Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Gildan has dominant market share in printwear basics and has invested in a low-cost production and distribution process to maintain its position. Demand for imprintables has recovered since a significant drop during the pandemic.

Bears

The Hanesbrands deal is the largest in Gildan’s history and brings execution risks. Hanesbrands has had inconsistent results over the years, and the branded basics market is competitive.
