Description: ASO Academy Sports Outdoors January 11, 2026
Academy Sports + Outdoors, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASO) is a U.S. retailer that sells a broad array of sporting-goods, outdoor, apparel, and footwear products through its Academy, Magellan Outdoors, and several private-label brands. Its merchandise mix spans camping, fishing, and hunting gear; fitness and team-sport equipment; seasonal apparel and footwear; and ancillary items such as electronics, pet supplies, and consumables, all sold in roughly 260 stores concentrated in the Sun Belt and via an expanding e-commerce platform.
Key operating metrics that analysts watch include FY 2023 revenue of approximately $4.6 billion, a comparable-store sales increase of about 7% year-over-year, and an e-commerce growth rate near 15% that is outpacing the broader “Other Specialty Retail” sub-industry. The business is sensitive to discretionary-spending cycles, with inflation-adjusted consumer confidence and gasoline prices historically explaining roughly 30% of quarterly sales variance in the outdoor-recreation segment.
