Check out the companies making headlines in midday trading.
Dick's Sporting Goods — The retail stock tumbled nearly 24% after Dick's reported a rare earnings miss and slashed guidance for the year, due in part to an uptick in store theft.

Macy's — The department store stock sank 11% after Macy's reiterated its cautious full-year outlook. Macy's said it expects adjusted earnings per share between $2.70 and $3.20, adding it sees comparable store sales falling between 6% and 7.5%.
