Abercrombie & Fitch Co. expects to deliver approximately 130 net new store experiences in fiscal 2026, comprising 50 new stores and 80 remodels and rightsizes against roughly 20 closures. The new stores are expected to be relatively balanced across the Abercrombie and Hollister brands and weighted toward the Americas. Management noted that 2026 marks the company's fifth consecutive year as a net store opener, and said the recently opened Abercrombie SoHo location has performed above expectations, with elements of that concept to be incorporated into additional stores over time. The initiative complements ANF's broader push to expand through digital channels, partnerships and new product categories, though the company said execution will be key as it balances expansion spending with healthy profitability and disciplined capital allocation. Shares of the Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) company have jumped 46% in the past six months, outperforming the industry and the broader Retail-Wholesale sector, which fell 6.1% and 0.7%, respectively.
