Gap Momentum Encouraging, Old Navy Weakness Seen Continuing, BofA Says

Gap's (GAP) momentum is encouraging, but pressure within the Old Navy brand will likely continue amid a tough macroeconomic backdrop, BofA Securities said in a note Friday.The apparel retailer late Thursday reported a comparable sales decline of 1% in the fiscal second quarter, with the Gap brand posting 10% growth, while Old Navy declining 4%. Old Navy's print was weaker than BofA's estimate that called for a 2% drop.Gap attributed the comparable sales decline at Old Navy to pressure in the women's seasonal assortment, as well as an unexpected slowdown in traffic."We are encouraged by momentum at Gap but remain concerned that Old Navy's lower-end customer will continue to be pressured by the tough macro climate," BofA analysts Lorraine Hutchinson and Mary Sport said.Gap named Chief Customer Officer Michael Francis as CEO of Old Navy, effective Nov. 2. Francis succeeds Haio Barbeito, who will step into an advisory role."We have work to do at Old Navy, but we have a clear understanding of the factors that impacted performance and are taking targeted actions that are already driving improved results," Gap CEO Richard Dickson said in a statement.Gap's shares jumped 13% intraday Friday, reducing year-to-date losses to 8.5%.Management is investing in sharper pricing in the second half to improve Old Navy's value proposition, "which should help to stabilize sales," Hutchinson and Sport said.The company's adjusted earnings per share for the quarter ended Aug. 1 totaled $0.52, exceeding the FactSet-polled estimate of $0.48 and BofA's $0.50. Net sales declined 2% to $3.65 billion, missing the Street's view of $3.69 billion."While not the revenue outcome we wanted, continued operational and financial rigor contributed to gross margin strength," Dickson said during the earnings call on Thursday, according to a FactSet transcript. "We also maintained market share, reflecting the continued resonance of our brand portfolio."Second-quarter adjusted gross margins improved 20 basis points year on year, excluding the $417 million benefit from tariff refunds, according to the note.BofA raised its price objective on Gap's stock to $27 from $26, and retained its neutral rating.For fiscal 2026, the company raised adjusted EPS guidance to between $2.35 and $2.45 from $2.30 to $2.40 previously expected. It narrowed net sales growth outlook to 1% to 1.5% annually from 1% to 2%. Analysts expect EPS of $2.41 and revenue growth of 1.1%.The brokerage raised its fiscal 2026 EPS estimate by 2% to $2.39 and the 2027 outlook by 4% to $2.58."As we move into the third quarter, the headwind from summer categories becomes much less significant," the CEO told analysts. "This gives us a clear runway for improvement, as key categories like denim, active, sweaters and knits drive the business."Earlier this week, apparel retailer Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) raised its full-year outlook as tariff-related refunds propelled its fiscal second-quarter results above Wall Street's expectations. American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) is slated to announce its results next month.Price: $23.49, Change: $+2.70, Percent Change: +12.96%

Abercrombie & Fitch Lifts Full-Year Outlook as Fiscal Second-Quarter Results Top Views

Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) raised its full-year outlook on Wednesday as tariff-related refund benefits helped the apparel retailer post fiscal second-quarter results above Wall Street's estimates.The company now anticipates adjusted earnings to be in a range of $13.10 to $13.60 per share for fiscal 2026, up from its prior guidance of $10.20 to $11. Sales are pegged to grow by around 5%, reflecting the higher end of the retailer's previously issued forecast. The current consensus on FactSet is for non-GAAP EPS of $10.72 and for sales to increase by 3.5%.Shares of Abercrombie & Fitch spiked 36% in Wednesday trade, taking its year-to-date gain to 16%.The retailer received $100 million in refunds in the second quarter related to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act tariffs and expects the benefit to have a favorable impact of about 220 basis points on its operating margin for the fiscal year, Chief Financial Officer Robert Ball said during an earnings call, according to a FactSet transcript. The metric is projected to be in between 14.5% and 15%, up from prior expectations of 12% to 12.5%."Our first half execution and strong start to August support a higher full-year sales expectation and an increase to our operating margin and EPS outlook," Ball said on the call.Earlier this year, the US Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration lacked authority under the IEEPA to impose certain tariffs, paving the way for refunds to companies that had paid the duties.Abercrombie & Fitch's adjusted EPS jumped to $4.17 for the quarter ended Aug. 1 from $2.32 the year before, well above the Street's view for $1.99. Tariff-related refunds were a benefit of $1.75 to the bottom line. Sales improved 5% to $1.27 billion, topping the average analyst estimate of $1.25 billion."Growth was balanced across our brands and regions, highlighted by accelerating momentum in the Americas and improving trends in (Europe, the Middle East and Africa)," the retailer's chief executive, Fran Horowitz, said in the earnings release. "Both brands achieved record second quarter net sales."Revenue for the Abercrombie brand grew 8% for the quarter, while Hollister's sales inclined 2%. Revenue advanced across all regions, led by a 19% jump in Asia Pacific.In a note emailed Tuesday, UBS Securities said it expected Abercrombie & Fitch to post better-than-expected quarterly results, but with limited upside as the market would have already priced in a similar outcome.For the ongoing three-month period, the retailer anticipates per-share net income to be in a range of $2.90 to $3.20, with sales rising by 5% to 6%. The Street is looking for EPS of $2.82 and sales growth of 4.3%.Abercrombie & Fitch is expecting $20 million in tariff-related refunds in the third quarter, boosting its EPS by $0.35 and operating margin by about 160 basis points, Ball told analysts on the call.Urban Outfitters (URBN) is scheduled to release its latest financial results after the markets close Wednesday, while Gap (GAP) posts its earnings on Thursday.

