Scotiabank lowered its price target for Gildan Activewear from $72 to $65 following a short-seller report alleging channel stuffing and $510 million in excess inventory. These allegations caused the stock to plunge nearly 19%, wiping out approximately $2.15 billion in market capitalization in a single day. While the stock saw a partial recovery to $53.32, legal firms have launched investigations into potential securities fraud and revenue inflation. Despite the probe, some analysts maintain an Outperform rating on the shares.
