ANF ABERCROMBIE & FITCH CO /DE/ Insider Trading

CEO Horowitz sells 29,769 ANF shares at $100.00; stock down -28.5% from 52-week high, cross-ticker track record shows +26.2% avg 30d return after prior sells.

Fran Horowitz, CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, sold 29,769 shares at $100.00 on 2026-02-06, reducing holdings by -8.8%, at a price now $92.79 or -28.5% below the 52-week high of $129.85. This sale follows four consecutive same-day sales on 2026-02-05, the day before this transaction. Horowitz's cross-ticker track record across 20 prior open-market sales shows an average 30-day return of +26.2% and average 90-day return of +40.8%, though his 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00% indicates those subsequent gains did not accrue to the advantage of his prior sales—in other words, the stocks he sold went on to rise, not fall. ANF itself trades at a low P/E of 8.15 with recent quarterly net income of $112,995,000 and annual revenue growth of +15.6%, reflecting underlying operational strength. The concentrated selling activity in mid-February warrants tracking against forward price action and any public disclosure of the motivations behind the multi-day execution.

ANF CEO Horowitz sold 67,031 shares for $6.9M at $103.24 avg price; stock down 23.2% in 30 days

Fran Horowitz, ANF's Chief Executive Officer, executed 10 separate sales totaling 67,031 shares for $6,920,167.90 across February 4–5, 2026, at a blended average price of $103.24. This represents a -16.5% reduction in her holdings (405.3K to 338.3K shares post-transaction). The transaction occurred as ANF's stock has declined 23.2% over the prior 30 days and is trading 24.8% below its 52-week high of $129.85, despite strong fundamentals including 15.6% annual revenue growth, a P/E of 8.58, and recent quarterly net income of $113.0M on $1.3B revenue. The CEO's sales were executed at prices materially above the current market price of $97.66, and her cross-ticker track record shows a 0.00% well-timed sell rate across 19 prior open-market sales, with an average 90-day return of +55.8% after her sales (indicating her prior sells missed subsequent gains). The absence of any prior well-timed pattern in her open-market history, combined with the sharp downward price action and valuation dislocation relative to fundamentals, warrants investor attention to whether management's confidence in near-term recovery is diminishing.

CEO Fran Horowitz sold 100,000 ANF shares across 4 transactions for $10.1M (blended avg $101.23/share) on Feb 2–3, 2026.

Fran Horowitz, ANF's Chief Executive Officer, executed 4 separate sales totaling 100,000 shares for $10,122,766.07, reducing her holdings by 19.8% from 505,303 to 405,303 shares. The transactions occurred at prices ($100.76–$102.77) near the current market price of $105.56, which is 18.7% below the 52-week high of $129.85 and down 15.1% over the past 30 days. Horowitz's cross-ticker track record shows 19 prior sells with an average 90-day return of +55.8% and a well-timed rate of 0.00%, indicating her prior open-market sales have historically been followed by stock appreciation rather than declines. The company's fundamentals remain solid (P/E 9.28, annual revenue growth +15.6%, net income $113.0M on $1.3B quarterly revenue), but the timing of this large CEO liquidation during recent downward price momentum warrants investor attention.

CEO Fran Horowitz sold 203,200 shares for $19.7M in 5 separate transactions on Jan 22–23, reducing holdings by 28.7%

Fran Horowitz, CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, executed 5 separate sales totaling 203,200 shares for $19,708,346.65 on January 22–23, 2026, at prices ranging from $95.07 to $100.52, with a blended average of $96.99.

The stock is currently trading at $97.09, roughly in line with the sale prices, and down 23.4% over the past 30 days and 25.2% from its 52-week high of $129.85. In the context of Horowitz's prior trade history at this ticker, his 5 previous sales at ANF (2023–2024) all saw the stock rise by 40.8% to 69.2% over the subsequent 90 days, meaning 0 of 5 prior sales occurred ahead of declines; however, the recent 30-day price decline of 23.4% suggests different market conditions than his prior exits. The company's fundamentals remain solid—Q latest shows $1.3B revenue (+15.6% annual growth), $113M net income, and a P/E of 8.53—providing little obvious operational distress signal to explain the recent stock weakness.

