ANF Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Abercrombie & Fitch Co. reported a 6.8% year-over-year increase in total sales for the third quarter, reaching $1.291 billion, which surpassed market expectations and aligned closely with financial estimates. The Hollister brand demonstrated particularly strong performance, posting a 15% comparable sales increase, significantly higher than anticipated guidance of 5%-7%. Additionally, both units and Average Unit Retail (AUR) showed growth, supported by reduced promotional activity, which bodes well for the company’s profitability and overall financial health.
Bears say
Abercrombie & Fitch reported a 2.0% year-over-year decline in sales for its A&F brand, contrasting sharply with a 16.3% increase in sales for its Hollister brand, indicating a potential long-term issue with brand performance. The gross margin decreased by 260 basis points to 62.5%, driven down by tariff impacts that accounted for a 210 basis points reduction, which is concerning given that it fell short of both estimates and consensus expectations. Additionally, the forecast for flat sales year-over-year in Q4 further underscores persistent challenges in revenue growth, and the projected decrease in FY25 earnings per share from $10.69 in FY24 to $9.86 signals ongoing financial headwinds for the company.
