DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. class action timeline

What happened?

On August 25, 2026, DICK'S reported second quarter 2026 results, including Foot Locker revenue of $1.73 billion, well below analysts' estimates of $1.81 billion. The Company also lowered its full-year 2026 net sales guidance to a range of $21.9 billion to $22.2 billion (from $22.1 billion to $22.4 billion) and said it now expected Foot Locker's pro forma comparable sales for the year to range from negative 2.0% to 0.0%, down from its prior forecast of 1.5% to 3% growth. Executive Chairman Edward W. Stack attributed the pressure on Foot Locker in part to an athletic footwear market that had become "increasingly promotional."

On this news, DICK'S stock price fell $55.02 per share, or 30.68%, to close at $124.31 per share on August 25, 2026, thereby injuring investors.

What is the DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. lawsuit about?

The DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. securities lawsuit alleges that, between September 8, 2025 and August 24, 2026, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc.'s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the complaint alleges defendants failed to disclose that: (1) DICK'S efforts to clean up Foot Locker's inventory were not complete, and Foot Locker remained burdened with unproductive, stagnant legacy footwear; (2) Foot Locker relied heavily on legacy footwear products that were especially vulnerable to intensifying promotional pressure across the athletic footwear industry; (3) as a result, DICK'S was significantly exposed to industry-wide excess inventory and the resulting promotional activity; (4) accordingly, DICK'S could not achieve the sales growth, margins, and profits it had touted to investors; and (5) as a result, defendants' positive statements about DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc.'s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

"According to the complaint filed against DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc., the Company, among other things, did not disclose that DICK'S efforts to clean up Foot Locker's inventory were not complete, and Foot Locker remained burdened with unproductive, stagnant legacy footwear. The November 3, 2026 deadline is a key date for DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. investors who want a voice in how this case moves forward," said Frank R. Cruz of The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz.
