Why Abercrombie & Fitch Stock Surged Today
Shares of Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF) leaped 21.7% on Tuesday after the apparel retailer reported a surprise profit.
Abercrombie's sales declined by 3% year over year to $880 million in its fiscal third quarter that ended Oct. 29. A 10% jump in the company's namesake brand sales partially offset a 12% decline in its Hollister brand sales.
