    Academy Sports and Outdoors (ASO) is leaning into exclusive partnerships, becoming the first major retailer to carry Hunt Tech's HUNT Refined Repellent line while also backing HYROX North America events across key markets.

    Against that backdrop, Academy Sports and Outdoors has seen its share price climb. The 30 day share price return is 21.49% and the 90 day gain is 21.91%, while the 1 year total shareholder return sits at 25.01% and the 5 year total shareholder return is 34.10%. This points to stronger recent momentum than the longer term track record.

    Academy Sports and Outdoors has rallied hard, yet the shares still sit at a large stated discount to one fair value estimate while only modestly below analyst targets. Is that a mispricing or sensible caution after the run?

    Most Popular Narrative: 50% Undervalued

    Academy Sports and Outdoors last closed at $59.20, while the most followed narrative pegs fair value at $59.50 using a 9.53% discount rate and a detailed cash flow build. This frames the recent share price strength against a valuation that still screens as materially cheap.

    Acceleration in Academy Sports and Outdoors e-commerce, with double-digit growth and rising penetration plus expanded same-day delivery through DoorDash, Uber Eats and Instacart and the move to AI-based site search, positions the company to capture a larger share of online sporting goods spending and support future revenue and earnings growth.
