Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Dick’s Sporting Goods’ (DKS) Q3 2024 earnings call.
Dick’s Sporting Goods (DKS) is a US sporting goods retailer with brick-and-mortar stores and a digital platform. House of Sport (stores with goods as well as experiences like rock climbing, batting cages, golf simulators, and more) and next-generation 50,000 square-foot locations (which it calls Field House) continue to be major catalysts for excitement, attention, and traffic. On the digital side, DKS touched on its GameChanger app, a premier live-streaming, scheduling, communications, and scorekeeping platform for youth sports, which is expected to hit $100M in revenue this year. More broadly, management sounded bullish on sports, given the hype around women’s basketball, college football, and the World Cup in the US. In its latest report, DKS posted a 4.2% increase in comp sales driven by growth in back-to-school categories like footwear and team sports. Despite better-than-expected results, the stock fell 1.4% in reaction to the report on 11/26…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Best Buy’s (BBY) Q3 2025 earnings call.
Best Buy (BBY) is a leading specialty retailer of consumer electronics like laptops, smartphones, home appliances, and gaming equipment. BBY is also a major player in tech services through its Geek Squad. Its operations provide a lens into consumer spending habits, technology adoption trends, and the dynamics of the electronics supply chain. BBY’s Q3 resulted in a 2.9% decline in comparable sales, as demand softened in September and October due to macroeconomic uncertainty and pre-election distractions. Despite that, categories like computing and tablets saw 5.2% growth, driven by strong laptop sales (+7%). Despite a highly promotional retail environment, targeted pricing strategies and cost controls kept profitability on track. The company anticipates Q4 comparable sales to range from flat to -3%, buoyed by early Black Friday promotions. BBY shares fell almost 5% in reaction to the results…

Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Target‘s (TGT) Q3 2024 earnings call.
Target (TGT) is a US retailer with over 1,900 locations that serve millions of shoppers nationwide along with a growing digital platform across essentials, home goods, apparel, beauty, and groceries. This quarter was challenging for TGT given 0.3% comparable sales growth driven by a 2.4% increase in traffic but offset by a 2% drop in average ticket size as cautious consumers gravitated toward promotions. Digital sales jumped 11% thanks largely to same-day delivery, which grew 20%. Strength is essentials and beauty was offset by ongoing softness in discretionary categories like home and hardlines. The company faced supply chain disruptions, including port strikes and higher inventory costs, but took proactive measures to protect holiday readiness. One interesting note in category performance: management noted that nutrition categories “performed very well.” Perhaps this is the RFK Jr. MAHA trend starting to take shape, not only discouraging toxins but also encouraging healthy choices? While competitor Walmart (WMT) outperformed, TGT missed estimates across the board and lowered guidance, sending the stock plummeting 21.3% on 11/20…
