The retail sector is under heavy selling pressure on Thursday as Wall Street digests President Donald Trump's tougher-than-anticipated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44626421/trumps-reign-of-tariffs-unleashes-d-day-on-wall-street-analyst-warns-of-stagflation-risk">tariff plan.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: Trump on Wednesday announced sweeping tariffs aimed at reshaping global trade and boosting American manufacturing, including a universal 10% tariff on all imports starting April 5 and&nbsp; significantly higher rates targeting around 60 countries deemed &#8220;major offenders&#8221; for imposing barriers on U.S. goods.&nbsp;
Many retailers and brands manufacture goods in China and Vietnam which now have effective tariffs rates of 54% and 46%, respectively. Stocks of companies that rely heavily on imports are experiencing significant declines as Wall Street digests the implications of the new tariff structure.&nbsp;

S&amp;P Global analysts recently warned that steep tariffs would affect retailers disproportionately and more severely than they had in the past.&nbsp;
&#8220;Broad-based tariffs could hurt more U.S. consumer products and retail companies this time around than in 2018,&#8221; analysts wrote.&nbsp;
&#8220;Price increases will be harder to pass along to the consumer this time around because of the recent inflation cycle and already weak consumer environment,&#8221; the analysts wrote, per The Street.&nbsp;
Approximately, one-third of footwear imports come in the U.S. from Vietnam, according to the Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America. Shares of footwear companies who manufacture in Vietnam, including Nike, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) and UGGS-parent Deckers Outdoor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DECK#NYSE">DECK</a>) were down dramatically on Thursday.&nbsp;
Best Buy, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBY#NYSE">BBY</a>) stock was on track for its worst day since March 2020. The electronics retailer sources approximately 60% of its goods from China with goods from Mexico also making up a significant percentage, <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/investing/stocks/s-p-global-reveals-stocks-hit-hardest-by-tariffs">according</a> to S&amp;P Global.&nbsp;
Five Below, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIVE#NASDAQ">FIVE</a>) also imports a large share of its goods and saw its stock price fall nearly 30% in Thursday's midday trading.&nbsp;
Lululemon Athletica, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>) sources approximately 40% of its products from Vietnam and 17% from Cambodia, according <a href="https://qz.com/lululemon-nike-deckers-american-eagle-tariffs-1851774516">to data</a> from Quartz. Both countries have been hit with steep tariff rates &#8211; 46% for Vietnam and 49% for Cambodia.&nbsp;
William Blair analyst Sharon Zackfia said in a note Thursday that the tariffs could result in a 7% hit to Lululemon's margins if the company takes no action.&nbsp;

Science Applications Posts Better-Than-Expected Earnings, Joins Qifu Technology, Baidu, American Eagle And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Monday

American Eagle Outfitters Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEO#NYSE">AEO</a>) shares are trading higher Monday after the company announced a $200 million <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/b44354677/aeo-inc-announces-200-million-accelerated-share-repurchase-program">accelerated share repurchase program</a>.
What Happened: American Eagle entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement with Bank of America to repurchase $200 million of its common stock.
The company expects to complete the accelerated share repurchase agreement in connection with its existing buyback authorization of 68.5 million shares. The accelerated buyback equates to approximately 18.1 million shares at Friday&#8217;s closing price.
&#8220;We are pleased to announce an accelerated share repurchase program, which reflects our strong capital position and confidence in our long-term strategic growth plan. This program, combined with our quarterly cash dividend, underscores our commitment to a balanced approach to capital allocation and delivering strong returns to shareholders,&#8221; said Jay Schottenstein, executive chairman and CEO of American Eagle.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is AEO A Good Stock To Buy?</h3>
An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages &#8211; like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AEO">American Eagle</a>&#8216;s page for example &#8211; there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.
These are known as capital allocation programs. American Eagle does pay a dividend, which yields 2.98% per year as of the closing price on Mar. 17, 2025. Feel free to search Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/dividends">dividend calendar</a> for the next company that is due to pay a dividend and determine what kind of yield you can earn for holding a share of the company.
Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. Looking through the latest news on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AEO">American Eagle</a> will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.
AEO Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/aeo">American Eagle shares</a> were up 6.37% at $11.77 at the time of publication Monday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Buybacks

