<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Is the Market Bullish or Bearish on Abercrombie & Fitch?

JPMorgan hosted Abercrombie &amp; Fitch (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANF#NYSE">ANF</a>) CEO Fran Horowitz, COO Scott Lipesky, CFO Robert Ball, and VP of Investor Relations Mo Gupta <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ANF/news">for investor meetings.</a>
Analyst Matthew Boss says that CEO Horowitz sees ANF "beginning the next chapter of diversified &amp; agnostic revenue growth" focused on driving the lifetime value of customers.
In May, the retailer reported first-quarter adjusted EPS of&nbsp;$1.59, beating&nbsp;the street estimate of&nbsp;$1.40, and sales of&nbsp;$1.1 billion&nbsp;outpaced the analyst&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/05/45677573/abercrombies-sales-strength-hollister-momentum-offset-tariff-pressure-analyst-says" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate of&nbsp;$1.08 billion</a>.
Abercrombie &amp; Fitch revised FY25 guidance for net sales growth to 3%&nbsp;to&nbsp;6%&nbsp;(from 3%&nbsp;to&nbsp;5% prior) and EPS to $9.50 to $10.50 (from $10.40&nbsp;to $11.40)&nbsp;vs. street view of $10.75.

Despite mitigation efforts, the full-year outlook includes an estimated $50 million (100 basis points&nbsp;of net sales) in tariff expenses.
Boss writes that following marketing and merchandising improvements over the last few years, the Abercrombie brand has successfully expanded its customer reach to an 18 to 40-year-old demographic.
Substantial new customer acquisition globally supports broad-based top-line results and greater full-price selling.
The analyst also sees international brand growth picking up, with about $400 million in revenue still to be regained compared to pre-pandemic levels. Over the long term, Boss expects steady annual growth in profit margins, helped by lower occupancy costs and a stronger overall profit margin than before the pandemic.
The management noted traffic and new customer growth to the Abercrombie brand, which stands "nicely" positive year over year, with customers responding well to the Vacation Shop.
The analyst on Monday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ANF/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintained an Overweight rating</a> and a price target of $141, down from $147, based on around 7x the estimated fiscal 2026 EBITDA.
Management said that about 50% of their inventory budget for the second half of 2025 is still available. They plan to keep things flexible to respond quickly to strong-performing product categories during the Fall season.
Boss said the company's management sees strong international growth potential across both brands. Currently, international sales make up about 19% of total sales, compared to around 35% in the past.
Management highlighted solid performance in early expansion markets like Germany and the UK and sees more room to grow. Most current international sales come from the Hollister brand, suggesting a significant opportunity for the Abercrombie brand to expand and gain market share overseas.
Price Action: ANF stock is up 0.5% at $75.06 at the last check on Monday.

This Is What Whales Are Betting On Abercrombie & Fitch

Lululemon Athletica Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>) plunged 20.79% during the pre-market trading session on Friday, as it cut its full-year earnings forecast amid an unpredictable macroeconomic environment.
What Happened:&nbsp;The athletic apparel company&#8217;s Q1 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45803189/lululemon-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-shares-tumble-on-weaker-earnings-forecast">earnings</a>, released on Thursday, exceeded analysts&#8217; expectations. However, the company has adjusted its full-year earnings forecast due to a &#8220;dynamic macroenvironment.&#8221; The company is dealing with tariffs and a potential deceleration in the U.S. economy. 
CEO&nbsp;Calvin McDonald&nbsp;acknowledged the challenges posed by tariffs and concerns about a potential slowdown in the U.S. economy. Despite these challenges, McDonald expressed the company&#8217;s intention to capitalize on its&nbsp;strong financial position and competitive&nbsp;advantages.
McDonald also noted that U.S. consumer behavior is cautious and deliberate, expressing his dissatisfaction with the U.S. growth. The company&#8217;s CFO,&nbsp;Meghan Frank, disclosed plans to introduce &#8220;strategic price increases, examining each item across our range,&#8221; to counterbalance the effects of tariffs. She emphasized that these hikes would be applicable to a minor fraction of their products and would be &#8220;modest in nature.&#8221;
The company&#8217;s shares fell by 5% in after-hours trading following the announcement.

Why It Matters: Lululemon's report follows a wave of retailers cutting or withdrawing their guidance amid uncertainty over President Donald Trump's tariff policies. Companies like Abercrombie &amp; Fitch (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANF#NYSE">ANF</a>) and Macy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>) lowered their profit forecasts, while others, such as American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEO#NYSE">AEO</a>), scrapped their full-year outlook entirely.
On the earnings call, Frank said Lululemon's outlook factors in a 30% tariff on Chinese imports and a 10% tariff on goods from other sourcing countries. In 2024, the company sourced most of its products from Vietnam (40%), followed by Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Bangladesh. Lululemon outsources all manufacturing and fabric supply to external vendors.

Abercrombie & Fitch Unusual Options Activity For May 30

WIIM

Abercrombie & Fitch shares are trading lower, paring gains from Wednesday. The stock gained Wednesday following better-than-expected quarterly financial results.

