Today analysts at Janney reiterated a Buy rating and price target of $26.00 on American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE: AEO).

Analyst Adrienne Tennant defended the stock, claiming the selloff was overdone.

“We remain confident that AEO will continue to be a [back-to-school] winner this fall. We do point out that ANF has been very aggressive season-to-date with its denim promotions (but actually less deep than last year), with $20 and up denim at Hollister and ‘Up to 50% denim’ off at Abercrombie adult.”

“We believe the selloff in the stock is overdone, as there is a long runway ahead in the quarter, and we continue to believe AEO’s product is extremely well-positioned for the heart of the BTS selling season. We would use weakness as an opportunistic entry point on shares,” stated today’s report.
