While CNBC's Jim Cramer acknowledged Dick's Sporting Goods reported a rough quarter, he thinks Wall Street's reaction was a little extreme. The company's stock tumbled a little over 24% during Tuesday's session. Dick's reported $2.82 earnings per share, significantly less than the $3.81 per share that analysts expected, according to Refinitiv. He said he thinks Dick's new app GameChanger could be a boon for the company. For example, at one of Dick's House of Sport locations in Minnesota, they had a focus on fishing equipment."

Macy's said US consumers have less cash to spend, and are choosing experiences over products. Dick's meanwhile reported an unexpected uptick in inventory shrink, presumably from theft. Macy's, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Lowe's each sounded alarm bells on Tuesday about the financial state of US shoppers, with each company reporting softening profit margins in key categories. Lowe's — like rival Home Depot last week — is seeing weaker demand from its DIY shoppers after a burst of home spending during the pandemic. In a press release, Dick's CEO Lauren Hobart called shrink "an increasingly serious issue impacting many retailers."

New York CNN —Dick’s Sporting Goods warned Tuesday that retail theft is damaging its business and would lead to lower annual profits. Retail “shrink” is a term that refers to merchandise that goes missing due to theft, fraud, damage, accounting errors or other reasons. The retailer reported a large number of incidents of shoplifting and organized retail crime in its stores nationwide. Need and opportunity become forceful catalysts for driving up incidents of retail crime, experts said. According to the National Retail Federation, the industry’s biggest trade group, large-scale store theft is becoming a bigger part of retail shrink.

Dick's now expects earnings of $11.33 to $12.13 per share for the year, compared to a previously issued guidance of $12.90 to $13.80. During the quarter, Dick's used promotions to offload inventory from the category. Overall, inventories were down about 5% in the quarter compared to the year ago period. While the quarter is a bit rough compared to Dick's usual reports, the retailer is still holding on to its pandemic-gains. Same store sales were up 1.8% in the quarter, compared to down 5.1% in the year ago period, and were driven by a 2.8% uptick in transactions.

Dick's Sporting Goods plunged 25% on Tuesday after the company revealed weak second-quarter earnings. The retailer said it saw a decline in profits due to increased shrinkage, which is code for retail theft. The mention of theft hurting its business was a first for Dick's Sporting Goods, and it took analysts by surprise. AdvertisementAdvertisementDick's Sporting Goods was a darling retail stock that has seen strong performance since the COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020. Part of the strength in Dick's Sporting Goods stock in recent years was driven by an increase in business as consumers got out of their house and more active as the pandemic subsided.

However, the number of incidents and the organized retail crime impact came in significantly higher than we anticipated," Gupta said. Gupta said inventory shrink accounted for one-third of the decline in merchandise profits. AdvertisementAdvertisementWhile theft is the largest contributor to inventory shrink, the figure also includes merchandise lost to damage or other errors. The National Retail Federation estimates that retail shrink cost retailers a combined $94.5 billion in 2021, up from $90.8 billion in 2020. AdvertisementAdvertisementEven with the higher rate of shrink, Gupta said the company is in better shape now than it was just a few years ago.

Australia's Defence Minister Richard Marles attends a joint news conference with France's Foreign and Defence ministers at the Quai d'Orsay in Paris, France, January 30, 2023. REUTERS/Sarah Meyssonnier Acquire Licensing RightsSYDNEY, Aug 21 (Reuters) - Australia will spend A$1.3 billion ($833 million) to boost its long-range strike capabilities as it finalised on Monday a deal to buy more than 200 Tomahawk cruise missiles from the United States, part of a wide-ranging defence shake-up. Australia will be only one of three nations to have Tomahawks along with the U.S. and Britain, Defence Minister Richard Marles said. Earlier this year it agreed to work with the United States and Britain to develop a nuclear-powered submarine fleet. In addition to the Tomahawks, Australia would spend about A$431 million to purchase more than 60 advanced anti-radiation guided missiles from the United States, the defence minister said.

German shepherds that were being transported from Chicago to a training center for police dogs in Michigan City, Ind., died in the heat on Thursday after an air-conditioning unit that was being used to keep the animals cool failed, the local authorities said. The Lake Station Police Department, which responded to a chaotic scene at a gas station off the interstate in Lake Station, Ind., did not specify in a statement issued on Friday how many dogs had been en route to the training center or how many had died. The driver had been stuck in a traffic delay for two hours and had not been aware of the air-conditioner’s failure because the dogs were in a separate cargo area, the statement said. The driver was alerted to their distress when he heard some of the dogs barking. The area near Hobart reached highs of at least 91 degrees on Thursday, according to the Chicago forecast office of the National Weather Service.

Shein has denied using forced labor and that it was planning to go public in the U.S. this year. U.S. lawmakers are also questioning Shein's data privacy and use of a U.S. duty exemption on low-priced direct shipments to consumers. Shein's $600,000 lobbying outlay, filed on Friday, does not put it "among the biggest spenders," Auble said. By contrast, U.S. retailers Walmart spent $1.62 million and Gap spent $140,000 in the second quarter, lobbying disclosures showed. Since the 2022 third quarter, Shein has paid lobbying firms Hobart Hallaway & Quayle Ventures $500,000; and Akin, Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld $270,000, the firms' filings showed.

Australian home prices climb for fourth month in June
  + stars: | 2023-07-02 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
REUTERS/David Gray/File PhotoSYDNEY, July 3 (Reuters) - Australian home prices rose for a fourth consecutive month in June as a sustained squeeze on housing supply helped lift values nationwide, data showed on Monday. Property consultant CoreLogic figures showed national home prices were up 1.1% in June from the previous month, after bottoming in February and starting a sustained rise. Every state and territory capital except Tasmania's Hobart recorded higher prices for dwellings, according to CoreLogic. "A slowdown in the pace of capital gains could be a reflection of a change in sentiment as interest rate expectations revise higher," Lawless said. "Higher interest rates and lower sentiment will likely weigh on the number of active home buyers, helping to rebalance the disconnect between demand and supply."
