On this edition of Stock Movers:
- Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) shares gained today after JPMorgan boosted its price target on the retailer to $151, a street high, citing strength across categories and potential for sequential improvement in same-store-sales. Analyst Matthew Boss says: “We are raising our 2Q25 EPS to $2.33 (above Street $2.26) based on revenues +7.1% y/y (above Street +4.3% & management’s +3-5% revenue guidance) and same-store-sales growth of +4.7% same-store-sales growth (vs. Street +2.3%).”
- ASML Holding (ASML) and other European semiconductor equipment stocks gained today after their key customer, Samsung, won a contract to make AI chips for Tesla. Meanwhile, a US-EU trade agreement that exempts tariffs on semiconductor equipment gives an additional boost to the sector after its two-week long slide.
- Nike (NKE) shares are up today after JPMorgan upgrades to overweight from neutral, citing the earnings impact of the sportswear maker’s five-pronged multi-year recovery plan. JPMorgan analyst Matthew Boss notes that the recovery path will equate to positive earnings-per-share growth in the high teens to 20% through to the 2030 full-year. The recovery plan includes global inventory alignment to sales growth, accelerating momentum within global wholesale order books and 2H 2026 anniversary of about $500 million of accelerated and incremental sales-related reserves.
