DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc., a leading retailer of sporting goods and athletic apparel, is facing a securities fraud lawsuit following a significant drop in its stock price. The lawsuit, filed by Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC, alleges that the company failed to disclose material information during the period from September 8, 2025, to August 24, 2026.
On August 25, 2026, DICK'S Sporting Goods disclosed disappointing financial results for the second quarter of 2026. The company reported adjusted earnings per share of $3.53, below analysts' estimates of $3.76, and revenue of $1.73 billion from its Foot Locker business, which fell short of analysts' forecasts of $1.81 billion. In response, the company reduced its full-year 2026 consolidated net sales guidance, now expecting Foot Locker's proforma comparable sales to range from negative 2.0% to 0.0% for the year, down from its previous forecast of 1.5% to 3% growth.
In a related press release, Executive Chairman of the Board Edward W. These factors, combined with increasingly promotional conditions across the athletic footwear and apparel marketplace, contributed to the company's revised outlook.
The stock price of DICK'S Sporting Goods plummeted by approximately 30% on the day of the announcement, closing at $124.31 per share, on unusually heavy trading volume. This decline followed a period of relative stability, with the stock experiencing a 30% drop since the beginning of the Class Period.
Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC, a boutique securities litigation law firm, is representing investors who purchased DICK'S Sporting Goods common stock during the Class Period. The firm is reminding investors with substantial losses that they have until November 3, 2026, to file a lead plaintiff application in the securities class action lawsuit.
According to the lawsuit, DICK'S Sporting Goods and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, which violated federal securities laws. The case, titled Plumbers & Pipefitters Local Union #295 Pension Fund v. DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc., et al., is pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.
