What are Wall Street analysts saying about Abercrombie & Fitch stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Abercrombie & Fitch stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Abercrombie outperformed the industry in three months backed by significant progress on strategic initiatives, strength in Hollister, Abercrombie’s return to positive comps trend and strong DTC business. The company is also gaining from a robust surprise trend. The company delivered earnings and sales beat in fourth-quarter fiscal 2017, marking the third straight positive earnings surprise and fourth consecutive sales beat. Further, it remains encouraged by comps performance that gained from rise in traffic and conversion. Going forward, the company focuses on improving customer experience by investing in loyalty programs, stores, DTC and omni-channel capabilities. It also expects to maintain a disciplined approach toward expense management to drive top- and bottom-line growth. Consequently, it provided an robust view for fiscal 2018. However, the company’s gross margin is likely to remain under pressure in first-quarter fiscal 2018." (3/27/2018)
- 2. JPMorgan Chase analysts commented, "self-inflicted factors," Boss wrote. The problem is management "sees no silver bullets" to drive a sustainable growth ahead and as SG&A efficiencies and other cost-saving programs will merely "fund the rising cost of relevance."The topic of going private was also discussed in the meeting. Management acknowledged it has been approached by "more than one potential suitor" to go private but the board believes that staying a public company was "a better course of action to invest in the process at hand and drive shareholder value," the analyst also said."ANF's earnings power going forward is increasingly dependent on the company's ability to drive positive comps which appears increasingly too difficult in the worsening retail backdrop," Boss wrote. "We are not convinced that ANF will see an inflection point in comps on a sustainable basis and see consistent EBITDA declines for the years ahead." (11/1/2017)
- 3. FBR & Co analysts commented, "ANF reported 1Q EPS of ($0.91), versus FBR/consensus of ($0.68)/($0.70), including an impact from new stock option changes of $0.14. Management expects SSS to continue to be challenging in 2Q17, although they are expected to improve in the back half of 2017. A&F is expected to be the most challenged, while Hollister should continue to perform well. Both brands are benefiting from newly rolled out loyalty programs and omni-channel investments. Although we are encouraged by ANF’s omni-channel and brand initiatives, we remain on the sidelines until we see consistent SSS improvement and an inflection in margins." (5/26/2017)
