This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding Dick’s, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Dick’s had overstated its adjusted EBITDA amounts; (2) accordingly, Dick’s lacked effective internal controls; and (3) consequently, Dick’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On May 12, 2017, Dick's filed on Form 8-K/A with the Securities and Exchange Commission and stated that a “computation error resulted in a $23.4 million overstatement of Adjusted EBITDA amounts for both the 13 weeks and 52 weeks ended January 28, 2017.” Following this news, Dick’s stock dropped $2.62 per share, or 5.22%, to close at $47.57 on May 12, 2017.
On May 16, 2017, Dick’s revealed that its sales at its existing stores in the first quarter of 2016 were short of its predictions and counseled shareholders that it planned to scale back new store openings in 2018 and 2019. Following this news, Dick’s stock dropped as much as $6.82, or 14.34%, during intraday trading on May 16, 2017.