Why American Eagle Stock Is Rising Monday

U.S. retail sales edged up only slightly in February, falling well short of expectations and keeping alive concerns about consumer strength <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44355195/retail-sales-rebound-less-than-expected-in-february-online-healthcare-spending-show-strong-gains">after January's dire contraction.</a>
Yet, a closer look at the latest data continues to reveal pockets of resilience leaving investors and economists debating whether consumer demand is cooling or simply shifting. 
In data released Monday by the U.S. Census Bureau, the retail sales figure showed a 0.2% monthly growth in February, following a downwardly revised 1.2% drop in January. The headline figure missed economist estimates of 0.6%. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Far From Being An Outright Recession</h3>
&#8220;The unfavorable surprise on U.S. headline retail sales—monthly growth of 0.2% compared to the consensus forecast of 0.6%—was not reflected in the other numbers in this data release,&#8221; said Mohamed El-Erian, chief economic advisor at Allianz.
A particularly important measure, known as the retail sales &#8220;control group&#8221;—which excludes spending at auto dealers, building materials, gas stations, office supply stores, mobile home dealers, and tobacco retailers—jumped 1% in February. This fully offset January's 1% decline and handily beat estimates of a modest 0.2% gain.
This control group is closely watched because it feeds directly into GDP calculations, making it a key indicator of underlying consumer demand. 
Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM US LP, said the data remains consistent with a slowing but still solid pace of household spending. 
&#8220;On a three-month average annualized pace, the control group advanced 2.6%,&#8221; Brusuelas said. &#8220;Yes, the economy is slowing, but not in line with anything near a recession yet.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Restaurants And Bars See Sharp Drops</h3>
Not all areas of consumer spending fared well. 
One of the most striking data points was the decline in restaurant and bar sales, which fell 1.54% in February—the largest drop since February 2023, as highlighted by Kevin Gordon, senior investment strategist at Charles Schwabb. 
&#8220;Over the last three months, restaurant sales have collapsed 8.5% at an annual rate,&#8221; Reinassance Macro Research indicated.
This pullback suggests that discretionary spending may be softening as households become more selective about where to spend their money.
&#8220;Notable weakness in restaurants and bars—the largest decline in two years—with no growth over the last three months,&#8221; Gregory Daco, chief economist at Ernst &amp; Young US, said. 
&#8220;Spending growth at restaurant chains decelerated from -1.7% in January to -7.5% in February while spending at independent restaurants turned negative, failing from +2.6% in January to -2.7% in February,&#8221; Sara Senatore, analyst at Bank of America, wrote in a note Monday.
&#8220;We believe this sequential&nbsp;deceleration is largely a combination of negative weather trends that worsened from January and the impact of calendar shifts, including one less day (2024 had a leap day) and the Valentine&#8217;s Day shift from a Wednesday in 2024 to a Friday in 2025,&#8221; she added. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reaction: Consumer Staples Rally, Discretionary Stocks Lag</h3>
Stocks tied to non-discretionary consumer spending saw a solid rebound Monday, as investors rotated into defensive plays. 
The Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLP#NYSE">XLP</a>) rose 0.9%, led by Brown-Forman Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BF#NYSE">BF</a>), which surged 2.8% on the back of rising U.S.-Europe trade tensions over whiskey tariffs. 
Other major gainers included Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADM#NYSE">ADM</a>), The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EL#NYSE">EL</a>), and Constellation Brands Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>), all of which climbed about 2%.
Meanwhile, the SPDR S&amp;P Retail ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XRT#NYSE">XRT</a>) gained 1.1%, with notable jumps from Guess Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GES#NYSE">GES</a>), up 32%, EVgo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVGO#NASDAQ">EVGO</a>), up 7%, and American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEO#NYSE">AEO</a>), up 6.8%.
However, the consumer discretionary sector struggled to gain traction. 
The Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLY#NYSE">XLY</a>) inched up just 0.1%, weighed down by concerns over spending cutbacks. Still, a few travel and leisure names saw gains, with Airbnb Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABNB#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>), eBay Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBAY#NASDAQ">EBAY</a>), Carnival Corp.

