- Friday, May 24, 7:37 AM Retail reporter Sapna Maheshwari delivers a sobering thought on Abercrombie & Fitch's (ANF) sub-par quarter (SSS -15%). She notes the rehashed "fat" comments from CEO Michael Jeffries didn't go viral until after the reporting period. The exec was trying to highlight the aspirational aspect of the ANF brand, but made a bit of a mess of it all. The conference call at 7:30 AM EST could be interesting. ANF -7.5% premarket. (webcast) Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, May 24, 7:23 AM More on Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF): The company was selling, but not as many people were buying in Q1. Comparable store sales fell 15% including direct-to-consumer sales with Hollister off 18% and the Abercrombie & Fitch brand falling 13%. Sales weakened at the end of the quarter even with improving weather patterns. The retailer says "external pressures" led to significant inventory issues during the period. Full-year EPS guidance is taken down to $3.15-$3.25 and Q2 is adjusted to $0.28-$0.33. ANF -7.5% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Consumer, Earnings]

- Wednesday, May 22, 1:43 PM Google just released a new tool under Google Trends to rank the highest search terms per category. Though it's not quite actionable advice quite yet, a lot of scientific abstracts have been making a solid case that in some industries a correlation between Google searches and stock prices exists. The trick is separating negative searches from positive ones. The most searched fashion brands on Google: 1) Forever 21 2) American Eagle Outfitters (AEO +2.3%) 3) Hennes & Mauritz (HMRZF.PK) 4) Tiffany (TIF +0.2%) 5) Hollister (ANF +1.2%). 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 22, 1:25 PM The list of groups Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF +1.6%) has offended recently just got a little longer after a judge says he will contemplate an injunction against the retailer for discriminating against the handicapped. A lawsuit filed by a group of customers alleges the retail chain limits access to shoppers in wheelchairs as it caters to its targeted younger svelte crowd. (Previous: No plus-sized lines for ANF) 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, May 17, 8:40 AM Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) CEO Michael Jeffries continues to try to defuse the backlash from rehashed comments a 2006 interview when he indicated the retailer went after the "cool" kids at the exclusion of plus-sized consumers. Though the exec went a bit too far in promoting the aspirational aspect of the Abercrombie brand, retail analysts thinks the effect from the resurfaced flap could be neutral on sales as the sound and fury recedes. Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 15, 1:51 PM Perhaps take it with a grain of salt, but a surprising 44% of consumers responding to a survey on the impact of an online sales tax say they will buy less items online if the legislation is passed into law. The number rises to 75% for the 18-year to 25-year old demographic (ZUMZ, ANF, URBN, ARO, BKE, VRA). Though seemingly a bad development for Amazon (AMZN -0.6%) and eBay (EBAY), many retail analysts thinks those shopping habits are pretty hard to break. 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 15, 10:59 AM Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF +0.2%) continues to feel heat over its decision not to carry larger sizes and as caddy comments by CEO Mike Jefferies from years ago on the retailer's target customer are rehashed. If it's true there is no such thing as bad publicity, investors can take some comfort in the huge spike in Google search queries during May for "Abercrombie." (Google Trends chart: ANF vs. AEO, ARO, URBN) Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, May 10, 7:42 AM Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) draws fire from critics for targeting what CEO Michael Jeffries calls "attractive, all-American" customers of skinnier sizes. The retailer doesn't offer XL-sized clothing despite the increasing focus on the category from other rivals. The development appears to have made the company a hot topic of discussion. (Google Trends chart) Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, May 7, 12:08 PM Shares of Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF +6%) get a little bump from a Goldman Sachs upgrade to Hold off of a dour Sell rating. There is a general feeling amongst retail watchers that the company may have righted the ship with Hollister. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, May 7, 9:29 AM Retail sales numbers for April could be a tad weaker than expected after weekly reports from Redbook and ICSC-Goldman on chain store sales both came in a bit below expectations. Retail read-through: Weather and swings in gas prices seemed to impact store traffic to malls (KSS, DDS, JCP, LTD, GPS, ANF, AEO) and supercenters (WMT, COST TGT), but economists think consumer confidence on the high end (TIF, RL, SKS, COH, BBBY) just might be on the rise. Also, with online sales de-emphasized in the weekly chain store reports - Internet whiz kids Macy's (M) and Urban Outfitters (URBN) could still outperform even if mall parking lots aren't packed. 1 Comment [Consumer, U.S. Economy]
- Monday, April 29, 7:50 AM Analysts at Macquarie believe Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) will be able to expand its margins as the retailer's new strategies start to pay off. The firm upgrades ANF to Outperform from Neutral. Comment! [Consumer]
