Dear Reader,
NVIDIA's CEO publicly called quantum computing "15-30 years away."
Then quietly started hiring quantum engineers.
Why the contradiction?
Because he knows what's coming. And it threatens NVIDIA's entire empire.
While everyone chases overpriced AI stocks, this unknown $20 company quietly cornered the market on quantum computing's most essential ingredient.

DICKS's Sporting Goods Stock Dropped After Earnings—Is It a Buy?
Written by Chris Markoch. Published 8/30/2025.
Key Points
- DKS stock falls 3.8% after a beat-and-raise earnings report, highlighting investor caution.
- Elevated short interest and valuation premium weigh on the stock despite strong fundamentals.
- Technical patterns suggest support at $208–$190 and potential upside toward $220–$230.
It's become a familiar pattern: DICK's Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE: DKS) delivered a solid earnings report, yet the stock fell sharply afterward. On Thursday, DKS shares dropped as much as 3.79% in midday trading—off their session lows but still under pressure.
That decline underscores the cautious sentiment weighing on many retail stocks this earnings season and highlights lingering concerns about the sustainability of consumer spending and potential headwinds in DICK's business model.

Often, investors will overlook stocks just because they're cheap.
It's a common thought that a cheap price tag means that something must be wrong with the company.
But this couldn't be further from the case in many instances.
Nevertheless, the stock may ultimately benefit from its seasonal strength and its ongoing evolution as an omnichannel retailer.
Why Good Wasn't Good Enough
DICK's beat expectations on both revenue and earnings per share, but the beats were modest. Revenue came in at $3.65 billion, just above forecasts of $3.61 billion, while EPS of $4.38 topped estimates of $4.30. Year-over-year, revenue rose about 5% and EPS held flat, which helps explain the muted reaction.
Management highlighted strong back-to-school sales, along with gains in team sports and outdoor categories, healthy same-store sales growth and better inventory management. Despite those wins, analysts appeared to have largely priced in the upside.
Margins expanded thanks to operational efficiencies and improved digital fulfillment, signaling that the company's fundamentals remain solid. On the acquisition front, DICK's expects to close its purchase of Foot Locker on Sept. 8, adding an estimated $100 million to $125 million in revenue. It also plans to open roughly 16 House of Sport and 15 Fieldhouse locations during 2025.
3 Reasons Why Investors May Be Cautious
Despite the beat-and-raise quarter—DICK's lifted its full-year comparable sales outlook to 2%–3.5% (from 1%–3%) and increased its EPS guidance to $13.90–$14.50 (from $13.80–$14.40)—investors remain hesitant. Here are three key concerns:
- Valuation Premium – At about 16x forward earnings, DKS trades above its historical average. While not extreme for retail, the multiple leaves little margin for error.
- Short Interest – Elevated short interest ahead of earnings suggests some traders were positioned to profit from post-report volatility, likely amplifying the sell-off.
- Profit-Taking and Technical Pressure – After a strong run, some investors are locking in gains. Resistance levels and momentum indicators helped trigger a classic "sell the news" pullback.
Is It Time to Buy the Dip in DKS?
On MarketBeat's analyst consensus, Telsey Advisory Group reiterated its Outperform rating and maintained a $255 price target, roughly 13% above the current consensus.
Yet with DKS up 23% since its last earnings release, investors may want to wait and see if this pullback is merely a knee-jerk reaction or the start of a broader correction. On the bullish side, the stock chart shows a golden cross—a signal often associated with sustained upside momentum. If buyers return, DKS could retest near-term resistance at $220 or even revisit prior highs around $230.
Conversely, continued volatility and profit-taking could push shares toward support near $208, just below the 200-day SMA. A break there might open the door to levels between $185 and $190.
