LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. (“DSG” or the “Company”) (NYSE: DKS) common stock between May 25, 2022 and August 21, 2023, inclusive (the “Class Period”). DSG investors have until April 22, 2024 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

On August 22, 2023, DSG announced disappointing second quarter 2023 financial results, attributing its reduced margins and profitability primarily to promotional sales of excess inventory.

On this news, DSG’s stock price fell $35.51, or 24.1%, to close at $111.53 per share on August 22, 2023, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) demand for products in DSG’s Outdoor segment was slowing faster than defendants represented, resulting in excess inventory; (2) 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; (3) the need to liquidate excess inventory, including in the Outdoor segment, would have a materially negative effect on the Company’s profitability; and (4) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
