American Eagle is done. If you wear this brand, know that you are out of style.

C'mon, like I said about Body Armour. People are not going to buy this pricy of clothing ever again. One, because they can buy the same looking stuff and more affordable costs. two, because people would rather save money and look decent, than be on the streets looking nice.

AEO is in the hated retail sector. It has a very strong balance sheet with no long term debt. Their current cash position covers their entire current liabilities. They're one retailer that should be able to weather an extreme downturn due to the strength of their financials. When the economy eventually recovers they should come out stronger than their rivals. In addition they currently sport a healthy 2.9% dividend yield.

That's it, a pretty simple pitch.

Thanks

GOOD RETAILER

perhaps an unexpected uptick in revenue this spring will give the stock a boost

a little retail now and then

A GOOD RETAIL

i thought these guys would be the next Abercrombie for teens who don't have much money, but i think the good old days are gone. These guys make junk. their quality is very very low and if you buy something you have to throw it out after couple of washes.
i think kids will go back to quality cloths, maybe they won't buy as much but they buy quality that lasts.
Abercrombie's quality is good but their stores are gay! and the reputation they have as gay is making it worst. By gay I don't mean homosexuals or anything like that...i just mean their brand is lame!

Retail is hurting big time. My kids shopped here for years and this company has lost some of its appeal. Not many kids in their stores anymore from my observation. Time to check out!
