Description: ASO Academy Sports Outdoors November 08, 2025

Academy Sports + Outdoors (NASDAQ: ASO) operates as a U.S. retailer of sporting-goods, outdoor recreation, apparel and footwear, selling under the Academy, Magellan Outdoors and several private-label brands. Its merchandise is segmented into four divisions: Outdoors (camping, fishing, hunting), Sports & Recreation (fitness equipment, team-sport gear, wheeled goods, electronics), Apparel (seasonal, work and licensed apparel) and Footwear (casual, work, athletic and specialty shoes). The company runs more than 150 stores-concentrated in the Sun Belt and Midwest-and its e-commerce channel accounts for roughly 10% of total sales.

Key data points: FY 2024 comparable sales rose about 5% year-over-year, driven by a 7% increase in in-store traffic and a 12% lift in average transaction value, pushing net sales to approximately $5.3 billion. The sporting-goods sector is highly sensitive to discretionary consumer spending, with employment growth and gasoline prices serving as primary macro drivers of outdoor-recreation demand. Compared with peers, ASO trades at an EV/EBITDA multiple of roughly 9.4× versus the specialty-retail average of 10.2×, indicating a modest valuation discount.
