ANF Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Abercrombie & Fitch Co is projected to achieve operating margins of 13% in 2026, surpassing previous guidance, with an additional 100 basis points increase expected by the same year due to improved gross margins from tariff offsets and reduced markdowns. Inventory levels saw a 10% increase in Q2, aligning with sales growth of 7%, indicating efficient inventory management that supports sales expectations for the upcoming quarter. Furthermore, the success of Hollister's merchandising and marketing initiatives is anticipated to contribute positively to sales growth, making up 48% of total sales in 2024 and underscoring the brand's strong position in the market.
Bears say
Abercrombie & Fitch Co. is experiencing a concerning decline in financial performance, with comparable store sales growth sharply slowing from over 20% in previous quarters to just 11% in Q3 and 5% in Q4 of 2024. The company's operational metrics reflect a significant contraction, with estimates indicating an 8% reduction in store count, over 20% decrease in square footage, and a decline of more than 25% in store occupancy compared to pre-COVID levels in 2019. These trends suggest that the stock may be overvalued, as it is perceived to be pricing in a substantial downward earnings revision while failing to keep pace with industry averages.
