Abercrombie & Fitch shares gained traction following a recommendation upgrade by UBS, which raised its rating to "buy" and increased the price target from $173 to $220. Analysts noted the brand's improving momentum and potential for market share growth by re-entering neglected second-tier markets, alongside a strengthening international presence, particularly in the UK and Germany. UBS anticipates an average sales growth of 7% over the next five years, fueled by enhanced product offerings, increased marketing investment, and a balanced approach to in-store and online sales.
