Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. is a leading sporting goods retailer that sells sports equipment, apparel, footwear, and accessories to retail consumers throughout the United States. DSG is an “omnichannel” retailer, meaning it offers products to consumers in physical store locations as well as online and through mobile apps. The Company has over 700 physical locations across the United States.

A recently filed securities fraud class action complaint alleges that Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc., through certain of its officers and directors, made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) demand for products in Dick’s Outdoor segment was slowing faster than Defendants represented, resulting in excess inventory; (ii) the “structural changes” that Defendants repeatedly touted, including differentiated products, improved pricing technology, and more efficient clearance channels, did not allow the Company to manage its excess inventory without hurting the Company’s profitability; (iii) the need to liquidate excess inventory, including in the Outdoor segment, would have a materially negative effect on the Company’s profitability; and (iv) as a result of (i)-(iii) above, Defendants’ statements about Dick’s business condition and prospects were materially false and misleading when made.

Current Dick’s shareholders who have held Dick’s shares since prior to May 25, 2022 can seek corporate reforms, the return of funds back to the company, and a court approved incentive award at no cost to them whatsoever.
