Confirmed and matches Bloomberg’s own reporting, 36% surge, its biggest one day jump since November 2025. Real numbers behind it, EPS of $4.17 crushed the $1.98 estimate, and the company raised full year EPS guidance to $13.10 to $13.60, way above the earlier $10.20 to $11.00 range. One useful detail to add, roughly 9% of the float is held short, which likely amplified today’s move as short sellers were forced to cover.

@Barchart Moves like that leave dealers caught offside on $ANF short gamma. Expect forced covering into the close as spot holds and the call cluster gets pinned.

@Barchart What was the catalyst? Those pedo rapists come out with a new skinny jean?

@Barchart Why? Did they move into AI or something 🤔 🤣

@Barchart Looks impressive till you look at the monthly chart. Same price since 2024, lmao.

@Barchart The catalyst was a huge Q2 earnings beat and raised guidance. ANF posted $4.17 EPS vs. $1.99 expected, helped by a ~$100M tariff refund, while revenue grew 5% to $1.27B. Management also raised FY EPS guidance to $13.10–$13.60.

@Barchart To the moon

@Barchart A one-day surge is only the repricing; the durable question is operating follow-through. Watch comparable sales, inventory discipline, gross margin, and whether momentum extends beyond one brand or quarter.
