American Eagle Analyst Ratings

- JPMorgan: Maintained Neutral rating, raised price target from $19 to $21
- Bank of America Securities: Reiterates Underperform rating with a price target of $16
It's been a mixed year for American Eagle, which is one of the key players in teen and young adult apparel. The stock hit new five-year highs back in December with a key rally, as well as a rally in April 2026.
Some of the reason for the rally was a new advertising campaign with actress Sydney Sweeney. A partnership with Sweeney continues with new merchandise launched in April that could contribute to second-quarter strength, with the quarter beginning on May 3.
Also likely being a factor in the second quarter is American Eagle's partnership with country superstar Ella Langley. The country star partnered with American Eagle for spring and summer collections.
Langley set records this year with her new album and single "Choosin' Texas," which spent 20 straight non-holiday weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
Also potentially helping American Eagle in the quarter is the retailer's merchandise for "Off Campus," a hit series on Amazon.com Inc
Investors looking towards American Eagle's potential summer earnings strength may want to take a look at the recent results from Abercrombie & Fitch Co.
The retailer's second quarter, which included the months of June, July and August, saw revenue and earnings per share that beat analyst estimates. The company also raised its full-year outlook after the quarterly results.
That report may signal strength for the sector and put pressure on American Eagle to report a strong quarterly result and raise guidance.
American Eagle shares fell after the last quarterly results. The company posted a double beat in the first quarter, but higher inventory and a comp decline for the American Eagle brand sent shares lower.
