American Eagle EPS Jumps 15%
American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE:AEO), the apparel retailer known for its American Eagle and Aerie brands, reported second-quarter fiscal 2025 results on Sept. 3, 2025. The most important news in this release was an improvement in both earnings and margins, with the company delivering earnings per share of $0.45. Operating income reached $103 million, well above the operating income guidance of $40 million–$45 million issued after the prior quarter’s weak performance. While Q2 revenue of $1.28 billion slipped 1% from last year, it beat earlier company guidance of a 5% revenue decline.
Overall, the quarter marked a rebound in profitability, though total sales (GAAP) remained slightly below prior year levels amid ongoing challenges for the core American Eagle brand.
