Abercrombie & Fitch Co. reported record Q2 2026 results, boosted by a large IEEPA tariff refund, and raised its full-year 2026 outlook for sales, margins, EPS, and share repurchases.

On August 26, 2026, Abercrombie & Fitch Co. reported record second quarter fiscal 2026 results, with net sales of $1.27 billion up 5% year over year, strong performance across regions and brands, and operating income of $253 million, which included an approximate $100 million pre-tax benefit from International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) tariff refunds. The company delivered an operating margin of 19.9% and diluted EPS of $4.17, both significantly above its prior outlook even excluding the tariff refund impact, and continued aggressive capital returns with $177 million of share repurchases in the quarter and $282 million year-to-date, reducing shares outstanding by about 7% from the start of the year. Reflecting its strong first-half performance and tariff dynamics, Abercrombie & Fitch raised its full-year fiscal 2026 guidance to expect around 5% net sales growth, an operating margin of 14.5% to 15.0%, diluted EPS of $13.10 to $13.60, and at least $500 million of share repurchases, and provided third quarter guidance for 5% to 6% sales growth, 13% to 14% operating margin, EPS of $2.90 to $3.20, and at least $100 million of share repurchases.
