Academy Sports Stock Falls Below $13 IPO Price in First Day of Trading
Shares of Academy Sports & Outdoors may have dropped below their $13 initial public offering price on their first day of trading, but CEO Ken Hicks is still excited that the sporting goods discount store chain went public. The next steps for the Katy, Texas, retailer include paying down its $1.4 billion in debt, adding more stores, and giving people more of a reason to come into their existing 259 stores, said Hicks, who is also Academy’s (ticker: ASO) chairman and president. This is good for Academy Sports, which sells outdoor sporting equipment—such as tents, kayaks, and hiking backpacks—in addition to athletic gear and hunting clothing and gear.
