Gildan accused of inflating sales — short the cover-up

Gildan Activewear stock crashed after a research firm accused the company of artificially inflating its sales numbers. These allegations often lead to long, drawn-out sell-offs.

Idea

When a short seller publishes a report claiming a company is cooking its books, institutional investors often dump the stock immediately to avoid risk. Even if the allegations are false, the stigma and impending investigations usually weigh on the stock for weeks. This trade bets that the initial panic sell-off has further to go as more investors exit their positions.
