Dick's Sporting Goods

Investment-grade (BBB) sporting-goods leader that bought Foot Locker for ~$2.4B in September 2025; S&P revised the outlook to stable from positive as Foot Locker's turnaround is weighing on leverage. Dick's-banner big boxes, including the 'House of Sport' format, are well located but costly to re-lease.
