On August 18, 2017, Defendants announced Foot Locker’s financial results for the quarter ended July 29, 2017. They reported a 4.4% year-over-year decline in revenues, a decline in same store sales of 6%, profits well below prior guidance, and an increase in planned store closings.
This news drove the price of Foot Locker shares down $13.32, or about 28%, to close at $34.38 on August 18, 2017.
During the class period – August 19, 2016 through August 17, 2017 – senior executives and directors sold about $13.38 million of their Foot Locker shares.
“Foot Locker investors have suffered enormous losses,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein. “We’re focused on Defendants’ previous statements about Foot Locker’s business that appear to have been contradicted by their August 18 earnings announcement.”
