhinos had sent the bill he would have signed it.

Yeah, at one time they believed that everybody would have affordable healthcare.

At one time they believed that if you could take guns away from the good people, the bad people will just give the government theirs.

At one time they believed that if we force food vendors to put calorie count on all items they sell, that will make fat people skinny.

They still believe that if a man puts on a dress, that makes him a woman.

Get Woke, Go Broke! Dick's virtue signaling to gun grabbers cost the company $150M last year.

Last February, when Dick’s Sporting Goods boss Ed Stack announced he was restricting gun sales at the country’s largest sports retailer, he knew it’d be costly.

At the time, Dick’s was a major seller of firearms. Guns also drove the sale of soft goods—boots, hats, jackets. What’s more, Stack, the retailer's chief executive officer, suspected the position could drive off some of his customers on political principle.

He was right. Dick’s estimates the policy change cost the company about $150 million in lost sales, an amount equivalent to 1.7 percent of annual revenue. Stack says it was worth it.


Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

No problem. The shareholders can sell their stock and buy tobacco stock, and be responsible for the deaths of even more people.

Stockholders are responsible for the deaths of people who use tobacco products? Who would have thought?

Two weeks after seventeen students and staff members were killed in the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, Dick’s Sporting Goods took steps to limit their sales of firearms. Announcing a policy change, Dick’s would no longer sell any gun to anyone under 21 years of age, regardless of local laws.

In addition to the new policy concerning the age requirement, the company also ended sales of all assault-style rifles and high-capacity magazines in its stores.

Despite a frivolous age discrimination lawsuit filed for Tyler Watson, a 20-year-old boy from Gold Hill, Oregon, Dick’s Sporting Goods is standing firm on this and other policy changes concerning the sales of deadly weapons and other related paraphernalia.

To assure certain dangerous weapons currently in their inventory never wind up in the hands of the wrong people, Dick’s has decided not to return the many items to the manufacturers for reimbursement and redistribution to other dealers. Instead, Dick’s will destroy all such inventory, taking the hit in the company’s bottom line.

A spokeswoman for Dick’s Sporting Goods told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, “ ‘We are in the process of destroying all firearms and accessories that are no longer for sale as a result of our February 28th policy change. We are destroying the firearms in accordance with federal guidelines and regulations.’ ”

The specified weapons will be destroyed at the company’s distribution centers, after which the resulting scrap will sent to a salvage company to be recycled.

Given the growing number of corporations distancing themselves from the NRA, and retailers changing their policies so as to limit people’s ability to purchase dangerous weapons and attachments, it’s apparent times-are-a-changin’.

The surviving students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School have inspired, not only a grassroots movement in school age kids, their parents, and adults nationwide, but also forced radical changes in the U.S. political climate and the corporate mind set.

A few congressional Republicans have shown a willingness to work to pass commonsense gun regulations, while others are beginning to see the writing on the wall. They, like House Speaker Paul Ryan, have tucked their tails between their legs and are resigning or retiring, rather than face the hundreds-of-thousands of high school students who will be 18 YOA, who will definitely vote this November, and will be a major influence in the 2018 mid-term elections.

Dick's Sporting Goods will destroy assault-style rifles pulled from shelves

Cool...Now I can give my bidness to Scheel's and Gander.

Maybe the Trump administration, together with the NRA, should craft a law forbidding Dick's from their decision to stop selling military style semiautomatic rifles to nuts....