American Eagle Outfitters shares are trading higher after the company announced a $200 million accelerated share repurchase program with Bank of America, N.A.

American Eagle Outfitters Announces $200M Accelerated Share Repurchase Program With Bank Of America

American Eagle Outfitters Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEO#NYSE">AEO</a>) shares are trading lower by 13% to $10.90 since Monday&#8217;s open. The company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44291232/american-eagle-outfitters-stock-slides-after-q4-report-heres-why">fourth-quarter</a> financial results and received a number of analyst rating updates.
What To Know: American Eagle Outfitters reported fourth-quarter earnings of 54 cents per share, aligning with analyst expectations, while revenue reached $1.6 billion. 
Comparable sales grew 3%, with Aerie up 6% and American Eagle rising 1%. Gross margin held at 37.3%, reflecting higher freight and product costs offset by lower markdowns. Inventory decreased 1% to $637 million, potentially positioning the company well for spring.

CEO Jay Schottenstein highlighted the success of AEO's Powering Profitable Growth strategy, citing strong operating profit and disciplined expense management. However, the company forecasted a mid-single-digit revenue decline for the first quarter and a low-single-digit drop for fiscal 2025, with gross margin expected to fall.
What Else: Telsey Advisory Group's Dana Telsey reiterated a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44311401/american-eagle-outfitters-to-be-hit-with-weakening-demand-says-analyst">Market Perform rating</a> while cutting AEO's price target from $18 to $12. The analyst noted a weaker-than-expected FY25 outlook due to soft consumer demand and cold weather. 
While AEO's peak-season performance was strong, macroeconomic uncertainty and sluggish first-quarter sales remain concerns. Operating income guidance of $360–$375 million falls short of the $454 million consensus.

B of A Securities Maintains Neutral on American Eagle Outfitters, Lowers Price Target to $13

Telsey Advisory Group analyst Dana Telsey&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AEO/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">reiterated a Market Perform</a> rating on the shares of American Eagle Outfitters Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEO#NYSE">AEO</a>) and lowered the price target from $18 to $12.
The company&#8217;s quarterly performance was driven by stronger expense control and a favorable gross margin, with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/44291232" rel="noreferrer noopener">sales falling 4.4%</a> to $1.605 billion, slightly better than the expected 4.6% decline, noted the analyst.
The gross margin remained flat at 37.3%, surpassing expectations, and SG&amp;A improved due to lower compensation expenses. Operating income of $142.3 million exceeded consensus and guidance.
The quarter&#8217;s operating income was the highest in over a decade, reflecting progress in the Powering Profitable Growth strategy.

According to the analyst, AEO&#8217;s FY25 outlook is weaker than expected, with a low single-digit revenue decline projected, falling short of the prior consensus for a 3% increase.
The company cited slower demand and cold weather in first-quarter FY25 but anticipates improvement by spring.
Sales have softened in first-quarter due to a weaker consumer and unfavorable weather, with limited visibility for improvement amid a challenging macro environment.
Gross margin is expected to decline, and SG&amp;A is projected to contract. Operating income is guided between $360 million &#8211; $375 million, significantly lower than the consensus of $454 million.
While management is taking steps to boost sales and reduce costs, both FY25 and first-quarter guidance are well below prior expectations.
Despite confidence in a recovery, the uncertain macro backdrop remains a significant hurdle. AEO&#8217;s strong performance during peak periods contrasts with challenges in the slower periods, concluded the analyst.
Price Action: AEO shares are trading lower by 4.19% at $10.97 at last check Thursday.
