Read MoreHide Full Article
Retail apparel companies are a highlight of this week’s earnings lineup with American Eagle Outfitters (AEO - Free Report) ) and Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF - Free Report) ) standing out ahead of their third quarter reports on Tuesday, November 21.
With American Eagle’s stock boasting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and Abercrombie’s stock sporting a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) here is a glimpse at their Q3 previews and why they are worthy of investors' consideration at the moment.
American Eagle Q3 Preview: Ahead of its Q3 report, American Eagle’s stock stands out in terms of growth and value with the company becoming somewhat of a fashionista of casual apparel, footwear, and accessories for Generation Z and younger Millennials in the United States and Canada.
Third quarter earnings are expected to rise 14% year over year to $0.48 per share with Q3 sales forecasted at $1.28 billion and up 3%. More intriguing, the Zacks ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) indicates American Eagle may be able to surpass earnings expectations with the Most Accurate Estimate having Q3 EPS at $0.50 a share and 4% above the Zacks Consensus.

It’s also noteworthy that American Eagle most recently beat the Zacks Consensus for Q2 EPS by 66% with earnings at $0.25 per share compared to estimates of $0.15 a share. Furthermore, American Eagle’s stock has soared +40% year to date but still trades at a reasonable 14.7X forward earnings multiple. This is very compelling considering the company’s intriguing quarterly growth and generous 2.04% annual dividend yield.

Abercrombie & Fitch Q3 Preview: With inflationary headwinds starting to subside the post-pandemic growth and recovery of Abercrombie is hard to overlook as a staple of premium casual apparel with a global footprint that includes 759 stores across North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
To that point, Q3 earnings are expected at $1.14 per share compared to $0.01 a share in the prior-year quarter. Quarterly sales are forecasted to be up 11% to $977.52 million. Plus, the Zacks ESP indicates Abercrombie could also beat earnings expectations with the Most Accurate Estimate having Q3 EPS at $1.17 a share and 2% above the Zacks Consensus.

Other Retail Apparel Stocks to Watch
Guess (GES - Free Report) ), Nordstrom (JWN - Free Report) ), and Urban Outfitters (URBN - Free Report) ) are three other retail apparel stocks to watch ahead of their Q3 reports on Tuesday.
The growth and valuation for Guess, Nordstrom, and Urban Outfitters are also attractive with all three stocks landing a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) as their quarterly results may largely dictate more upside.
