Abercombie and Fitch is approaching overpriced
I was right about WIRE. I was right about ANF. I haven't been right about DQ.... yet.
Bought $LEVI calls and $ANF puts
Is anyone else looking to buy ANF puts?

Good morning for ANF and Kohls lol. Bodes well for my RL position lol. Stoked to see URBN numbers after the bell close. No position but have been thinking about it.
AVGO +20% in 2 days. GOOG +15% in 2 days, ANF now pumps 20%, NBIS pumps 10%, KSS now up 20%. Lmfao we are in a pure greed and vibes market. Say anything positive and boom you will pump. How sentiment changes in just a few days
People finally realizing ANF was oversold
Fuck me. Told y’all ANF was going up 20%. https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/s/8T0NvoRNGi
KSS and ANF doing well. So happy I didn't buy them...
I forgot to buy ANF calls fuck. That shit is going up 20% with a surprise beat.
I forgot ANF reports tomorrow morning. Meant to buy some . Feels close to a bottom.
Market seems damn certain that ANF will shit the bed.
So ANF, please tell the judge where the market touched you.
Where's all the ANF jabronis, did they get wiped out this year now that it's -53% YTD?
I've personally rotated out of my GAP calls a week or so ago - I took profits. I'll be playing ER's with shares / potentially CC's. My big concern with GAP is that although the ads have been doing insanely well & trends suggest they have probably been working - they've all been focused on the GAP brand. GAP as a company consists of 4 major brands - Old Navy, GAP, Banana Republic & Athleta. Old navy makes up > 50% of their sales, GAP \~25% & the other two the rest. I expect GAP to do well / beat expectations - but I don't think it'll be by as large as a margin as many others believe due to consisting of 4 brands. I personally don't like the volatility around ER's in calls and am also not a fan of the IV crush - so I'll just be playing with shares. \--- I've had a very high level look at abercrombie - and although I do agree from a value perspective it looks super cheap - I don't see any catalyst to make ANF skyrocket. Quick google searches suggest that sales may actually be declining - which isn't good for a business like theirs. I heard they were also doing layoffs. I didn't look much past that to be honest. My current largest position is actually in Pfizer (PFE) at the moment - which is a completely different sector all togther.
The bear case is a maybe more of an overall bear case for most of the industry imo. Most of the players just cant grow meaningfully so they eek out marginal improvements and get a 5-8 time cash flow multiple for it. Valuline has them growing cash flow only 10% from 2025-2030. So the entire sector just doesn't grab any inst interest because its been a meh business for 20 years. The big boys want either crazy (large cap) growth with upside catalysts or they want years of proven, guaranteed mid/high single digit growth, high margins and a shareholder friendly capital return program so they can "buy and hold" forever. They seem to be more agnostic about industry with these. Shit.... TJMaxx is one of the largest retailers in the country by market cap because of that phenomenon (4 times the size of target at $159 billion! lol). To offset that if they can get into the low double digits and really prove then have a real multi year runway then the stock could def re-rate. See URBN and ANF. For Gap to 2 or 3 x from here the GAP brand will have to have a 90s moment - back then GAP was considered quality, stylish and a sought after "brand" not just a store brand. People wanted GAP jeans not just decent jeans at a decent price. You were cool if you wore GAP lol. It might happen idk but I'm rooting for them.
There have been many long term investment ideas, and I've been on this sub long enough to know that. ASTS, RKLB, ANF and many other powerful ideas were posted HERE on *WSB*, well before anyone cared about them.
ANF doesn't have the hype, that's the problem. Look at the TEAM. GAP keeps executing insanely well. They launched 3 highly successful ad campaigns within a \~2.5 month period and now they're even gonna be adveritisng at trump events. This is super bullish for them. GAP's new team (note: NEW TEAM) can do effective advertising. That's very good - advertising tends to be correlated with increased sales & general hype / positive sentiment. ANF doesn't have this. It's why I never touched it
Crying in my ANF bags meanwhile
What's the deal with ANF....
