Fair value estimate
Estimate unreliable for DKS: free cash flow is squeezed by a capital-spending surge (capex is 85% of operating cash flow over the last 12 months, vs 39% in FY2023), so a DCF on today's free cash flow would understate the business. We’d rather show nothing than a made-up number.
Risk vs market
How risk vs market is measured
One year of daily returns (Oct 30 to Oct 30, 252 sessions). Beta = how much DKS moved for each 1% move in the S&P 500 (SPY); 1.0 moves with the market. Volatility is the yearly standard deviation of daily returns. Past behavior, not a forecast.
Moves a bit less than the market, but its own price swings are 3.7× the S&P 500’s (it moves on its own news).
