Can Aeropostale Climb Past American Eagle Outfitters and Abercrombie & Fitch?

 

Aeropostale (NYSE: ARO ) will release its quarterly report on Wednesday, and investors have suffered greatly since mid-summer because teen retailer's dismal results sent the stock down sharply. Yet whilst rivals American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE: AEO ) and Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF ) have seen much the same challenges, Aeropostale is working hard to bounce back and avoid getting mired in losses for a considerably long time.

Aeropostale has had to cope with fickle customers in the teen-retail space for a long time, and overall, it has done a fantastic job historically of reading adjusting trends and responding accordingly. Recently, though, Aeropostale hasn't come up through an answer to its sagging talk about price. What's in store with the teen retailer, and can it regain the top hand against Abercrombie and American Eagle? Let's take an early check out what's been happening with Aeropostale in the last quarter and what we're prone to see in its report.
