Our note on each quarter Abercrombie & Fitch files

Where Abercrombie & Fitch Co stands after its latest 10-Q

Revenue for the twelve months to August 2026 was $5.34bn, up 4.7% on a year earlier, about the same pace as a quarter earlier. Free-cash-flow margin rose to 10.6% from 6.8% a year earlier. The diluted share count is down 9.8% on a year earlier, which lifts each remaining share. Against its peers on growth, profitability, cash generation and balance sheet, it grades B+. It passes 1 of our 1 financial-health checks. Our cash-flow model value is $259 a share, against a share price of $165. At that price, our model says the market is pricing in cash flow shrinking about 0.9% a year for five years, slower than the 7.5% a year revenue growth it has delivered.

The Fundamentalytics view

Next results ~November 24, 2026 (estimated)

Abercrombie & Fitch Co's trailing-twelve-month revenue grew 4.7% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of 10.6%. Where it stands out: change in share count of -9.8% ranks 1 of 27 apparel retail companies we cover.

Our discounted-cash-flow model values the business at ~$260 per share in the base case (~$200–$340 across growth scenarios) — model values under stated assumptions, not a price target.

Current signal Free cash flow diverging from earnings: TTM free cash flow grew 64.2% while net income fell 0.9%: a 65pp divergence.

Assembled from SEC-filed figures — the full workings are on this page and in our methodology. Observations, not recommendations.

Strengths

  • Estimates rising. Analysts' consensus for next year's earnings per share has risen 12.6% over 90 days.

What the price is pricing in

The share price implies cash flow shrinking about 1.4% a year for five years.That is slower than the 7.5% a year revenue growth Abercrombie & Fitch has delivered.

  • Last 12 months4.7%
  • 3 years a year11.5%

Our cash-flow model with every input fixed except growth over the next five years, solved for the growth at which the model value equals the share price ($160.49, Nov 3, 2026). Cash-flow growth then fades to 2.5% a year; discount rate 8.5%. Delivered figures are revenue growth from SEC filings.

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Abercrombie & Fitch Co's free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($474M, FY2027 Q2 TTM), growing 6.5% and 7% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 8.1% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$200–~$340 ; that spread sets a 25% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Abercrombie & Fitch Co's free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $474M, FY2027 Q2 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value Abercrombie & Fitch Co as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 10.2%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 1.16 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Options strategies

All options ideas

How Abercrombie & Fitch Co’s listed options are priced, and three ways to use them that follow from our valuation. Quotes are delayed, read November 2, 2026. Check the live chain at your broker before trading.

Implied vs realised volatility

Includes results

A results date falls inside these options’ life. Implied volatility is meant to be higher for that, so we do not call it rich.

  • Implied is 0.89× the last 60 days’ realised volatility .
  • Puts and calls are priced at about the same implied volatility.
  • Why: an earnings date falls inside the option's life, so implied volatility is expected to be high.

Our rule for “rich”: implied at least 1.2× 60-day realised (beyond measurement noise), above 1-year realised (not just a calm spell), and in the top 20% of our coverage that day. Never with results inside the option’s life. These are our conventions, built on research showing option prices usually imply more movement than follows, most when the gap is wide. How we judge this.

Results are expected around November 25, 2026, before this option expires: the share price can jump on results, and the premium partly reflects that.

Covered call

Not offered: no liquid call at or above our price target — the model says the upside is worth more than any listed strike.

For holders: sell a call at a strike at or above our fair value, so the shares are only sold at a price the model calls full value.

Collar

Not offered: the shares trade below our fair value: a collar caps upside the model expects.

For holders of a stock trading at or above our fair value: buy a put for a floor and sell a call to pay for it.

General research, not personal advice. Options can lose you more than you expect and are not suitable for everyone: put sellers can be made to buy shares that keep falling, call sellers give up gains above the strike, and results or news can move prices sharply. Chances shown are approximations from each option’s delta. Spreads, fees and early assignment are not modelled.

Growth, profitability, cash generation and balance sheet are percentiles against the companies we cover in the same industry, from SEC filings (100 = best). Value compares the share price with our modelled value range (50 = at our base value; higher = cheaper). A description of reported data and our model — not a quality score or advice.
