American Eagle

The stock plunged about 11.6% in premarket trading even though adjusted EPS of $0.79 beat expectations. Earnings were materially supported by one-time duty refunds of $161 million, which inflated the operating margin by roughly 1,170 basis points and will not recur. Core brand American Eagle saw declining comparable-store sales, while Aerie and OFFLINE grew strongly; inventory rose 14%, and the outlook for Q3 signals a sharp decline in operating income.

American Eagle Outfitters publishes quarterly results tonight; Wall Street expectations are for revenue of about $1.37 billion (+6.5%) with earnings per share falling sharply from $0.45 to $0.21.
