Rhea AI DKS FY2026

Higher sales volume did not create operating leverage; a bigger, more capital-hungry footprint kept less profit per dollar.

From FY2025 to FY2026, revenue added $3.8B, but gross profit rose only $842M, showing that the new sales came with thinner merchandise economics. At the same time, SG&A outgrew gross profit, pushing operating margin down from 11.0% to 6.4% — expansion without the usual fixed-cost payoff.

Operating cash flow stayed near $1.54B, but free cash flow dropped to $400M as capital spending stepped up and more working cash sat in inventory. That means the stores still convert sales into operating cash, yet maintaining the larger platform now consumes far more of that cash before it can reach owners.

Short-term liquidity remains workable at 1.5x current ratio, but the cushion has narrowed as inventory climbed to $4.91B, making the business more dependent on efficient stock turns. Goodwill rising from $246M to $864M also suggests the FY2026 sales jump came from enlarging the business base, not just running the old one harder.
