Dick's Sporting Goods, the retail market share leader in sporting goods, will acquire Foot Locker, the world's largest specialty footwear retailer, for $2.4 billion, nearly tripling total store count, expanding its global presence and further solidifying leadership in both the performance athletic sector and the broader sneaker and sportswear markets.

The market's 14% sell-off in DKS stock after the Foot Locker acquisition is an overreaction, pricing in an unrealistically dire scenario.
