Big 5 Sporting Goods Corp., as expected, reported sales and earnings in the third quarter came in below year-ago levels, but earnings arrived at the higher end of guidance, and sales exceeded pre-pandemic 2019 levels. Fourth-quarter same-store sales are projected to decrease in the high single-digit to low double-digit range.
