Why Gildan Activewear Stock Tumbled by 11% This Week

Gildan Activewear's stock dropped 11% after short-seller Jehoshaphat Research published a 60-page critical report accusing the company of channel stuffing, tax malfeasance, and accounting irregularities. The report alleged that Gildan inflated growth numbers by selling excess inventory into distribution channels beyond current demand. Gildan responded with a brief statement defending its disclosure practices.
