Frequently asked questions
What is Academy Sports Outdoors Inc's revenue?
Academy Sports Outdoors Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $6.14B. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is ASO?
In its most recent fiscal year, ASO ran a gross margin of 34.78%, an operating margin of 8.46%, and a net margin of 6.22%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does ASO generate?
ASO produced $222.13M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is ASO's balance sheet healthy?
ASO holds $330.32M in cash and equivalents against $480.79M in long-term debt, on $2.17B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