Director Suzanne M Coulter sold 6,800 shares of ANF for $1.1M on 2024-12-02; still holds 9,275 shares

Director Coulter sold 6,800 shares (42.3% reduction from pre-transaction holdings of 16,075 shares) at $161.80 per share. The stock has appreciated significantly since: it now trades at $161.52, roughly flat from sale price, but stands 16.0% below its 52-week high of $192.34 and has gained 17.2% over the past 90 days. ANF itself is performing well with annual revenue growth of 15.8% and strong profitability (net income $133.2M on quarterly revenue of $1.1B), trading at a P/E of 24.74. The sale represents a material reduction in her stake, though she retains meaningful ownership of 9,275 shares, suggesting incomplete portfolio exit from the position.

SVP Gregory Henchel sells 10,000 ANF shares at $150.33; stock now $161.52, up 17.2% in 30/90 days.

Gregory J. Henchel, SVP, General Counsel & Secretary, sold 10,000 shares at $150.33 on 2024-12-02, reducing his ANF holdings by 24.8% to 30,347 shares. The transaction occurred when the stock was trading 16.0% below its 52-week high of $192.34. Since the sale, ANF has appreciated 17.2% over both the 30-day and 90-day periods, and currently trades at $161.52. His prior five trades at ANF (all in March 2024) posted positive 90-day returns ranging from +39.2% to +47.7%, with zero achieving negative 90-day performance; this December sale has similarly been followed by strength. The company's fundamentals remain intact, with annual revenue growth of +15.8% and a P/E of 24.74. The timing pattern suggests this sale, like his prior ANF transactions, occurred ahead of or during a rally rather than ahead of a decline.

EVP/COO Lipesky sells 8,605 ANF shares at $150.20; stock up 18.1% in 30 days but poorly-timed sells historically (+19.4% avg 90d return).

Lipesky Scott D. sold 8,605 shares worth $1,292,471.00 on 2024-11-29 at $150.20, reducing his holdings by 8.1% to 97,850 shares. Across his prior sales at ANF, only 1 of 5 prior sells were well-timed (negative 90-day return), indicating a pattern of selling before stock appreciation rather than declines. His cross-ticker track record shows 90-day returns averaging +19.4% after sells, meaning the stock typically rose after his sales—a sign of poor exit timing. The stock is currently at $154.97, up 18.1% over the past 30 days, continuing a pattern of strength; at this transaction price, the sale occurred well before recent momentum. The company's fundamentals remain solid with $1.1B quarterly revenue and +15.8% annual growth, so this sale does not appear reactive to deteriorating business conditions.

EVP Desai Samir sold 19,041 shares of ANF at $131.36 (-40.5% of holdings); stock now down 32.5% from 52-week high

Desai Samir, Chief Digital & Technology Officer, executed a substantial reduction in his ANF position, selling 19,041 shares at $131.36 and retaining 27,985 shares post-transaction. The sale represents a 40.5% reduction of his pre-transaction holdings. The timing is noteworthy: ANF traded at $131.36 on the sale date but has since declined to $129.86, and the stock currently sits 32.5% below its 52-week high of $192.34, reflecting a marked deterioration from peak valuation despite underlying fundamentals showing 15.8% annual revenue growth and a P/E of 19.89. The executive retained material holdings post-sale, suggesting he did not exit his position entirely, though the scale of reduction warrants attention given the company's apparent operational strength and the stock's recent momentum loss.

EVP Lipesky sells 9,000 ANF shares at $146.80; stock now $139.66, down 27.4% from 52-week high

Scott D. Lipesky, EVP, COO and CFO of Abercrombie & Fitch, sold 9,000 shares at $146.80 on 2024-08-30, reducing his holdings by 7.8%. The stock has since declined to $139.66, down 27.4% from its 52-week high of $192.34, suggesting this sale was well-positioned ahead of the broader pullback. However, Lipesky's transaction-level timing at ANF is mixed: only 1 of his 4 prior sales at this ticker was well-timed (negative 90-day returns), with the most recent ANF sale on 2024-05-31 posting -19.4% over 90 days but his earlier 2024-01-08 sale gaining +25.5%, indicating inconsistent execution at this specific security. The company's fundamentals remain solid—Revenue $1,020,730,000.00 with Net income $113,850,000.00 and 15.8% annual revenue growth—leaving open whether recent weakness reflects valuation reset or operational concern.