Full ported ANF will sell in 6 years
I like ANF more, their stores are popping
Sam Altman looks like he works for ANF
-911 fewer jobs created, even if they weren't destroyed, still suggests the economy isn't as robust as everyone seems to think. WFC said balances were lower than *pre-pandemic*, not covid. Smal but important distinction. I'm well aware that banks tend to front-run their statements, and I often trade against them when they say to be bullish something or bearish something else. > No it isn't. You are misinterpreting the data. Last month we had a massive 0.7% MoM print. When combining both July and August it implies an annualized producer inflation rate of 7.4%. Okay, conceded. > Do you have evidence corporations are inflating their numbers on a wide scale? Actual cash flows are increasing. Moreover the incomes I stated are individual incomes, not corporate. I don't have the evidence on hand but if you really want I can go try to dig it back up. NVDA is doing funny stuff with their books reports, iirc it's something like double-charging their expenditures to make their AI spend look even more exciting than it really is. TSLA is completely fraudulent. And literally just now overnight ORCL claimed [they would double their sales revenue annually for the next several years.](https://cdn.geekwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/800px-Itanium_Sales_Forecasts_edit-630x428.png) I don't think companies like WMT or TGT are inflating their numbers but they've been saying for awhile now that there's only so much they can do to soak the impact of tariffs. They're also a much smaller portion of the market compared to the wildly inflated bubble companies like mentioned in the previous paragraph. What possibly justifies the insane run STX is on? ANF looked similarly invincible in Summer 2024 before an over 50% correction.
Course so will stock prices.. but let’s look at facts.. Retailers got faded hard over the last six months… P/Es are compressed on specific businesses.. ANF AEO and others and then in last months jobs numbers the only sector to gain was … ex health … “According to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Employment Situation report, the retail trade sector added 10,500 jobs in August 2025.” EPS for AEO doubled expectation on a 7-9 PE where most of SPY trades at 22 - 26 earnings…
Dumb trade, you should be going in on $ANF, their Y2K line drops sunday. GenZ is thirsty for Y2K throwbacks

Are you considering a short or a big put position then if likely?I feel that these clothing stocks swing big time like American Eagle or ANF due to large short positions on any good news. We even saw Lulu go from 250 to 420 really quickly last year.
LULU going to announce that ANF is buying them out for $250 a share
Haha I don't know how they could make it worse. Like maybe say that they had planned to hire Sydney Sweeny but ANF swooped in?
They took the ANF route I see. That’s cool though, I’ll have to take a visit. I’m actually concerned for my LULU puts now 😂
Why did AE do so much better than ANF and others then genius? Do school dress codes only allow AE jeans 😂
If chips/tech see a sell off why do you think software like crwd, TEM, panw wouldn’t also dip. They usually move pretty in sync with the overall tech market. As for ANF / AEO I think those are good picks
ANF got shit on by the MM in an almost record breaking green streak.
ANF dumping with a brand that makes 50% of their sales growing 20% and a 9 PE
The ANF dip got bought quickly.
PVH beat earnings. ANF guaranteed to crush
Why ANF Calls so fucking expensive
I am FUUUUUCKED. I thought ANF earnings were tomorrow after market close NOT TOMORROW PRE MARKET
MDB down, OKTA up, WSM down, ANF up
ANF going to rock earnings right? As long as they don’t mention tariffs
Damn ANF premiums expensive as fuck.
You regards aren't ready for GAP turnaround , they about to do an ANF type of shit
Obvious LLM… But I also made $$ on my last ANF earnings okay, so….
Don’t miss out on ANF this time

Preppy clothes ANF saving my port
I just came here from the ANF DD thread where OP’s little sister laid out some hard moon evidence
Yea, but OP’s little sister said that ANF hits…
Great pick. I like the quality of their clothes, have been consistently beating the earnings since the new CEO joined and is rated as buy by majority of the analysts. ANF will be the next ZARA.
