Shares of e-commerce, retail, and apparel stocks are trading lower following greater-than-expected inflation data measured through the PCE price index for February, while personal spending missed estimates. Additionally, recent tariff announcements may be weighing on equities.

LULU

Shares of retail, apparel, and e-commerce companies are trading higher amid overall market strength on reports of potentially narrowed or targeted tariffs, which may be easing investor concerns.

On Friday, JPMorgan analyst Christopher Horvers reiterated the Neutral rating on Academy Sports and Outdoors, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASO#NASDAQ">ASO</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ASO/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">raising the price forecast to $54 from $52.</a>
Yesterday, the firm reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.96,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44421964/academy-sports-beats-q4-eps-estimates-comparable-sales-dip-3" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the street view of $1.83</a>.&nbsp;Quarterly sales of $1.676 billion (down 6.6% year over year) missed the analyst consensus estimate of $1.677 billion by a hairline.
The analyst notes that Academy Sports has made progress in improving new store site selection for the second half of 2024, following underwhelming performance when it initially started its unit growth story in 2022.

Furthermore, the company's IT improvements and plans show promise in enhancing the performance of its existing stores, Horvers writes.
Academy Sports is also expanding its Nike, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) product assortment to 145 of its 300+ locations, as well as on its website, starting this April, aiming to compete with Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKS#NYSE">DKS</a>) for brand access.
However, Horvers points out that the macroeconomic environment presents challenges for Academy Sports, particularly compared to competitors like Dick&#8217;s Sporting, due to its higher exposure to lower-income consumers.
Despite this, the analyst remains neutral on Academy Sports, acknowledging its attractive valuation but expressing &#8220;uncertainty&#8221; about how much growth the company can achieve given the current market conditions.
The analyst models 1Q/FY25 comps of -3.5%/flat, respectively.
Price Action: ASO shares are trading higher by 1.14% to $47.96 at last check Friday.

Stifel: Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods' fourth-quarter net sales grew 6.4% to $3,894 million, beating Street expectations of $3,777 million, Duffy said in a note. The earnings beat was not as substantial, mainly due to below-the-line items, he added.
Management's earnings guidance for 2025 came in at a range of $13.80 to $14.40 per share, falling short of prevailing estimates, the analyst stated. "Increased inventory near-term supports potential comp upside in spring '25 but adds markdown risk should business slow," he further wrote.
Telsey Advisory Group: Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods delivered another quarterly of "strong performance," with comps of 6.4% and earnings of $3.62 per share beating consensus of 3.1% and $3.52 per share, respectively, Feldman said. The company delivered a comp beat despite difficult comparisons and a relatively challenging consumer environment, he added.
In 2024, Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods maintained its position as the largest US sporting goods retailer and grew its market share by around 50 basis points to about 9.0%, the analyst stated. The lower-than-expected earnings guidance for 2025 "mainly reflect investments in long-term strategic growth initiatives, weighing on near-term profitability," as the company is "accelerating growth of its new store concepts, House of Sport and Field House, which have been received well," he further wrote.
Goldman Sachs: Dick's Sporting Goods delivered a "solid" quarter, with healthy comps, margins and earnings, McShane said. The current momentum in the company's business, investments in digital and footwear as well as market share gains will support comps, she added.
Dick's Sporting Goods plans to continue growing its store concepts, including House of Sport, Field House, and Golf Galaxy Performance Center, the analyst stated. "We expect GameChanger and Dick's Media Network to remain important discussion points in FY25, which will serve as margin drivers and potentially result in multiple expansion over time," she further wrote.
Wedbush: Although Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods' quarterly results "handily beat" consensus estimates, the 2025 comps and earnings guidance missed expectations, Basham said. The guidance came below consensus "even without including any impact from tariffs.&#8221;
Basham sees &#8220;more positives than negatives,&#8221; citing market share gains and strong gross margins supported by an assortment of premium products, strategic inventory investments, experiential retail concepts that are resonating, a strong eCommerce business, an impressive adjacent business in GameChanger and an emerging retail media network.
Guggenheim Securities: Dick's quarterly results "broadly exceeded our expectations," management&#8217;s 2025 outlook fell short, "with net capital expenditures needs ramping to over 7.0% of net sales," Forbes said.
The company&#8217;s "broad-based investment agenda" includes increasing square footage, technology investments and marketing expenses, the analyst stated. This indicates Dick Sporting Goods "is entering 2025 with an elevated breakeven comp profile.&#8221;
Price Action: Shares of Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods had declined by 1.62% to $195.75 at the time of publication on Wednesday.

Dan Loeb Pulls Plug On Bath & Body Works Stake As Sales Decline

Wall Street's losing streak extended into Tuesday, with stocks deepening their slump as continued trade war fears rattled investor sentiment. 
The Nasdaq 100 slipped 0.6% by midday trading in New York after suffering on Monday its worst single-day drop since September 2022<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44255030/nasdaq-100-trades-below-its-200-day-moving-average-history-says-you-should-buy-the-dip-now"> in the prior session. </a>
The broader S&amp;P 500 slid to a seven-month low, amplifying concerns over the market's near-term trajectory.
The proportion of S&amp;P 500 stocks trading above their 200-day moving average has now shrunk to 44%, the lowest since November 2023. Each sector traded in the red, highlighting broad-based market weakness. 
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was the biggest underperformer on Tuesday, with industrial stocks bearing the brunt of escalating trade tensions.
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump escalated trade tensions by raising tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum imports to 50%, responding to Ontario's move to levy a 25% tariff on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44253100/trump-slaps-50-tariff-on-canadian-steel-aluminum-threatens-auto-industry">electricity exports to the U.S. </a>
In a Truth Social post, Trump announced he had instructed the Commerce secretary to enforce the additional 25% tariff, which will take effect Wednesday morning.
On the macroeconomic front, job openings in the U.S. showed unexpected resilience, rising by 232,000 to 7.74 million in January from a downwardly revised 7.51 million in December. The reading exceeded market forecasts of 7.63 million, suggesting positive labor market news despite broader economic jitters.
The U.S. dollar continued its descent, with the dollar index slipping to six-month lows. Treasury yields edged higher ahead of Wednesday's closely watched inflation report for February, signaling that investors were not rushing into safe-haven bonds despite the ongoing market turbulence.
Commodities, meanwhile, found favor as investors sought inflation hedges. Gold advanced 1%, silver surged 2.3% and copper climbed 3%, reflecting renewed demand for tangible assets in a climate of heightened financial instability.
Bitcoin endured a wild session, initially plunging to an intraday low of $76,600 — its lowest level since Nov. 10, 2024 — before rebounding to post a 3.9% gain on the day.
