This morning American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (NYSE: AEO) reported Holiday sales and comps that disappointed investors. However, analysts at Janney Capital defended the stock.

"Although results were in line with management expectations, we believe the Street was looking for modest upside," said analyst Adrienne Tennant.

"We believe November comps were in the positive low-single-digit range, while December improved, and we expect that comps were in the positive mid-single-digit range, largely driven by strength after the Christmas holiday," added Tennant.

She believes American Eagle is on the right track with its spring fashion trends.
