Goldman Sachs is adding Dicks Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS) to its Conviction Buy list with a price target of $49 (up from $45) on higher estimates.
Keys to the story are strong unit growth, robust new space productivity, and ongoing margin drivers, Goldman said.
On the new $0.50 per share annual dividend, the firm comments, "the initiation of a dividend represents a shift to shareholder-friendly capital allocation."
The firm stands near the 2012 EPS Street high at $2.44. While Q4 may be rocky, they see sales in-line with forecasts and good momentum in Q1 with new drivers helping maintain its margin trajectory.
Goldman also said valuation is appealing for a long-run growth name.
