Janney Montgomery Scott maintains a 'Neutral' on Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS) price target of $55.00.

Analyst, Eric Tracy, said, "This morning, DKS reported 2Q EPS of $0.65, in line with our estimate a penny above consensus and vs. guidance of $0.62-$0.63. Top-line growth of +10.0% (to $1,437 million) was slightly less than our +11.3%, driven by a lower comp increase vs. our model (+3.8% vs. our/consensus +5.0%/+3.5%)."

"DKS also took a $32 million impairment charge on its investment in JJB (weakening macro in Europe, unfavorable weather, and lackluster Euro Cup sales); however, we suspect a portion of JJB's miscues are company specific vs. market induced."

Tracy will be looking for conference call comments on 2H outlook, eCommerce/digital investments, inventory positioning, JJB investment, consumer spending/environment, and shop-in-shops namely Nike (NYSE: NKE) and Under Armour (NYSE: UA)
