Article Summary
BUY- American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE: AEO) shares rose more than 7% after launching a new ad campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney, with the retailer announcing an advertising campaign with the actress Wednesday morning.
- The jean shorts promo comes days after HBO released the third season of Euphoria, the show that catapulted Sweeney to fame in 2019 and continues to inspire style guides, makeup tutorials and cultural commentary.
- The move extends what's been an eventful and generally positive year for the stock thanks in large part to a prior promo called Sydney Sweeney has Great Jeans, with shares recently trading for over $19, more than 80% above where they were a year ago but down about a third from a recent peak above $20 in early January.
- The initial Sweeney ad helped shares recover from a slump last spring when customers were spooked by tariffs, inflation and government spending cuts, and consequently spending less, American Eagle said.
- Analysts expect denim sales to rise as offices adopt more casual dress codes, though it remains to be seen whether more relaxed attitudes will extend to shorts.