Telsey Advisory Group analyst Dana Telsey maintained an Outperform rating on Abercrombie &amp; Fitch (NYSE:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANF#NYSE" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> ANF</a>) on Thursday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ANF/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $125</a>.
On Wednesday, the retailer reported first-quarter adjusted EPS of $1.59, beating the street estimate of $1.40, and sales of $1.1 billion outpaced the analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45643292/abercrombie-fitch-shares-surge-but-lowers-outlook-despite-q1-beat-due-to-tariffs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate of $1.08 billion</a>.
Abercrombie &amp; Fitch revised FY25 guidance for net sales growth to 3%&nbsp;to&nbsp;6%&nbsp;(from 3%&nbsp;to&nbsp;5% prior) and EPS to $9.50 to $10.50 (from $10.40&nbsp;to $11.40)<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener"> vs. street view of $10.75.</a>
Despite mitigation efforts, the full-year outlook includes an estimated $50 million (100 basis points <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45663155/af-absorbs-tariff-impact-no-hikes-despite-50-million-cost-plans-to-open-100-new-physical-experiences-in-2025" rel="noreferrer noopener">of net sales) in tariff expenses</a>.
The analyst writes that the first-quarter sales beat, driven particularly by Hollister, was encouraging, as was the raised sales growth outlook for the full fiscal year 2025.
The analyst adds that these results and the updated outlook suggest that the company effectively utilizes its flexible operating model to adjust its offerings to meet customer demand rapidly.
Also, the analyst believes the moderated full-year operating margin outlook (reduced by 150 basis points at both ends of the previous range) was better than market fears and now accounts for tariff impacts.
Consequently, the analyst views quarterly results and the updated outlook as a positive initial step in rebuilding investor confidence in ANF&#8217;s profitability potential.
Telsey now sees FY25 comparable sales growth of 3.1% vs. 2.0% prior and consensus of growth of 2.5% and EPS of $10.30 (down from $11.35 earlier) vs. street view of $10.44.
Price Action: ANF shares are down 6.5% at $82.81 at last check Thursday.

U.S. stock futures jumped on Thursday after ending lower on Wednesday. Futures of major benchmark indices rose over 1% in premarket.
A federal court has<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45660322/trump-tariffs-struck-down-by-federal-court-major-blow-to-white-houses-trade-strategy-report"> invalidated global tariffs</a> enacted by President Donald Trump under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a move that could reshape future U.S. trade policy. 
The U.S. Court of International Trade&#8217;s decision challenged the extensive tariff authority previously wielded by the Trump administration and may impact ongoing trade strategies.
A three-judge panel, with appointees from the Reagan, Obama, and Trump eras, ruled that the IEEPA doesn&#8217;t give the president unlimited power to impose tariffs.
The Trump administration filed an appeal against the ruling in minutes, according to a Reuters report.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.52% and the two-year bond was at 4.03%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 97.7% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
After the Federal Court struck down Trump&#8217;s tariffs, Craig Shapiro, a macro strategist at the Bear Traps Report, said that &#8220;Without tariff revenues, there is a big beautiful hole in the big beautiful budget bill.&#8221;
This implied the administration&#8217;s promise to fund the deficit created by the tax bill through tariff revenue and the Department of Government Efficiency savings.
Shapiro&#8217;s post highlights a budget crisis that could be triggered by the removal of tariff revenue.

According to him, despite the seemingly extreme market optimism, the perspective from professionals analyzing data from the ground up painted a far more subdued picture.
He explained that aggressive market pricing stands in stark contrast to the pessimistic views held by bottom-up analysts, companies, and economists.
Elliott highlighted in an X thread that corporate earnings revisions for U.S. large-cap companies have notably collapsed, reaching their weakest point since the COVID-19 pandemic. Global earnings revisions also remain quite subdued, despite a marginal recent uptick in negativity.
Projections for 2025 earnings growth, which are typically skewed positively until just before the period, are currently penciled in at a mere 7%.

Dow Dips More Than 200 Points; Investor Sentiment Declines, But Fear & Greed Index Remains In 'Greed' Zone

After reporting a better-than-expected first quarter, American lifestyle retailer Abercrombie &amp; Fitch Co.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANF#NYSE">ANF</a>) management hinted at absorbing the tariff impact and announced plans to open 100 new &#8220;physical experiences&#8221; in 2025.
What Happened: Company CEO Fran Horowitz highlighted during the earnings call that the firm&#8217;s global supply chain and sourcing teams are working hard to drive efficiency across the supply chain.
&#8220;All of this work will have clear impact and, based on our current assumptions on tariffs, we are not planning broad-based ticket increases,&#8221; said Horowitz, hinting at tariff absorption without any price hikes.
The CFO, Robert Ball, also highlighted that the company was looking to mitigate its average unit retail price to avoid price increases.
&#8220;For AUR specifically, we are currently assuming no AUR mitigation in our outlook as we do not anticipate broad-based ticket price increases,&#8221; he said.
Adding that, &#8220;Net of expected mitigation efforts, the assumed tariffs carry a cost impact of around $50 million for 2025, impacting our full year operating margin outlook by 100 basis points.&#8221;
Furthermore, Horowitz highlighted that they expect to add 100 new &#8220;physical experiences&#8221; on the store&#8217;s front.
Ball added, &#8220;We expect to deliver around 100 new experiences, including 60 new stores and 40 right-sizes or remodels. We also expect to be net store openers, with our 60 new stores outpacing around 20 anticipated closures.&#8221;
