Results dates follow the earnings feed; call dates follow the transcript provider. Nearby dates do not establish that an event caused a price move.
Management outlook
I think dividend increase of 21% really reflects the increase in the dividend that we made for the full year last year, where we updated our capital allocation policy.
Dominic Platt · Statement from
That has resulted in price investment we've taken and we expect that to continue through the second half.

Short answer
The distress and quality screens read Altman Z 4.02 · Piotroski F 7. Trailing ratios: ROE 15.1% · ROA 4.5% · current ratio 1.51 · earnings yield 10.3% · free-cash-flow yield 24.3%.
What should you watch next at JD Sports Fashion (JDSPY)?
Research dated 2026-09-13.
Watch for updates on comparable-store sales and new store openings, which drive long-term value creation. Monitor international sales trends, particularly Europe where JD Sports maintains dense operations across multiple acquired banners. Debt refinancing timelines should be tracked given the leverage position.
The free cash flow yield is exceptionally high, suggesting the market is pricing in either lower growth or higher risk—track whether those risks materialize. Analyst revenue estimates remain cautious, indicating skepticism about acceleration from current levels.
What management is planning

Dominic Platt ·
That has resulted in price investment we've taken and we expect that to continue through the second half.
Dominic Platt ·
We're not rushing to that, but with around a 20% increase in the full year dividend last year, you can see our intent and we will deliver that over time.

Research dated 2026-09-13; the answers below are from that research, and the full attribution is under Sources. The last 2 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.
Why don't analysts provide earnings forecasts for JD Sports?
Analyst coverage focuses on revenue forecasting rather than earnings, possibly because earnings volatility is high and margin guidance is uncertain given retail cost pressures. Earnings estimates are absent, suggesting consensus forecasting challenges.

Sources — records for every figure on this page (30 figures)
The 30 rows below are exactly the facts the evidence-backed sections of this page printed — the 10-second verdict, the MoonshotScore, price and market value, the five questions with their receipts, and the records behind this page. Known dates and sources are recorded on their own rows; an em dash or UNRECORDED tier preserves a stored observation without inventing either. The quarterly income statement is provider-standardized (FMP) under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 0–9 range — are fixed rather than measured. No number in those sections was generated by a model. The register does not cover quoted third-party headlines, the dated council readings, or the Frequently Asked Questions; each of those says where it came from where it stands.
"As of" is the date the value is true for where the source carries one — a quarter end, a filing date, a price close, the day the score was computed. A cached observation with no source date remains undated; the page publication date is not used as a substitute.
