ANF Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Abercrombie & Fitch Co. has demonstrated robust performance with total sales in the third quarter increasing by 6.8% year-over-year to $1.291 billion, surpassing market expectations and aligning closely with internal estimates. The Hollister brand exhibited significant same-store sales strength, rising 15% compared to the company's guidance of 5%-7%, indicating strong consumer demand and effective brand positioning. Furthermore, the anticipated Q4 sales growth of 5.1% year-over-year highlights the company's consistent upward trajectory and resilience in a competitive retail environment.
Bears say
Abercrombie & Fitch Co. reported a year-over-year sales decline of 2.0% for its A&F brand, contrasting sharply with the 16.3% sales increase recorded by its Hollister brand, indicating uneven performance within its portfolio. The company's gross margin contracted by 260 basis points to 62.5%, significantly below the consensus estimate, driven primarily by tariffs impacting margins by 210 basis points. Moreover, with projected flat sales for Q4 and a downward revision of the fiscal year 2026 EPS estimate from $10.55 to $10.42, the overall financial outlook appears unfavorable for the company.
