About

Dick's Sporting Goods is the largest sporting goods retailer in the United States, founded in 1948 by Richard Stack in Binghamton, New York, and headquartered in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania. The company was built on the belief that serious athletes and recreational sports enthusiasts deserve a destination retailer with deep product expertise, wide assortment, and service-oriented staff — a positioning that distinguished it from mass-market discounters and catalog retailers. Dick's has grown from a single bait and tackle shop to an 850+ store national chain trading on the NYSE under the ticker DKS, with a mission to serve and inspire athletes and outdoor enthusiasts.\n\nDick's operates across its core Dick's Sporting Goods banner and specialty concepts including Golf Galaxy, Public Lands, and the premium experiential House of Sport format. The company carries an extensive assortment spanning team sports, fitness, golf, hunting, fishing, camping, and apparel from both national brands (Nike, Under Armour, adidas) and proprietary brands including CALIA, Alpine Design, and DSG. Dick's has invested heavily in its omnichannel infrastructure, with same-day delivery, buy-online-pick-up-in-store, and in-store technology upgrades driving a seamless retail experience. Its loyalty program, ScoreCard, has enrolled tens of millions of members.\n\nDick's reported a record FY2024 revenue of $13.4 billion, with comparable store sales up 5.2% and EPS of $14.05. Q4 2024 produced the largest quarterly sales figure in company history at $3.89 billion. These results reflect Dick's competitive moat in a consolidating sporting goods landscape following the bankruptcies of Sports Authority and Modell's, and demonstrate that its premium store format investments, private label expansion, and athlete-centric brand positioning are driving durable share gains in the $50B+ US sporting goods market.

About

Plenty is a San Francisco-based indoor vertical farming company that uses AI, machine learning, and robotics to grow leafy greens and other produce in controlled indoor environments. The company has raised over $940 million from investors including SoftBank Vision Fund, which invested $200 million in 2017, and has positioned itself as the technology leader in data-driven indoor agriculture.\n\nPlenty's farms use precisely controlled light, temperature, humidity, and nutrient conditions to grow crops that are free from pesticides, use 99% less land, and consume significantly less water than conventional field agriculture. The company's AI systems continuously optimize growing conditions based on sensor data, learning to improve yields and quality across crops and growing cycles.\n\nIn 2022, Plenty announced a landmark partnership with Walmart to supply leafy greens from a new large-scale facility in Compton, California. This partnership provided both a major commercial anchor and significant additional funding from Walmart, validating Plenty's technology and business model at scale. The company also operates a dedicated strawberry R&D partnership with Driscoll's, the world's largest berry company, demonstrating the platform's potential beyond leafy greens.
