JD Sports Fashion has upgraded its U.S. over-the-counter listing to the OTCQX, the top tier of the OTC market, from the Pink Ltd. Market. The move gives the British retailer access to a broader pool of U.S. investors and is expected to increase global liquidity. North America is JD's largest region, representing 38 percent of its value, with 2,500 stores across banners including JD Sports, Finish Line, Hibbett, Shoe Palace, and DTLR. Chief Executive Officer Régis Schultz said the upgrade reflects the company's commitment to high standards of transparency and governance. JD Sports operates about 4,900 stores in 51 countries and posted revenues of 12.7 billion pounds for the 52 weeks ended January 31, 2026.