What happened was Millennials dropped ANF and aged out. They rebranded and marketed to Gen Z and are seeing huge growth. Same exact thing happened to Champion. Dog shit Kmart brand millennial cringe at but GenZ loves.
Tell that to my ANF puts. Ambercrombie has been a joke for like 20 years at least. I don’t even remember the last time I saw anyone wear it, yet somehow it’s up 800% in the last 5 years. Makes no sense.
I’m thinking ANF 120 for ER 8/27?
Having more locations is not really a moat in dining because the only thing you need to open more locations is capital and Naya has plenty. Competition will pressure margins and growth at both companies. Naya is growing faster and can weather more of a margin hit because they are a private company. Also, never underestimate the impact finance bros on the stock price of a company that is loved in NYC. Finance bros at hedge funds and long only’s are pretty universally in on Naya > Cava both because of taste and the absolutely massive lines we wait in every day to get our $15 chicken bowls. It’s the same thing that happened with ANF when we all realized that the mid-20s marketing chicks we were taking out all started wearing Abercrombie. Institutional money dictates the price of most stocks (esp non meme stocks) and most of that money is managed in NYC.
"THE NEXT ANF" Down 26% YTD https://preview.redd.it/mc3uirjas9hf1.png?width=1394&format=png&auto=webp&s=09f0941e0108909d762ca030607067a5de88d1c8
My 115 ANF leaps were down 90% and could be INM 3 months later. What a rollercoaster
Oh no, preppy clothes like AEO, Hollister, and ANF are about to be back in fashion again huh? 🤮
Going to buy my first call put on ANF. Pretty excited
Why is he even commenting on these things doesn't he have more important things to do?? All he is doing is dividing people and throwing up smoke screens for his bullshit...HAVE SOME CLASS MR PRESIDENT WHO CARES ABOUT SYDNEY S ...JAGUARS...ANF TAYLOR SWIFT NO ONE CAN AFFORD ANYTHING NOW AND THIS IS WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT COMON MAN REALLY...
My ANF leaps were getting so close to being ITM... Back down we go wahhhhhh
Good luck on your ANF. I don’t know why my post was downvoted. Perhaps Nutlick’s relatives not happy with me spreading the news that the **US Trade Secretary *himself* is betting that tariffs will be called off**. This is likely to be true because he’s one of POTUS’ closest confidant and will be privy to inside news.
I certainly want this to be true since I bought ANF a few months ago 😅
If it wasn’t for Sydney Sweeney I would say Abercrombie (ANF) looks better. Sales up 16% YoY, margins now 15%, and EPS up 72%. Trading at 9× earnings, 5.6× EV/EBITDA (half of the sector average). 9% free cash flow yield, zero debt, $889M cash, and they’re doing $1.3B in buybacks. Chart just broke out +23% last month though. But earnings in August could rip if they beat (guidance looks sandbagged). Valuation targets: Base case: $105 Re-rate to sector multiples: $160+ But yeah… boobs, so 🇺🇸🦅 it is.
Its net cash position as of Q1. So has some debt but more cash. if you exclude leases thats true. It has chunky lease liabilities and given its a retailer it probably has big payables line. And alot of unsold inventory.. So its not super healthy but also not in a very bad position. Most good retailers like ANF dont have debt
$AEO is not just about Sydney’s big knockers🍒 I know WSB doesn’t care about it but $12 is dirt cheap. Was $20 a few months ago. 10x PE. No Debt. Doing buybacks. AEO was hit by tariffs. They reported a $75m inventory provision in may. Also - AEO sells jeans and the big trend now is wide/Baggy jeans. Not skinny jeans. ANF is also doing well
ANF looks like a great short setup
ANF finally showing good momentum, solid fundamentals I think too
A bought a few new longs based on strong names w/in appearing strong sectors: \-NXT - solar trackers, strongest chart w/in TAN, TAN overall looks constructive \-ANF - retail apparel charts look good, ANF has been the leader for a few years \-BABA -smaller names may have more upside, but BABA is the "msft" of china names. China charts looks great \-RDDT - This is more of a fun one, chart looks good, earnings coming up I know indices look overextended, but these are sectors that appear to be strong and heading for upward moves (Solar, retail apparel, china)

If you want something different by usual stocks, I'd say AMKR, ANF & AA.
