Event Summary

On June 16, 2026, Jehoshaphat Research published a short report alleging that Gildan engaged in channel stuffing and improper revenue recognition to inflate its revenue. The report claimed that Gildan's organic growth has been negative for years and that the company used financial engineering to obscure the decline. Following the report, Gildan's stock price fell 18.7% (or 18.8%), wiping out $2.15 billion in market capitalization. Multiple law firms, including Pomerantz LLP, Girard Sharp, Rosen Law Firm, Hagens Berman, Bronstein Gewirtz & Grossman, Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP, and Law Offices of Howard G. Smith, have launched investigations into potential securities fraud. The investigations focus on whether Gildan and its officers/directors violated federal securities laws. Former Hanesbrands investors who received Gildan shares in the December 2025 merger are also being solicited. The SEC whistleblower program is mentioned as a potential avenue for informants.
