Sports Authority is gone. Modell's is gone. Dick's Sporting Goods watched both of its biggest competitors collapse and then quietly built a $17 billion business on what they left behind. *Who else is crushing it in retail and how? We have the answer:* When Amazon started undercutting sporting goods chains on price, two of Dick's biggest competitors had nothing left to offer. Dick's made a different bet. It bought Sports Authority's customer list 25 million email addresses for $15 million, then used the data it had already been collecting through its loyalty program to figure out which sport your kid played and when their season started. In 2016, it acquired GameChanger, the app millions of youth sports families use for scoring and stats, so it could nudge you to buy right before you needed gear. Then in 2021, it opened House of Sport: locations with batting cages, golf simulators, and climbing walls. Not a store you shop at a place you keep coming back to. Behind all three moves is a $40B youth sports boom. Dick's didn't just ride it. It built the infrastructure for it. Get the 5-minute newsletter keeping 2M+ innovators in the loop:

Several companies that report earnings results next week may see their stocks get a post-earnings bump, if history is any indication, according to Bespoke Investment Group. More than a dozen firms in the S & P 500 , including Nvidia and Ralph Lauren , are slated to share their financial results with investors, beginning on May 18. The companies span several industries, from electronic testing and measurements to retail and semiconductors. The spate of reports comes as the blockbuster first-quarter financial reporting period is nearing an end. About 90% of S & P 500 firms have reported earnings for the first quarter, per FactSet. Of those companies, 84% posted earnings results that exceeded the mean EPS estimate, marking an exceptionally strong season. Bespoke Investment Group looked through data for S & P 500 companies on next week's calendar that should see some upside. It screened for stocks that met the following criteria: Reporting next week EPS beat rate of 75% or more Earnings day gain of 1% or more Here are a few of the names that made the cut. Nvidia The semiconductor name could get a boost next week, if the stock follows its usual post-earnings trajectory. Its fiscal first-quarter results are scheduled to come out on May 20. The largest stock by market capitalization in the S & P 500 has surged 74% over the past year amid an acceleration in artificial intelligence adoption. Those gains have largely come from the company's data center business, which accounts for about 90% of Nvidia's revenue. The segment includes Nvidia's Vera Rubin Platform, a next-generation AI supercomputing platform and GPU microarchitecture which is slated to debut in the second half of this year. On earnings day, the firm has topped analysts' consensus estimates for its EPS 86% of the time. Shares have gained 1.81% on average following Nvidia's earnings reports. Ralph Lauren The retail stock could see its shares rise following its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings report on May 21, if it...

Bruce Bennett/Getty Images News Bank stocks are attracting renewed interest from investors as speculation mounts that the Federal Reserve may soon raise interest rates. Despite President Donald Trump’s public expectations that incoming Fed Chair Kevin Warsh will cut rates, Regan Capital’s Chief Investment Officer Skyler Weinand believes the central bank may actually be forced to move in the opposite direction. Higher interest rates typically benefit banks by widening their net interest margins—the spread between what they earn on loans and pay on deposits.
