On May 27, Abercrombie & Fitch surged 11.87% in regular trading, trading at $84.02/share with trading volume of $161 million. The rally was driven by a strong fiscal Q1 earnings beat and reaffirmed full-year guidance.
Abercrombie & Fitch reported fiscal Q1 adjusted EPS of $1.47, significantly exceeding the consensus estimate of $1.27-$1.28, though down from $1.70 a year earlier. The company delivered record first quarter net sales of $1.1 billion, up 2% year-over-year, marking its 14th consecutive quarter of growth. Regional performance was led by the Americas, up 3%, and APAC, up 24%, partially offset by a 10% decline in EMEA. Net sales of $1.114 billion came in slightly below the $1.124 billion estimate.
For fiscal year 2026, the company guided EPS in the range of $10.20 to $11.00, bracketing the FactSet consensus estimate of $10.64. The combination of a substantial bottom-line beat and full-year guidance largely in line with expectations fueled investor confidence, driving the sharp intraday advance.
