Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about American Eagle Outfitters stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "American Eagle has outperformed the industry in the past three months driven by positive sentiment for second-quarter fiscal 2017, since reporting a dismal first-quarter. The company lived up to expectations with both the top and bottom line beating estimates in the second quarter. While the quarter marked second straight quarter of sales beat, earnings topped estimates after a miss in the last quarter. The company also posted 10th straight quarter of positive comps on the back of strong online sales at both brands driven by efficient use of omni-channel capabilities to enhance customer experience. Moreover, the company is optimistic about the second half of fiscal 2017, especially the fall season. It is also on track to launch the revamped loyalty program targeting to convert current customers and attract new ones. However, margins remained strained owing to increased promotions. The company also expects these trends to continue and hurt results." (8/25/2017)
• 2. UBS AG analysts commented, "Last week we hosted investor meeting with AEO (CFO Bob Madore, President of aerie Jennifer Foyle, IR Judy Meehan), with subsequent tour of aerie's pop-up SoHo store. While pricing wars in teen are heating up (both AEO and ANF talked about being promotional this Spring as traffic challenges accelerate, ARO still around), AEO is outperforming, with strength in women's apparel (accelerating over Holiday, driven especially by tops) and aerie emerging as a viable growth vehicle (seven quarters of comps up high-teens/20s); fixing men's (~40% of sales) big opportunity ahead. Tweaking estimates to reflect guide; AEO guided 1Q17 comps in line with current run-rate, which suggests potential upside as tax refunds catch up; risk/return looks interesting with 3-4% dividend/7% FCF yield, teen space volatility keeps us on sidelines." (3/6/2017)
• 3. BMO Capital Markets analysts commented, "4Q adjusted EPS of $0.39 was slightly above the consensus $0.38 estimate. The company issued light 1Q guidance of $0.15-0.17, which is consistent with broader retail weakness indicated in February across the industry. Nonetheless, our long-term thesis remains intact as we believe that the immediate competitive environment headwinds are likely to dissipate in the coming year - especially compared to last year. Further, we believe guidance does not consider any improvement in March/April from QTD trends. We maintain our Outperform rating and highlight current valuation as a favorable entry point." (3/2/2017)
• 4. Mizuho analysts commented, "We are lowering our estimates and PT to $15 (from $16) following a disappointing 1Q guide that may point to muted margin improvement and challenging topline growth in FY17. While we were encouraged by the relative strength of Aerie and the women's assortment at core AE, we question the strategy to invest behind AUC and unit growth in order to gain market share, especially with increased AUR pressure from competition and the face of difficult stacked compares. As such, we believe AE may continue to trade at a discounted multiple of ~12x." (3/1/2017)
