US Stocks Movement | American Eagle Outfitters (AEO.US) surges over 32% as Q2 earnings beat market expectations on multiple metrics

According to Jinse Finance APP, shares of American Eagle Outfitters (AEO.US) surged, rising over 32% to $18.02 at the time of publication. On the news front, TD Cowen raised the stock's target price from $13 to $17 while maintaining a "Hold" rating.

American Eagle Outfitters announced its Q2 2025 results on Wednesday, with multiple metrics far exceeding market expectations: earnings per share reached $0.45, a significant increase from the expected $0.20; revenue was $1.28 billion, higher than the expected $1.23 billion. The company also announced the reissuance of its previously withdrawn full-year performance guidance, expecting comparable sales to remain roughly flat, better than analysts' forecasted 0.2% decline. However, full-year operating income guidance was lowered from the original $360 million to $375 million to $255 million to $265 million, mainly due to the impact of tariff costs. The company expects a $20 million loss in Q3, which will expand to $40 million to $50 million in Q4.
