Lawsuit alleges Gildan inflated revenues via channel stuffing before acquiring HanesBrands, causing stock to drop 18%.

A securities class action has been filed against Gildan Activewear, accusing the company of inflating revenues through aggressive channel stuffing to meet short-term targets before its December 2025 acquisition of HanesBrands. The lawsuit claims Gildan misled investors by overstating growth and synergies while inventory levels were unsustainable. Following a critical report in June 2026 exposing these practices, Gildan's stock price fell over 18%. Former HanesBrands shareholders who received Gildan shares in the acquisition and suffered losses may have legal rights to join the lawsuit.
