<h3>A Look at Abercrombie &amp; Fitch P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Abercrombie &amp; Fitch has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 20.78 of the Specialty Retail industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745856031_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Shares of broader consumer discretionary stocks are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

Citigroup analyst Paul Lejuez maintains Abercrombie &amp; Fitch (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANF#NYSE">ANF</a>) with a Buy and lowers the price target from $135 to $98.

Shares of Abercrombie &amp; Fitch Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANF#NYSE">ANF</a>) are trading lower Tuesday as retail and apparel stocks sold off amid growing investor anxiety over U.S. tariff hikes and the rising <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/upgrades/25/04/44698711/jpmorgan-analyst-recession-risk-sees-utilities-shielded-from-tariff-impact">probability of a recession</a>.
What To Know: The decline reflects broader weakness across the sector. Shares of Gap Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GAP#NYSE">GAP</a>) fell 7.59% and Lululemon Athletica Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>) dropped 7.66%, as markets responded to fresh economic concerns. The downturn comes alongside a warning from JP Morgan, which raised its U.S. recession risk projection to 60%, citing the newly announced tariff increases as the "largest U.S. tax hike in nearly 60 years."
According to JP Morgan analyst Maia G. Crook, the 22% tariff hike is expected to strain household budgets, cut into business spending and disrupt global supply chains, all while diminishing consumer sentiment. Crook noted that while there's still a chance of avoiding a recession, that outcome depends heavily on the success of upcoming trade negotiations, which remain uncertain.
The pressure on retailers reflects fears that discretionary spending could take a hit as economic conditions tighten. The tariff escalation has introduced new volatility into an already fragile outlook for consumer-facing businesses.
Despite broader market ETFs such as SPY, IVV and VOO trading higher on the day, the retail sector has lagged, signaling investor concern over how tariff-driven cost pressures and weak consumer confidence might impact earnings in the coming quarters.
ANF Price Action: Abercrombie shares are down 8.68% at $66.44 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