Just got off the plane and see that ANF is ripping and I got stopped out yesterday 😡
Not defensives. Retailers are also up, like ANF. Bit of a weird rotation tbh, but I‘ll take it.
If a stock is massively over bought or over sold there can be opportunities there. For recent examples see ANF which was massively overbought after earnings, or CRWD which was oversold.
Between competition and cyclicality, it's not that good of a business model IMO I don't see the brand being a thing anymore next decade, it's not Hermes of Ferrari, and items are just average in style or quality you know. I see them becoming a newer $ANF but I could be wrong ofc
I remember when DKS was on the up and up with ANF. To the moon they said. Now it’s back to DG and DLTR?
Just picked up 1,400 shares of ANF at close. It has been obliterated after reporting strong earnings. It launched to $100 per share after doing a gap fill back down. Solid free cash flow with $800MM in cash. Give me hugs and kisses after you buy and it climbs higher.
Guys last week within 2-3 days $5000 could have been turned into over $100,000. On Tuesday $5000 into ANF calls into a 3x for $15,000 by Wednesday. On Wednesday all $15,000 into ELF calls for a 3x or $45,000 by Thursday. And on Thursday all $45,000 into ULTA calls for a 3x into $145,000. Now I know we can’t tell the future but I’m trying to do that this week with 3 hits in a row. I’m thinking $5,000 into GWRE puts on Tuesday before close. If that hits then everything into VSCO calls Wednesday before close, and if that hits, everything into LULU calls Thursday before close. What are the odds of hitting that all in a row because I’m gonna try
It's not about mansplaining, most people on wallstreetbets are not smart and are just gambling with money their dad gave them for thier birthday. ELF was a clear buy last week as was ANF. Many people said ANF puts but that ship sailed 6 months ago. I got a nice 30% on ANF in and out.
Here’s how you could have turned $5000 into $3 million in just three days this last week. Tuesday before close you could have put all $5000 into ANF calls into a 3x and turned it into $15,000 by Wednesday morning. Immediately put all $15,000 into ELF calls before close for another 3x into $45,000 by Thursday morning. Then all $45,000 into ULTA calls before close for a 3x into $135,000. On Friday around 12pm you could have dropped $100,000 of that into NDX 21,000p for let’s say a 7x turning it into $700,000 (would’ve gone higher). Then at 1pm literally an hour later at 1pm all $700,000 reversed into NDX 21,300 calls for another 5x on the low end, or $3million easy. So yeah, never stop dreaming because I’m sure it could be done this week again somehow.
Way less crap to worry about with ANF. Unite for ANF
Last week the multiplier was ANF calls -> ELF calls -> GAP puts and honestly it was so obvious. Now if I can just get a single one these next week I’ll be happy.
I had ANF 2 days ago, I will hit you up with the next one
They should have just kept their mouth just about tariffs like ANF did. Most clothing is coming primarily out of China, India and Pakistan, and Vietnam. Majority is China and India though. And according to what someone said earlier, GAP sources less than 10% of product from China. So it’s just funny seeing the difference in earnings from ANF and GAP considering their products are most likely made in the same exact factories.
ANF calls straight into ELF calls was honestly the most obvious play and idk the next time an opportunity like that will come
I'm thinking AEO on this one, their near all time lows since 2020 and 2008 (for clear reasons lol) I think its going too pull an ANF imo
I'm thinking AEO just be of ANF
American eagle... To do like ANF. Go up after earnings. sell at open before the collapse? Who's on board?