Softline Retailers Likely to Benefit From US Data Center Boom, UBS Says

US softline retailers are expected to take advantage of an ongoing data center construction boom, with Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF), Urban Outfitters (URBN), and Macy's (M) among those likely to see "outsized" benefits, UBS Securities said in a note e-mailed Monday.US commercial data center capacity has increased at a nearly 30% to 40% annual pace over the last two years, with installed capacity seen rising 20% to 30% annually in the near term, the brokerage said, citing industry experts.The data center construction boom is expected to lift the economy and boost the consumer spending backdrop for apparel and footwear in the concerned regions. However, the data center buildout is not expected to be distributed evenly across the country, UBS analysts Jay Sole and Mauricio Serna said in the note to clients."We believe retailers with a high percentage of stores located in areas with strong data center growth will benefit more than retailers with less exposure to these areas will," the analysts wrote.Abercrombie & Fitch, Urban Outfitters, Macy's, and Steven Madden (SHOO) are among the retailers poised to see "outsized" benefits, Sole and Serna said. On the other hand, Kohl's (KSS), Bath & Body Works (BBWI), Buckle (BKE), Boot Barn (BOOT), and American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) have "the most relevant low exposure," the duo wrote.Among off-price retailers, Ross Stores (ROST) has the "most relevant high exposure," while TJX (TJX) is on the other side of the spectrum, according to the note."While some regions have embraced data centers, other localities have not," UBS said. "Some municipalities reject data center proposals because the long-term local economic payoff is perceived as limited. They also have concerns about resource and infrastructure strain."The brokerage expects all softline stocks to benefit from their use of AI, as well as the technology's impact on the overall economy."Softline companies are taking AI very seriously and AI is likely already having a positive impact on the industry's financial performance," Sole and Serna said. "We believe the meaningful returns companies are already and will continue to achieve on their AI investments will drive upside (earnings-per-share) surprises."Price: $75.30, Change: $-1.92, Percent Change: -2.49%

Research Alert: American Eagle Beats Estimates; Reiterates Full Year Guidance

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:AEO delivered Q1 2026 revenue of $1.195B (+9.7% Y/Y), $10M above estimates, and operating income of $28M versus an $85M loss in the prior year. Gross margin expanded 860 bps to 38.2%, primarily driven by comparison against last year's $75M inventory writedown. Aerie achieved exceptional performance with 25% comparable sales growth and surpassed $2B in trailing 12-month revenue, fueled by compelling products and successful campaigns. Management reiterated FY 2026 operating income guidance of $390-410M while expecting mid single digit comparable sales growth, with tariff assumptions of 10% for Q2 and 15% for the back half built into guidance. However, American Eagle brand faced headwinds with 2% comparable sales decline, highlighting the portfolio's reliance on Aerie's momentum. We view the 27% inventory increase concerning given only 5% unit growth, suggesting potential margin pressure from cost inflation and tariff impacts ahead.

American Eagle Outfitters to Top Quarterly Views, Remain Cautious Amid Uncertainty, UBS Says

American Eagle Outfitters' (AEO) fiscal first-quarter results are expected to exceed analysts' estimates, though the clothing retailer is expected to remain cautious amid macro uncertainty, UBS Securities said in a note sent Friday.UBS is projecting quarterly earnings of $0.13 per share for the company, compared with the consensus of $0.11. The brokerage is looking at sales of $1.20 billion for the quarter, which would top Wall Street's $1.18 billion estimate.The parent of intimate apparel brand Aerie is scheduled to release its first-quarter results on May 28."We believe AEO had a decent (first quarter), driven by Aerie's strength and (the American Eagle brand's) continuing improvement," UBS analysts, including Jay Sole, wrote. "However, we think AEO will maintain a conservative stance given elevated macro uncertainty and potential (second-half) cost headwinds."The company will likely reiterate its fiscal 2026 outlook and guide second-quarter comparable sales in line with the Street's projections, Sole said. Analysts in a FactSet poll are looking for second-quarter same store sales growth of 6.6%."We believe the market has a similar view," Sole said. "Therefore we don't expect AEO's (first-quarter) report to meaningfully shift sentiment or change EPS forecasts."In March, the retailer projected full-year comparable sales to rise by a mid-single-digit in fiscal 2026.UBS remains bullish on the company's long-term potential, with Aerie seen becoming a $3 billion brand. The brokerage has a buy rating on the stock and a 12-month price target of $35."We see Aerie as softlines' most under-appreciated growth brand," Sole said. "We think its sales can increase significantly over the coming years from roughly ($2.1 billion) today."Price: $15.35, Change: $-0.18, Percent Change: -1.19%
