Episode notes
Abercrombie & Fitch just saw an 18% hole blown in its stock chart, despite reporting record holiday demand. Why the panic? Wall Street is fixating on a new $90 million tariff bill and rising capital expenses, ignoring the brand’s massive turnaround success. In this episode, we break down why "good" isn't good enough for this market anymore and analyze the setup: is this a warning signal for retail margins, or a massive "sell-the-news" overreaction that created a buying opportunity?
