Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS), which sells a wide range of sports gear, including golf clubs and fishing rods, fits the bill perfectly.
The company came into the spotlight recently after it suspended sales of modern sporting rifles following the deadly shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. But analysts say those sales only make up a small part of the guns and ammunition business for Dick's. In fact, gun sales have been surging amid worries about the possibility of stricter gun laws.
Meanwhile, overall growth prospects for the sporting goods store are bright as the retailer continues to expand. Dick's also continues to invest in its online store, and is reaping the benefits. E-commerce sales soared nearly 50% in the third quarter, and analysts predict they'll continue to be robust in 2013.
Analysts at JPMorgan Chase have a price target of $61, up more than 25% from current levels.
