ANF earnings — 2026-08-26

Abercrombie & Fitch reported second-quarter fiscal 2026 results before the open and beat consensus EPS by $2.18 a share. The guidance did the heavier lifting: third-quarter EPS was guided to $2.90–$3.20 against a $2.80 consensus on revenue of roughly $1.4 billion versus $1.3 billion expected, and full-year EPS was raised to $13.10–$13.60 against a $10.40 consensus — a raise of a different order than the quarter itself.

The tape agreed emphatically. ANF settled at $147.75, up 35.67% on the day on 16.3× its average volume, closing with an RSI of 79.1 in a strong-up trend (settled close, 2026-08-26).

One discrepancy worth recording: one syndicated write-up of the print described the stock as down 3.3%, which does not match the settled session. The desk's price truth is the close above; the news pull is cited here for the reported figures and guidance only, not for the price move.