SERV

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

The S&amp;P 500 had another bloody day on Thursday, once again dropping more than 1% and officially entering correction territory. A correction is typically defined as a 10% drop from all-time highs and while they're common even in bull market years, the speed of the most recent drop has investors jittery.
With tariff uncertainty and economic slowdown fears looming large, defensive sectors are outperforming. Some of 2024's biggest winners have taken some heavy hits to start 2025.
Markets could undoubtedly fall further from here, but corrections are often ideal times to search for good companies trading at discounts. Some names that have been hammered hardest recently are reaching oversold levels and many of them still have solid fundamentals and upside potential.
Here are five oversold stocks that look close to a turning point.
Today, we'll use the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to find five stocks that have been oversold in the market drop of these last few weeks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">First Citizens BancShares Inc. </h2>
First Citizens Bank and Trust Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCNCA#NASDAQ">FCNCA</a>) was a relatively obscure large-cap regional bank holding company until about two years ago, when the firm acquired the floundering Silicon Valley Bank during the banking crisis of 2023. The stock plummeted to $500 per share in March 2023 while the crisis loomed over the sector, but the government bailed out the troubled bank and its assets were sold off. First Citizens acquired SVB's commercial banking business at the end of March and FCNCA shares rallied nearly 200% in just three months following the acquisition.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXd3ULK-TF-W17WlDuTNwPRzPUwN0VReqCqBLL8XiceRB-ZjApRK_JBBlZTL6A5Z3EIPm1K7hbbpQQksBmhZVR_FpeiJUO_Xojj_yzmKjHYZIEHPSwv8TMrX4ewkGQGkWU4j8jIv?key=t8rk1H-mqlcYEfVzNqwDMcYd" alt="" /></figure>
The stock set a new all-time high of $2410 in January 2025 before pulling back in the recent market correction. However, the company is still well-positioned and the current 25% drawdown could present a buying opportunity. The company has strong margins for a regional banking group with an operating margin of 25.3% and profit margins of 18.2%.
EPS growth in 2025 is expected to decline due to accumulating expenses and debt, but the company projects 14% EPS growth in 2026 and the stock is trading at just nine times forward earnings. FCNCA also has a 90.09 Quality score on Benzinga Edge rankings. The RSI has shot up to 56 following a dip below the oversold threshold of 30, signaling a potential reversal.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Amazon Inc. </h2>
Investors were able to purchase Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) shares for less than $90 in late 2022. Those willing to take the leap were rewarded with gains of nearly 300% in just two-and-a-half years. While buying stocks in the heart of a bear market is challenging, Amazon withstood the Dot Com Bubble, the Great Financial Crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2022 bear market &#8211; rebounding to new all-time highs in the aftermath of each event. Today, the stock is down 18% from all-time highs, which hardly qualifies as a calamity. However, quality stocks don't go on sale very often, which could allow buyers to accumulate more shares.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdqQwmyhZdtFKpn17hYN-HdQNvAkydaBJdnHo9mc1DrLRH886szOx39JbtR0uHPOV6T_ym_kurpbMoyRiSxtXcTW-dY400LA7fHS6vsfs-7vyCtDaa71v4l3Tz8DXeMWEX0C1jL_A?key=t8rk1H-mqlcYEfVzNqwDMcYd" alt="" /></figure>
AMZN shares have been triggering oversold readings on the RSI since February, but the stock continued to grind lower through the end of the month and into March. The most recent oversold signal was triggered on March 11 and the RSI quickly jumped back above 50.
The company&#8217;s share price has yet to follow this move, although a double bottom pattern appears to be forming, which would reinforce the trend reversal signal from the RSI. Amazon has a 73.21 Momentum score and 82.1 Quality score from Benzinga Edge and trades at 35 times earnings, which is the lowest P/E for the stock since the pandemic.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Evercore Inc. </h2>
Evercore (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVR#NYSE">EVR</a>) was expected to be one of the big winners under the new Trump administration as they specialize in mergers, acquisitions and restructuring advisory services. But the new administration has left many of the tight Biden-era FTC rules in place and Evercore's stock has faded in 2025. After hitting an all-time high of $324 following the 2024 US election, the stock had dropped below $190 by March &#8211; a more than 40% decline. However, the Evercore selloff may be reaching an end as the RSI triggered an oversold signal on March 11.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc3SAk8V45FuO71djvIj6Oj3hPyTstJmIWqmwU0PhsN9OAbZK4oVLyutMtyLtB7EHsUPjYZm1q_9RYob7lQDWL97oVZ8J2tKu2JLciU2TII15wow0LGPkDB09s5uBLpk5PP1RE00Q?key=t8rk1H-mqlcYEfVzNqwDMcYd" alt="" /></figure>
Evercore's underlying business remains strong despite the lack of M&amp;A activity. The company has a 12.6% profit margin and projects EPS growth of over 37% in 2025. The valuation is also enticing, with a Forward P/E of 10.89 and a Price to Free-Cash-Flow rate of 8.47. Evercore's Benzinga Edge scores are excellent, too: 90.41 for Quality and 84.00 for Growth.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hub Group Inc. </h2>
Transportation stocks have been crushed to start 2025 and Hub Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUBG#NASDAQ">HUBG</a>) has been no exception. After closing at an all-time high of $53.21 on November 25, the rail and trucking firm has lost 30% in the last three months, significantly underperforming major market indices. The stock has also triggered three oversold signals on the RSI, most recently on March 13.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXd6kB4UJwfjU4O3e_CWIbZeHBMNRqeNaWLt6wimbAcyyuBzyJYT1t_JszbDCvc0qE1pneXrJcgMbz_loCRyLLSy1CBVjsSwVW4ciM6qvwqzJgPB6tnc9l5J7N5kUKcQ5s7opUBr0Q?key=t8rk1H-mqlcYEfVzNqwDMcYd" alt="" /></figure>
Hub Group is a good rebound candidate from here because the company has solid fundamentals and very little debt in what's traditionally a low-margin business. Hub Group's 0.31 debt/equity ratio is far lower than that of competitors like UPS, FedEx and J.B. Hunt and its stock trades at just 13 times forward earnings. Hub Group expects EPS growth of 14% in 2025 and 29% in 2026, a promising outlook. If the company can hit those earnings projections, the stock's current price could look like quite a bargain.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Abercrombie and Fitch Co. </h2>
Abercrombie and Fitch's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANF#NYSE">ANF</a>) turnaround was a big story in markets as the stock rallied from $23 in May 2023 to $197 in June 2024. The parabolic stock move wasn't just a short squeeze either, as the company has grown EPS by 78% over the last five years thanks to sales growth and margin expansion. However, the stock is currently in a brutal drawdown, losing more than 60% of its value since that June 2024 all-time high. Is the bottom finally settling? The RSI is hinting that this may be the case.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfZxTvj5sPG2RF4N1xq9Z_kz1lDaMmLzBPbkZTuKBBosVT5nz6rKicLjta9TJDpAhIqQTS74HyAzno8qYPhYXU6EU-rg2v9iYlS8XSky7kNhggqbrtUCAoqXt9T1xT0jrxo0ghFzA?key=t8rk1H-mqlcYEfVzNqwDMcYd" alt="" /></figure>
False oversold signals from the RSI have been common during ANF's decline, but the most recent one quickly reversed and headed back over 50, potentially signaling a trend reversal. ANF has strong underlying metrics, like a profit margin of 11.44%, easily surpassing competitors like American Eagle, Urban Outfitters and The Gap. The stock trades at just 6.7 times forward earnings and has earned Benzinga Edge scores of 91.86 in Growth and 83.77 in Value.
