Securities Fraud Investigation Launched Against Gildan Activewear Over Channel Stuffing Allegations
GIL is trading near its 52-week low of $46 (13% above the low).
Summary
A securities law firm has launched an investigation into Gildan Activewear for potential securities fraud, alleging the company engaged in channel stuffing to inflate revenue. This follows a significant 18.75% stock decline on June 16, 2026, after an activist report from Jehoshaphat Research made similar accusations. The formal investigation by a law firm escalates the legal and financial risks for Gildan, potentially leading to class action lawsuits and further reputational damage.
