The speakers discuss the potential growth of Dick's Sporting Goods as a back-to-school stock, highlighting the increasing interest in women's participation in sports and the company's experiential retail strategy. One speaker expresses concern about overspending on the experiential retail concept.
Kids are expensive. Consumers are estimated to spend more than $100 billion on back-to-school shopping this year, according to the National Retail Federation.
Deidre Woollard, Mary Long, and Ricky Mulvey got together to talk about companies that could ride the tailwinds of back-to-school season. They discuss:
-
Why “experiential” spending could be the future, or failure, of one big-box sports retailer
-
If chatbots killed the homework help business
-
And six stocks that play to back-to-school trends
